I have thought about this long and hard.

It works both ways in the argument.

What is needed is a standard licence for all traders working on or in peoples houses/businesses.

You would have to show a card to each client before you were taken on + you would have to show a badge/sticker on the veh.

The licence would show you were legit in tax and insurance etc.

It would make policeing easier. Nabourhood watch people could report anyone who did not have a sticker/badge on their veh. The card presented on the door would stop dole cheets.

One system for all costing less to police and making the dole cheets etc have to think twice before stepping out.

It would also stop people from being ripped of with bodge jobs from some guy who comes into the area claiming to be this trade or that then ripping people off etc.

Rant over!

At the end of the day what are we all worried about......I think it the tax dodgers.
