No not at all I know my mate does declare it but am afraid I would not take it these days unless it was going in my pocket the banks charge for putting cash in and it would make me cry a lot !!!!!

If I get paid cash then I pay bills with it. I wont pay it in the bank at 30 pence per hundred plus whatever it is these days to dare and go in the bank.

Just for the record......i put cash though the books because i take cash like every other trader on the planet and the tax man knows that.
Custard is not a defamatory description as i would welcome that over the usual description of a$$hole when i walk into my local Williams branch.....or oi oi....the circus is in town....do i get offended?....not a chance......i've been offended by professionals. I suppose the only way to see it is don't use a word to describe someone if you would be offended by the same description........simples.

That is why I have never had a store loyalty card as a lot do not realise that HMRC has acces to them so when the wife is spending £200 a week on shopping but you are only showing that she has £50 a week for shopping ? I do love a tax investigation they are great fun but you do need to get up early in the morning to beat them and they really hate it when you have an answer for everything they throw at you ? Makes them even more determined to get you ,which is when they make the mistake of getting personal and find themselves in deeper doo doo than you were in !!!!!
Probably also why I seem to have so many birthdays as never put any real personal information on anything including utility bills and certainly all online stuff !

I like custard.

Not at all have been in the trade too long to bother !
Went through the recession in the early 90`s when even the merchants were all on stop so I learnt how to play the game big time !
When you have wages to pay and guys with families to feed what do you do ?
We all learnt to lay them off for a few weeks and pay cash !

am i going mad or did thid start with you saying you shouldnt mention keeping cash as the tax man is watching and now your admitting to paying cash fraudulently?

 

[basildog]

I am not in business ! Even the tax man can do nothing after 6 years and as I am taliking about 25 years ago I do not think I will be losing any sleep !

........................... In Germany, it's against the law to mow your lawn on a Sunday.

But probably OK to mow naked !

we all use custard as a bit of fun, but it is actually a bit derogatory.

the inference being that like custard, the customer is usually a bit thick. it is also a portmanteau word made up of (cust)omer and take your pick here..... (re)tard or (bas)tard or indeed any tard you can think of.

consider yourselves enlightened

Really? I always thought it was just a playful abbreviation of customer. I stand corrected...
