2. True or False - everyone in the UK has to fill out a tax return?

Explanation

Luckily for us, very few people in the UK have to fill out a tax return. Most people have tax deducted from their payslip, and if that's their only income they don't normally have to fill out a tax return - if you receive child benefit though, and either you or your partner earns over £50,000 then you will have to fill one in, so don't get caught out!

3. Which note does an orchestra tune to?

Explanation

In case anyone's interested, the oboe provides the A and everyone else tunes their A to that note, to make sure everyone's the same. The oboe has a bright, penetrating sound, and is generally more stable a note than the other instruments.
