I phoned last week asking for more time to pay. Taxman said i only get charged interest on waht is owed and won't get a fine.

I was just trying to make a point without writing a long essay.

I can understand why you may have a different opinion.I did stay in a guest house in Blackpool run by an ex catering corp  NCO and he had portion control down to a very strict art.  

I have spent about 15 days on RAF bases though and the food wasn't that bad. Eat as much as you wanted. Steak, curry, fish etc, etc . It was all free and I was getting paid as well.  Bar open as long as the base commandant wanted, 24 hours in one case. . (This was early 80s)

Anyone due to pay there bill on 31st jan if they wanted they could have paid it over 3 months you have that option with little interest,it was introduced due to the credit crunch.The thing with it is as soon as you`ve paid you`ll only get 1 months grace before the next 1 on account is due.
