X : You have nanny?
Me : For the wee lad, yes. I sent her home just before the lockdown.
X : Are you using the furlough system?
Me : No. I'm paying full salary and not claiming anything back from Government. I am fortunate enough to be able to afford this.
X : Why not claim?

Me : I don't claim because whilst I might be entitled, it would be exploiting the public purse. That is our commonwealth. It's like taxes. I take no action to avoid paying as much as possible.
X : Off shore?
Me : No. It is our duty to pay into the system and not to exploit.

X : You probably don't like financial advisors?
Me : It depends upon what sort. Those helping to exploit systems and "minimise" taxation are ... well ... parasites. I have no time for them.

X : Branson?
Me : Now, you're just trying to wind me up. Branson, Ashley ... oh, there's a long list to which the Gov should show a bit of teeth after the pandemic.
