  And your point is Sid?
  
  Pointing out reality, saying where someone is going wrong and advising them how to proceed in a way to improve things is not gloating, it is being honest, whether it is in respect of a person or an individual. They pay me a fee to be honest with them.
  
  If I was to recommend my clients to act in the manner of the Government I would be in serious trouble with the regulators, quite rightly so.

  Scottie- I so concur!!
  
  Tomorrow i send out invoices - or do I do it monday. Anyway according to the govt notice I have received I have to account for all work done for the last month at 17.5% - OR - if I invoice on Monday then I can apportion the last 14 days at 15%! That will take some hours and that will really make my return next quarter quite complicated. - let alone that when we do year end the complication is as bad.
  
  Then reverse that all in 18 months. Accountants heaven!
  
  In National Government is some poor Humphrey trying to make up rules to make a Ministers decision work - Just like HIPS they dont appreciate the practicalities - or just dont care.

  It won't be the first time Ministers fail to understand the consequences of their good intentions..........

  Bern - That is the story of Gordon Brown's life, as Chancellor and PM. I dont doubt that most (not all) of his intentions were good but good intentions are simply not good enough in Chancellor or PM. They need a dose of good judgement, good sense and good luck as well - all of which Brown is totally lacking.

  When the BullyMore Club [that included Cameron and Osborne at one time] went out smashing up restaurants etc did they have any good intentions? Didnt they throw cheques at their victims?

  Just bought a digital camera for my wife in Dixons in town and received my £2.13 reduction on the original price. I am going to add 37p and treat myself to a pint this afternoon. It's not all doom and gloom!
  
  Cheers Gordon!

  So there is some light at the end of the tunnel, Dixons new slogan will now be 'Buy her indoors a digital camera and have a pint on us
