Mr G is kindly covering one of mine from SW1 to Brum tonight but i sense we may have a problem with HMRC if he invoices me the way he proposed by text

I offered him a price which included the con charge, and he came back with a price that was less than mine BUT added a chicken bucket on top.

Although both prices are the same i'm not sure where we are when it comes to the VAT and HMRC on this one

If he'd just given me a price and within that price he'd included the scoffing of a KFC then fair do's, but to itemise his quote is potentially causing me grief.

I just hope he doesn't have a packet of jaffa cakes for pudding

Will you behave yourself! I'm still laughing at the reference to the afflicted gentleman in the funeral procession, I feel really bad now 'cos my mum told me that I shouldn't mock the afflicted!

Well my mum was talking to someone about a particularly ugly person on telly, and her friend in their defence was arguing that they couldn't help the way they looked, to which my mother replied "they could always stay in"

Mind you she also said "if i'm ever feeling energetic i just lie down until the feeling goes away"

Dont worry i couldn't eat the 8 piece bucket as i had a couple of ginsters at lunchtime.

I will just invoice for a classic 2 piece with fries and cola

Well that really confuses the issue, were they hot or just cooling down?
