Surprise! :D The project was called 'making tax digital' it was expressly to remove paper forms for VAT.

This is interesting, and meets my needs. I tried Gnucash, but the double entry bookkeeping was a bit to advanced for my small-business'/smooth-brain needs (amortising my stock of utility bills seemed a bit excessive! - though I am sure I was doing it wrong)
This is not tangental - I am heartened, my hope is that this would become normal. Despite my moan, it isn't that bad and I'm sure I would have had different IT headaches on windows - security comes to mind.
I still use proprietary android software on my phone, but I try not to do anything secure on my phone (this is also getting harder as banks are insisting that I convert to apps)
Which is?
It works on chromium, not firefox. I guess I should be more flexible. It is likely that the bug is in the bank's site, so I wasn't sure about putting in a bug report. The website pauses on the 'loading' animated icon, when you try to navigate away, it tells you 'Your session has expired'. It hasn't been fixed by changing the user-agent (assuming I got it right). I don't know if the bank would give them a dummy account for testing, but I'll file a report anyway.
I don't know if the UK is worse than anywhere else (?)
This sounds smart
Thanks - I had not thought of this. I'll give it a go... [edit: no dice :(] It works in chromium, so there is a solution... its just tiring to remember which browser to use for which site.
Also, please feel free to answer if you aren't based in the UK, I assume this isn't a UK only problem, but I'm based here.
Just a note to say that this is the electricity market breaking down - don't celebrate it! France has had low-carbon energy since the 70s when they built a load of nuclear power. The have started building renewable plants rather than updating the nuclear plants. Electricity cannot be stored in the amounts that we use it. So many statistics about wind/solar quote power act like we can use it all... but an installation battery that could store a country like France's worth of energy for 12 hours (solar never works at night) would be the biggest megastructure humans have built*. During a period of high pressure a whole country might get little wind for a week. Also, check out this map if you visit regularly the low carbon energy solutions are nuclear or hydro... the only countries that reliably don't burn fossil fuels use these. [edit: clarity, *edit: Not quite-about 100mx100mx50m, approximately the same size as the Great Pyramid of Giza, but made of flammable material - I got confused with something that could provide a week or two for windless anticyclones]

Nobody uses cinnamon? Honestly - I really like using cinnamon with Debian. I heard that they promised not to fuck with the UI for no reason unlike... everyone! @Mwa Cinnamon is a fairly nice, easy to use desktop - I don't really care which is better, but if they change it, you have to re-learn it. Top tip for UI design - don't think that your users want to re-learn how to interact with your UI - they might go outside, or elsewhere.
