[GNC] Fwd: Accounts for UK Vat need updating since the UK left the European Union

[David T.]

Presumably,  Dr. Kirby will still have transactions in those accounts, in which case hiding the accounts and making them placeholders would be the proper approach. 

As for the template, Frank's advice is appropriate. I believe his warning about being sure is sarcastic; regardless, the template should be changed to reflect the world as it is, so changing is in order. 

As I have never used the templates, I'm not sure what those changes would look like, but the changes could be as simple as removing the lines in question (139-149, for example?)  from the source file.
