Heh.

Try a few of these, laws currently still valid here in the UK.

You are right about the Tax Avoidance stuff Fekin.

Just to flesh out that bit, it is also against the law for an accountant/solicitor not to report to the authorities someone that he/she suspects are avoiding/evading tax by hiding or not declaring income! Punishment for the accountant/solicitor is a prison sentance!?! WTF!:furious3:

YOU HAVE ALL BEEN DULY WARNED.:grin:

Grumpy
