On any other occasion, I would've used another card. But on this particular occasion as it was for Business. I had no interest in using my personal debit card. That can and routinely does cause Tax issues with the HMRC - I had to explain to them why my expenses on PT were so high (and believe me they are) as they *thought* something was a miss; it was. It's called a refusal of a Driving License on Medical Grounds. A subject covered in depth on this Forum in several places I suspect so I won't revisit it... Even though I just did
Once that was explained they were satisfied. They just couldn't understand why I had so many "Travel Expenses" but I guess it wouldn't have hurt them to look at the Fuel and Vehicular expenses to find them at: nil
As for the mugging. As most of you all know, that recently happened. I was carrying with me in cash the humongous sum of 18 pence. The **** (Choose your own expletive
) was welcome to it, but when asked if I had cash and I said No. He didn't push it and took my other stuff instead, all of which was recovered in about half an hour by the OB. If he'd have tried to get my wallet, the outcome of the whole situation I'm sorry to say would've have been very, very different indeed...........
A part of me still regrets not giving the guy what for... But I received an e-mail from Police Forensics over Christmas who have stated that fingerprints on parts of my property are
not mine. So as I have all the property back and learning that news I can't help but feel rather smug about that...
I'll shut up now I've completely hijacked the thread *thetrout reminds himself not to do that!*
