Dear Cunliffe,
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy".
You are absolutely correct, but fortunately my name is Les, not Jack, and in my case, "Les means More", and "More means Les."
Consequently, "All Shirk and no Pay makes Tax a Fool Ploy."
Don �t forget, "Every Jack has his Jill", (but that doesn �t apply to me, for three reasons).
1) Because I �m strictly teetotal.
2) Because in the motor industry, "Every Jack has his Wheel."
3) Because I �ve suffered from amnesia since as far back as I can remember.
4) And thirdly, because the proverb actually is, "Every Leslie has his Audrey".
However, due to a farrago of fluid phonetic factors: including Reform School Spelling introduced by William Caxton; because the first Oxford English Dictionary was printed in Cambridge, (and vice versa); and as the Italian word �Bimbo � should refer to a man, NOT a woman, the original proverb, "Every Leslie has his Audrey", has been totally transmogrified into, "Every Jack has his Jill."
I care for my wife, Audrey, because she isn �t very well, and needs constant attention.
But misfortune struck last week. Thieves stole her Credit Card!
Fortunately, it has turned out well, and I haven �t informed the Police. Why?
I �ve noticed that the thieves are spending much less money than my wife usually spends.
"Every Cloud has a Silver Lining!"
Les
