To the tax men. Please note, as I have just completed my tax return, a little late, but, better late than never, this post is anonymous. Should you discover the name of the blogger pleas substitute any other civil servant in place of all mentions of the tax man.
At the end of the tax year, the Tax Office sent an inspector to audit the
