Whining permie managerman wants 'transparency' on contractor costs

[barrydidit]

the Duke of Westminster has 3 or 4 helicopter pilots doing shift work, so that one is always available 24/7 just in case he decides to helicopter off somewhere at any point...

I don't know where I heard this story about the Duke of Westminster, it could have been on here but it's worth an outing anyway. Gotta like the cut of his jib Doubly so if it's true.

Yes he owns much of Cheshire and I have to say he seems to be a bit of a dandy!

IR35 insurance, and a hit man incase we get stuck with paying your deemed employers NI contributions

Don't forget the costs of flying in civets to prepare the coffee beans before your butler grinds them. A fresh batch each day, as you wouldn't want to use a dirty civet.

Your butler grinds the civets ????, isn't that illegal!

You don't own your own moorings?

I don't know - the staff deal with things like that. But probably I don't own all of them.

Oh - another cost. Bribing his manager to approve your purchase order.

Yes. I think we need a second Antonov because this one can't quite get to Tokyo and back in time for the Sunday Wagyu club.

Have we mentioned the Tornado for picking up pasta lunches from Turin?

Hit man sounds like an extravagant waste of laudanum money. Now the twins are out they can sort out most inconveniences within a 10 mile radius of Green Lanes for a ton.

Not yet, but perhaps I´ll ask him for a donation to the chasing the aurora fund.

That's just a matter of who you know. Personally I use little Dave with his baseball bat...
