and yes, I do keep these type of receipts for at least 2 years.

Only two years? IIRC if HMR&C decided to have a good look at your accounts
(even as a employee on PAYE) they would expect to find records going back
6 years...

Some hope. Most employees on PAYE who have very straightforward tax affairs,
will never have been told about the record keeping requirement for
individuals, indeed they'll be lucky to even get a notice of coding if
nothing changes year on year. OTOH any number of people will have taken all
those identity theft warnings to heart and will be busy shredding everything
they get, and then the banks are also encouraging their customers not to
bother with hard copy statements...
