More Sunshine

The plot thickens ... I posted a message on the residents' forum of Down Our Way (what do you mean, your street hasn't got its own website? How ... retro.<g>) One of the regulars says that the company aren't VAT-registered: "I checked with Customs and Excise last year, and they have NOT heard of [evil feudal overlord] - No such registration for VAT exists for them."

Can I check this? How?

Thanks to everyone for sympathies, addresses etc ... it would be easy enough to register a different address (well, not that easy but can be done) but I suspect I'd still have to pay out for retrospective sins: so may as well avoid the bureaucracy (and admin fees) of changing address as well.
