dont forget to mention the osbourne reciept remark. he says he always ask his window cleaner. gardener etc for a reciept for any work done .and he says alll members of the public should asks for one .
What he for got to mention was any invoice or reciept he has for jobs done or if he buys evan a paper clip .he can claim this money back .you try doing the same ;D

Unfortunately, the media will twist anything you say to them in order to conform to their pre-determined agenda.
If you think of it, please make it clear that cash does not equal fraud; it's just a convenient way for some customers to pay - particularly if they struggle to write a cheque due to something like arthritis, poor eyesight etc.

I do wonder how HMRC would view it if I took my accounts in to them to sort out (as you are allowed to) and gave them a piece of paper for every single job I had done that year.  Multiply that by every window cleaner in the country doing the same - never mind any other tradespeople.  I bet the politicians would soon change their tune.
Personally, I find it very insulting for them to assume that a cash payment automatically equates to a fiddle - and that from the most corrupt vermin in the whole country.  Perhaps these scumbags are judging us by their own standards.

I've never calculated it but I would estimate half online, a quarter by cheque and a quarter cash.

With the odd exception, I don't knock when I finish a house. I just drop a bill. It saves bags of time & I don't have endless conversations about the weather. Most pay online.

No, only to you, because you're the only one who stalks me.  Keep it on topic, Matt, please don't ruin someone's post because you have a childish resentment against me.

Take that as a final warning!  It's just three clicks, mate.
