makes more sense when you think of 'magazine' as a thing that contains things - bullets, articles, goods (seen shops round my way called magazin romanesc), etc

the polish language kbin instance was called karab.in (think carbine as in rifle) so magazine makes sense in that context too

Sir Laurie said she did get legal advice when buying the property, but failed to seek further expert tax advice as recommended.

i know this was all gone over at the time but fuck me. the excuse for dodging stamp duty was that her house was held in a trust fund for her kid who was 17 at the time

five minutes or so on the gov.uk stamp duty website gets you:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/stamp-duty-land-tax-buying-an-additional-residential-property

higher rates apply to [...] any residential property that [...] is owned on behalf of children under the age of 18 (parents are treated as the owners even if the property is held through a trust and they are not the trustees)

this counts as expert tax advice apparently

i like this comic so nothing against it in particular (lots of them do it), but it always seems a bit of a shame when a comic has nice art but uses a horrible clashing font for the speech bubbles
