You don't pay tax?

I think it's a great deal, especially since it's wasted.

There's a lot that I can do with £5k...

Still chicken feed. And the landowning scam has been going on the eons, so
the sums involved are enormous.

"The self inflicted higher land prices within more advanced countries such
as ours, distort our prices of goods such that in order to remain
competitive we have to either continuously devalue our currency or else
abandon entire industries or all the producers who operate at the margins.
(See article by Dominic O'Connell in The Sunday Times [Sun 19 Jan, 2003].

British car parts suppliers swept away....... loss to foreign car parts
makers estimated to be £2B /year) Treasuries here have always fiddled with
subsidies for a range of industries or worse, protection or import tariffs.
But high land prices act like negative subsidies, like VAT they add
additional cost at every stage of manufacture, transport and selling."

All because of an artificial land shortage in a country with land surplus.
See the real big picture.

I would remind you that your pugilistic pal wants to extend the

industry.

I've just come back from Melbourne, where not a day passed without a
TV ad from TPTB reminding viewers that it was illegal for any gas or
water installation work to be done other than by a licensed
tradesman. The same is true of electrics though this was not
mentioned on these particular ads.
