When my brother bought his house (UK, built in the early 2000s), we had to buy insurance against the local church needing a new roof. The residents of the area were responsible for local church upkepe because of a medieval edict. It was only about £40 luckily...
- sonthonax 5y agoThat insurance is still a tax, but a really old fashioned one, where private tax farmers collect and administer the treasury rather than the state. That £40 must actually cover the costs of the local church's roof.
- LatteLazy 5y agoAgreed. I'm always impressed by the stickability of these things. No one has said "this is bs, fix your own roof, it's not 1400 anymore".
