If he wants to fiddle with his VAT then that is his decision, I'm not
here to police tax evaders. However, I raised it as a reason to

There are plenty of dodgy doctors about believe me. You'll fit in well.

accused of being paranoid without due cause (there were other non

I'm a fairly perceptive judge of character even though I'm quite young
and obviously come across as a chump!!

I just wish I was more assertive and said "No" to the job when he
found incidental problems with the car while doing some other work on
it.
