Removing that biassing addition, one answer can be: Perhaps to avoid
breaking our backs (and those of our family, etc) as a consequence of a
lack of the services we need as part of being in a society.

You've forgotten that in this world, one thing counts, in the bank large
amounts. I'm afraid these don't grow on trees.

A business like ours, where we go into hospitals, secure units,
children's homes, schools, private houses, and prisons, cannot have even
the slightest suggestion of dishonesty made against it. The prison
service, for instance, will not tolerate any stains on the characters of
contractors. Many other organisation also play safe. They believe there
is no smoke without fire and after all they can soon find another
contractor. For these reasons it is inevitable that small firms like
ours will always use every means at their disposal to put the record
straight.

A simple 'no' would have done. Had no intention of forcing you to write
screeds defending what is obviously your lily white reputation. ;-)

One day last year, I left the house at 7am, drove to Folkestone, crossed
the channel to France, drove to Bruges, spent 3 or 4 hours looking
around, did the return journey, and arrived home at midnight.

Cost me around £150.

During the journey to Bruges, I stopped off to buy a years supply of
tobacco, saving over £1100.

Putting aside the obvious smoking issue, wouldn't I be mad not to do
that?

Tax avoidance needn't be just for the rich.

Of course you'd be better off not smoking at all.

It isn't surprising there are so many foreign fag packets in my hedge.

Tried that, ruined my Wi-Fi, and kept turning the volume up on the TV.

When I see someone rich, both my thumbs start to itch.

However they may be the only people who will be able to afford the
