I don't know the exact percentages I get paid in, but let's have a guess. I am a sole operator who does mainly domestics. Most of my commercials pay cash. I'd guess cash 90%, cheque 8%, direct to bank 2%. But guess what? I pay tax on it and some of the "holier than thou" posts p*ss me off.

I wish the opposite for me.

I for one would welcome it. On the rare occasion I get given cash it really is inconvenient!

Shouldn't you be busy building poles

No he's a "supplier" he has a manufacturing firm to do that for him.

Dont know about most of you guys, but these days I live from day to day it seems so for example if a custie gives me a tenner for my first job of the day then i find i need deisel for the van, thats where the
tenner goes! on bills and so on.
Dont earn enough to squirrel away, all my money goes back into circulation within a week or so but hey Im getting off my arse and atleast making an effort.
Cash or cheque? cash every time, its easier, it still goes on the books at the end of the day,and you can spend it as you earn it

AINT IT A MAD WORLD....

I did a favour for someone at the weekend, they offered me a tenner.

does this go through the books ... or is it part of the " hidden economy"

one way or another , that tenner will go back into the economy,

so whats hidden about it?.

oh .i know..... its a numbers game..... like all the people who are on the dole not working ...  : : :

now i get it  :

Just spotted this (I was away all day yesterday).  I know why Alex finds cash inconvenient - he has to hand it over to me!  His Thursday round seems to produce the most cash and he definitely lies low until I've done the shop................

Let me stand back and put this into perspective.

The Government, [which is composed of politicians], want to ensure that the rest of society are carrying out their business affairs,  lawfully?

Have I got that right?

Mrs A,

Am I right in thinking you've got a fair number of kids; about five of them?  I could be confusing you and Alex with someone else, but I remember someone saying they'd been to your house and it was like the 'Waltons' (I can't remember who was telling me (David of St Ives maybe?)).

So given your food bill, I'm not suprised that Alex hides.

Alex has to hide - Mrs A wants more kids!
