Surely a single is, by definition, 1 way?

Oh dear oh dear.

No, I got a 1 way single this morning.

Might be wrong, but the taxi receipt won't have a time on it. Could you not claim there was a problem on the trains and had to get a taxi home tonight? Or trains had stopped running? So therefore normal expense.

Noob!!

You get a fistful of blank receipts off the taxi driver and write a few out for the month (with your wrong hand remembering to use different pens) Contractor 1-0 HMRC...

[FatLazyContractor]

Let the taxi driver ride you.....

Rohypnol?

Chloroform would work better in a sock.


erm..I expect...

That's the spirit - if common sense doesn't work, try tax fraud for the sake of £20 instead

If it's good enough for MP's, then it's good enough for the plebs

[MrMarkyMark]

£55 as it happens.

I found myself in what used to be The Toby Carvery just outside of Street. How I got there, gawd only knows.

Possibly the most plausible post ever from this sockie. In recognition of this great achievement I'm tempted to request this is moved to the professional forums to honour this once in a sockie lifetime achievement.... But I won't.

The problem with professional forums is you are not allowed to call "sockie". And you cannot post either.

Be nice to the cabbie. Last time I was in a London cab the guy gave me a receipt book and a wink.

[MrMarkyMark]

No return, guess you could be in the clear then.

FTFY

My other option is "hanging out" at Days Inn up Gordano services. Probably cheaper, if I manage to turn a few tricks, than a cab home.

[Martin Scroatman]

Get the train back, you lazy oaf

Do you have a paid for travel card, for the return journey?

Do you not have any of your special man friends that live around there?
Could be a win win, for you.

[fuzzypenguin]

Ok so I get the train to work. What if I spend a night on the tiles, get completely trousered & shell out for a taxi to get me home.

Expensable?
