I well remember VAT being introduced: the CRT of Mum's TV went soft the week before it came in (it was only 4 years old). I found a shop in West London that had a replacement in stock, but couldn't get there until after VAT day. No problem the shop said, we'll just backdate it for you. Saved me 10%.
