Or is there some clever tax dodge that you can do if you keep receipts? Or is he wanting to make sure you can take all the stuff back and get a refund if you fall on hard times?

Better still ask in the shop if they have any old sale bags and place items in it, thus leading people to assume (their fault remember, assume makes an ass etc etc) that you went sale shopping.

I have a friend who used to live in Oakley street & I loved visiting her and getting my King's rd fix. <BR/>Can't believe that's what towing fines are now in London. That's eye watering. Here you just park on the pavement, double park, park in front of driveways (I don't, but people do) Anything goes, which isn't much fun either. Speaking of expensive & your possible move to Russia,; did you see that news report about posh 'imported goods' supermkts in Moscow, where a punnet of strawberries was £30! The reporter interviewed a few Russians, who were saying 'well I'm not going to let the credit crunch change my shopping habits' (as they pick up 2 punnets of strawberries for supper....) Others who said 'well it hasn't affected me yet'.Paradise Lost In Translationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507703496080523959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-20457270519851348332008-10-31T22:29:00.000+00:002008-10-31T22:29:00.000+00:00I hate that suspended bay thing.
