This is why so many old British houses look like they’re constantly squinting at you.
People also bricked up their windows in response to avoid the tax.
Hold on. Are you telling me, if you tax something, you get less of it?
“Oh, windows!…. I don’t know if I can afford this place”
This is what you get when you invite the Dutch to invade you… Taxes, taxes and then more taxes. 😜
