The British Club in Qatar

A hotel manager accused of sexually harassing a British tourist who jumped from a hotel balcony to escape has appeared in court in Agra.

A lawyer acting for hotel manager Sachin Chauhan said his client denied the charge and he had been trying to wake the woman up because she had asked for an early morning call.

The 31-year-old British woman was injured after jumping on Tuesday.

She is set to give a statement in court later.

Initial reports suggested the woman told police she asked for a wake-up call at 04:00 local time and was offered a massage by the hotel owner when he knocked on her door.

She said the man would not leave so she locked the door and jumped from her balcony to the level below, injuring her leg, before fleeing the hotel.

I was just wondering what percentage of UK citizens living in Qatar are aware that they will still be liable for UK Inheritance Tax on their worldwide assets IF they maintain any ties to the UK??

I have met a few people who thought that because they were earning tax free and not paying sales tax that they would also not be liable to Inheritance Tax.

Sadly that is not the case; and Inheritance Tax would still be due.

Just wondering who out there did not realise this and thus need to do something about it??

This weekend thousands of people are gathering for Diamond Jubilee celebrations to mark 60 years of Her Majesty the Queen’s reign. People all over Britain are holding street parties, lighting beacons and attending festivals, treasuring our shared heritage and coming together for community events. Thousands will line the streets of London on Tuesday 5 June to watch the Queen travel to Buckingham Palace, after a service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral.

British missions around the world will mark the Diamond Jubilee with a series of events to celebrate the UK’s rich heritage and modern strengths.

Hi, I'm new to Qatar and have come out here on my own so was wondering if there are any evening events or drinks which people go to where we could meet some like minded people?

Hi folks, how about a meet up in March? Sundowners somewhere in the evening on a Thursday? Any suggestions / ideas on where?

The weather is getting better now, so i thought should start our loong drives to far beaches.
I wont name the beach right now because most of you have been there before and i already discussed with few members about it and am avoiding the bloody uninvited QL guests and stalkers.
Trip will be on 12th Nov you all have to be at the meeting point sharp 9:30am. The drive is long so have to reach early to get a good spot. I know some of you will worry about Friday Prayers, you dont need to the mosque is just close there for Friday Prayers. I will send you meeting point and beach location through email. Now get your swimming suits and crab spears to catch crabs.
who ever is interested to join confirm here on this topic. Make sure i dont want any one confirming now and later stepping back.

The Queen has scrapped a Christmas party for her staff because of the "difficult financial circumstances" facing the nation.
