Example of how to calculate output tax due under the Lennartz mechanism Borchester College started building a new wing in February 2003, with a mixture of lecture rooms (50%), offices for external use (20%) and accommodation (30%).
Borchester College’s finance director chooses to claim all of the £122,500 as input tax on the next VAT return in 2004, even though Borchester College is partially exempt, and can only claim back 30% of input VAT.
Over a twenty-year period, the finance director pays back that element of VAT relating to the exempt element (50%*£122,500) Output tax is payable in each VAT return period in which non-business use occurs over the remaining life of the asset.

 Graham Stowe Bateson - Law in Action
Marilyn Stowe, one of the UK’s leading family lawyers, has been consulted for advice on an emerging divorce scandal in ‘The Archers’, the BBC’s longest running radio drama.
Producers of the programme wanted to ensure that the storyline involving the divorce of Matt Crawford, the Chairman of Borchester Land, the company behind often-controversial property developments in Ambridge, was as realistic as possible.
The storyline is now running and promises to produce some stormy scenes — especially when Matt’s mistress Lillian Bellamy, a member of the Archer family, uses her divorce as an opportunity to get closer to the object of her affection.

Borchester (again the Archers raise their heads) was an extension to Cotton Lane (OO scale), but lasted only briefly as the combined layouts were too big for home use.
Borchester had a particularly light baseboard for its size, due to the integral use of the plywood retaining walls for baseboard strength.
About two thirds of Borchester is still intact and stored in the shed, I will reuse the baseboard for another layout at some date.

 Drop the jargon from privacy policies, says privacy chief | OUT-LAW.COM
The study was not based on a real bank: Borchester is the fictional town in BBC Radio 4's soap The Archers.
On a dummy web site for Borchester Bank, the "typical" notice was presented in a scroll box containing over 1,600 densely-packed and unformatted words of legalese, with an "Accept" button beneath the box.
So when questioned about Borchester Bank's layered notice, he conceded the point: this web page should have provided basic information on the page by default, in addition to the links to more details.

 The Times' Obituary for JACK MAY
Latterly, of course, he and his Borchester wine bar had seemed less out of place in a serial which, in past years, had been furiously and trendily updating itself to be more in tune with the mores of the late 20th century.
Drugs, abortion, live-in gay relationships, depression, suicide, Jennifer Aldridge trying to learn to fly are now staple fare, at a far remove from the original gentle bucolics of a rural Britain still in a state of innocence in such matters.
His father would have liked to see him in jail ­ and nearly did when his son was implicated in the Great Borchester Mail Van Robbery, for which which he was tried and happily acquitted.

 Owen Massey - Libraries - Erotic fiction in Borsetshire Libraries
The central library in Borchester, the county town, has a stock of 125,000 items and also supports smaller branch libraries throughout the county.
Restrictions may be deemed desirable, although a measure of flexibility would do no harm in allowing teenagers to find their own level in the library's collections, as no two people develop at the same rate.
In Borchester, where all libraries have computerised circulation systems, it would be simple to prevent books from the collection from being borrowed on a child ticket.

 United Kingdom Electoral Registers
As the index cannot be split, it is the Library’s practice in these circumstances to bind it with the constituency that comes first in the alphabet.
Thus, if ‘Borchester’ Council produces a street index covering constituencies of Borchester East and West, it will be bound with Borchester East; and if either constituency extends beyond the borough’s boundary, streets in those parts would not be indexed.
In some cases there are street indexes only to polling districts but, as the registers for these are only a few pages long and arranged by street in alphabetical order, such indexes are redundant.

But, it could be improved with a more focused aim, for example: "How have the morphology and services of Ambridge changed since 1950 in relation to its population growth?" A STUDY OF BORCHESTER No better, possibly worse because there could be more of it.
Also good but more challenging because it involves all that is in (a) above plus a potentially complex questionnaire to residents, and that requires a well thought out sampling framework.
It might, however, be practicable for a village, or for a selected part of a town.

Next day after Lauds (and a jolly good one it was too, left me really whacked out, they say no-pain, no-gain) and Nones, Nora beetled off to the kitchens to find out more about Septadecaherbis, while Sister Amanda and I cycled down to Borchester to whip Novice Evadne's boyfriend into action.
I dont mean that literally, of course, a Sister of St Hilda would never use a whip.
She'd have made the eight miles to Borchester in ten minutes if I hadn't slowed her down, but even with me puffing along after her it was only a 15 minute journey, I think I got the benefit of being in her slipstream.
