# So she said oh he's alright . # And then he just never went to school and they maintained they'd got a private . # And so she said ,thi this neighbour said well just how nosy can you get ? # You know she said I just said to her oh how's Jimmy sort of thing and she said he's alright . # As far as I know she was living on her own with this little old boy . # He had been to school originally because that's what she said he , then he didn't go to school and that's why she said you know , how is he and she said # That's right . # Well that that was the whole thing . # No he , it was a bit peculiar , I couldn't quite make nothing and they said something about they kept him away from other children or something . # And the chap sort of the head of social services or local government officer , he said well in the nineteen nineties he said it is still possible , if you want to to keep your children away from school . # You know it's it's as possible as it always has been . # But when when they showed you in the house there was just like old cardboard boxes just sort of thrown in the corner and and just sort of paper carrier bags and polythene bags just sort of slung there . # You've never seen nothing like it . # I mean it looked like the house had been derelict for forty years . # But they was living amongst it . # Never seen nothing like it in me life . # And the stench must have been terrible . # How god knows . # What what from my fingertips do you mean ?

# Course it is . # Too true . # Well yeah . # What a useless fairy he was . # He loves Tesco's . # God ! # Well that kid he # that # Did he really ? # God . # Yeah , he # Well Ken he actually worked with . # He went to work with Ken and he he lasted three days . # He didn't li # Well he didn't like working with the meat . # Then he was off sick . # But he was completely er this old boy come down to me so he said that old boy's left . # I said no he isn't I said , he's off sick . # He said I think he's left . # I said I know he hasn't left because I say his his wife works with my wife and he's off sick . # He said well he's bloody useless . # Sorry , I meant meant to say his mother , yeah I said his his mother I said . # I didn't say his wife . # Works with my wife . # So he said well he's bloody useless . # He said erm they sent him down there he said and they said go there , I forget his name this # No I mean this old boy's name . # Mark I think his name is . # Yeah . # So he said they said to him well go with Mark and he'll show you the what to do . # And all he'd gotta do was just put like two different bins , sizes of turkeys , and they just pick them out and there's this thing like a V shaped hook and they just sort of # hook er I don't know what part they hook up there but they just hook it straight on this thing . # And that's all they do all day long . # Just pick them up # and go like that . # But it's if they're tall # if they're tall it's an easy job . # But if they ain't tall and you've gotta reach every time , that's bloody hard work . # Well I know that cos they're heavy old turkeys . # And that's cold in there it's a terrible cold . # Well he was doing this old boy was doing nine to his one . # So I said well how could you do nine to his one ? # He said well he used to go and he'd sort of look up at it , and he'd sort of think about how he was gonna put it in there he said then he'd be going like this then he'd sort of get hold of the other hand he said and he'd put it in like that and these other old boys are going like this with full hands you know ? # He said he's pathetic . # So I said to his boss , like Ken's boss , Tony I said how are you getting on with your counting ? # Cor dear oh dear he said , I know I well know why he's down here doing that . # So I said is he any good at it ? # He said I don't think that boy'd be any good at anything . # So he said I can honestly say he said I think he's one of the worst I've ever had down there . # So Ken said to him I can't understand what a boy like you's doing here Duane . # He told Sue didn't he ? # So , but I , I think he thought Ken meant that he was like superior and he didn't ought to be doing that sort of job . # You know , he ought to be doing better things . # And Les said he'd be sitting here I'd say Duane ooh ooh should I be working he'd say . # He said he was sort of just miles away , sit there he was you know looking out to space and I'd say Duane ooh should I be working he'd say . # Oh dear . # Just a bill for that I R N B thing , whatever . # I'm gonna get it all back , yeah . # Erm what it is it's er # Erm so far this year I've paid nearly , not quite twelve hundred quid . # I should get all of it back . # And then I shouldn't pay tax # I would think # I well see , he's put the books in . # Depending how quick they actually okay them erm I mean for two years , three years now they they've just gone straight through with no queries at all . # That might be my luck this year that'll be the bloody year they give me a query . # But if they go straight through , well then that'll go through to the Spalding tax office . # Then that'll go through to Turners so I mean it could be like a fortnight after they've been okayed . # Yeah . # But then if it goes on # Well I can ring him Monday can't I ? # Yeah . # Yeah you see what I want to do the arrears that I've got with him # and and the erm the bank loan the mortgage would then pay the mortgage I've got . # The new mortgage would pay most of what I am in arrears with him you see so , which would keep him happy . # With the finance bloke . # The one who want the money last week . # Thirty at the end of the day I want a mortgage of about thirty five grand to pay the bank , pay him and also the mortgage that we've already got . # Like that would then pay that off and have another mortgage . # Yeah . # Cos you got what they said was # She says erm # Erm at the moment my mortgage is eighty four . # Yeah . # That's that's my own mortgage . # The bank I pay cos there's two or three different things I have to pay to the bank which they insist if you have a development loan you have to have this and you have to have that and that comes # Yeah it comes to about four hundred and thirty five pound a month . # The the the well the equivalent of the overdraft . # But you see you have an over you have the loan . # But they then insist you take out this insurance so if you're off sick # that's automatically paid . # No . # No . # No . # No that's what I'm say I'll tell you in a minute when I've finished this . # See what he what I pay at the moment is eighty four pound for the house . # And it's about four hundred and about four hundred and twenty , four hundred and thirty pound to the bank . # So I mean you you're talking five hundred pound aren't you ? # Five hundred pound . # Erm but that's not taking into consideration the arrears on the vehicles . # But , the other way if they say yes you can have the mortgage , it works out about three hundred and sixty pound a month . # Then there'll be nothing going to the bank and it also would pay off the arrears on on the vehicles . # So I'm paying like a hundred and twenty pound a month less but it's # That's right . # Yeah . # Yeah . # The amount my ordinary bank charges forgetting any sort of bank loan , nothing like that at all , interest , nothing like that , just bank charges for standing orders to the finance company er are something like sixteen seventeen hundred pound a year . # Well that's what I've said . # Pay it once a month . # Well Les was saying the only thing you've gotta be careful of like when you pay money into a bank when you're in business and you pay money into the bank and the bank then pay your standing orders er and everything's done through a bank , then the tax office sort of tend to think well fair enough you know , he's legit . # But he said when you start paying money just into a building society and then lump sum this and lump sum that they tend to sort of then oh you know , what is actually going on here and they tend to start looking about a bit more . # Well then when they start looking about a bit more , that is when it costs you because anything that Les has to get involved in , cos they go back to Les and say well why did he do this and why did you do that ? # Then it costs you . # Oh yeah but I mean no I I don't mean in general , I mean specific things . # They'll say well why did this cheque do so and so and why did this do so and so and like he said well when you're talking about forty eight pound an hour you don't want me poking round there trying to sort out the tax man # Oh no but I mean it wouldn't be # Oh no no no you ain't you you ain't caught what I mean # Yeah but , no but you think how many yeah but you think how many entries go in my book during the course of a normal year . # So then if suddenly I have about a tenth of them entries . # Exactly . # There ain't the detail that there has been # over the years . # And that's what they wanna know . # Yeah . # Oh no , no I don't , no I don't mean no I don't mean I don't mean the business going here , I mean the things that I pay . # I mean everything I have to detail down down to what payments I make and what costs I have everything is all detailed down isn't it ? # Well then if you're just paying that money into a building society and you're paying , obviously you can't write out as many cheques as what you would normally d do in a bank and have a standing order so therefore it's gotta be paid by cash . # Well that's that's when the tax man starts getting fishy and you've got to know # Well it's just that the cash is ah no , that's what I'm saying . # But they , you gotta have I mean I could say oh I paid erm what shall I say erm off the top of my head , what can I think ? # What I pay . # Well that's a little bit different again . # No well that's what I'm saying . # Yeah but you see that's if it's cash every time , that's when they start wanting to be fishy about it . # And they then say well right , cos every time an accountant does your books at the front of your , the actual like er the booklet what you get on your accounts it says at the front something like these accounts have erm have been audited but only erm we have taken the word of Mr that what he said is right . # I mean they ain't sort of I mean what they could force you to do if they really , I mean they would never do that but what they could force you to do or Les to do would be to check with all those people who I've actually sort of made payments to , to make sure that I have . # So I could write out a cheque saying paid Carl sixty pounds for doing my car . # And I could actually give you , I mean I've all I've got is a cheque stub . # There is nothing what actually says , only when that cheque goes back to the bank , there's nothing anywhere apart from the bank who says that cheque is actually made out to . # I could put on that cheque's to # Well that's what I'm saying . # They Les takes my word for it . # So they in turn take Les's word for it . # But if they wanted to # they could say right # Ah no well that's it . # Well that's what they do , but he was saying , about once every fifteen years that's what they do . # They'll wait till something goes a bit funny in your accounts then they'll say right , we want to do this . # Now if you remember , the the first year # Well no I mean no I mean it's just something they can do . # And they , you know # Well wh the first year we went in business we had that # the very first year we was in business . # And Les said I can't believe this he said , I he said if you'd have been in business ten years that I could understand but he said to do it your first # Yeah ? # Oh yeah . # Oh ! # Oh yeah . # Can't ? # I think ain't I got it ? # Oh . # Oh well I , I didn't realize you'd had a new one . # Oh . # Yeah . # Oh alright mate . # Thankyou . # Money out yeah . # Oh ?

# I said well what you do in your private life it's up to you if you want to get drunk and you want to spend money then that's fine but once you step over that clock tower I said and you start interfering with my work it's a different thing , I said well I've and I've just said nothing because although you ain't worked right , at least you've sort of you've work in this factory sort of in the morning , you've got over it but # there's been disaster tonight ain't gonna put up with it ! # Didn't say anything . # I said you know , I think you've gotta sort yourself out Lee and everybody went sort of quiet but Paul said I've never had a rollocking ! # I said well in all fairness Paul , you ain't actually bloody got , I said I don't do it for the fun of it I said and I don't like doing it but I see , he just sort of # I said well the thing is discipline . # If the transport # I said if the transport get that load of L T M thrown back Robin is gonna get it right in the neck ! # And if Robin gets it in the neck I shall get it in the neck and I shall be getting it in the neck because of you ! # So I said I think # I said I can assure mate , I said I shall make sure there's hell to pay ! # I said but I shall be wrong for not saying anything about you coming to work drunk . # So I said I'll leave you to think about that . # Of course he has he was drinking Saturday afternoon to Saturday night , Sunday afternoon and the Sunday night not Monday night but again last night . # And he went to bed half past two . # Before then I should think , quarter to four . # Yeah . # That's right . # Yeah I said to him Cliff , I think it's tragic mate ! # I said that's none of my business , nothing to do with me but I said I should think it's a tragic waste for you and I say , it wastes your money but that's entirely down to you . # He didn't say a word , no . # Mm I mean , you know when he gave up the drink # he was a different bloke , yeah . # And the trouble is you see they all make laugh of it old Cliff , old Cliff , old Cliff ! # Yeah well I said to him , what you don't realise is Cliff they laugh at you to your face # at the # end of the day when you do something wrong they're the first to nip in that office and say what you've done wrong and why you've done it wrong . # But I think I shall have a quiet word with him tomorrow morning when I get to work . # Yeah . # Well , you know I just can't sort of let it go on . # As soon he gets his mouth round a Guinness bottle mate , that's it ! . # Well it's roughly about five pound and , one pound and I thought he said one pound forty a pint . # Well he got through fifty quid on Saturday and Sunday so that's forty pints innit ? # That's twenty pints each day # No forty pints in two like Saturday afternoon and Saturday night , Sunday afternoon and Sunday night , he got through forty pints or perhaps just under forty pints but that's it . # Well he's always been able to drink like that he's . # Well well I dunno . # But I was the trouble # is # yeah I mean , and the trouble is what n annoys me more than anything is the fact that he's good worker I me even when he's drunk , alright he don't work at full capacity but he does sort of almost as much as what they do and when he's # sober he can do more than they do I mean i that ain't the sort bloke you wanna lose , and I'm , when he balls and shouts at them well he gets on your nerves really but at the end of the day I'll you know , I'll put up with it . # Yeah because he's a , he's a bloody good worker but and when he's like Cor ! # And the other morning disgrace ! # The funny thing is , like there's a beer smell isn't there ? # But he has got the sort of acidy sort of alcohol smell on his breath just like you'd been on spirits all night or whatever , any sort of you know , wine and it's not a beer sort of smell . # But I mean he's I mean Ivan said to me , phworgh , he said when Cliff's breathing over you ! # I said I know I said , just like neat alcohol innit ? # God he said ! # Definitely and he'll say I've got this pain , I've got this pain , I should think you have Cliff ! # Oh it's not that , no it's not . # In his side . # Liver , yeah , exactly . # But you see he's that thick # you can't tell him nothing he would say oh no no no , beer's no problem , beer's no problem no it's not that experience , not that experience , I said well you wanna smell yourself Cliff ! # Cor God ! # it does . # And your guess is that he said er bought something # Yeah he's # No he said er # Chris Ivan said to me , he said Cliff wanted us to go and have a drink he said when we've finished work on a Friday he said last night , I tell you , I said I said no , no I didn't ! # Oh yeah he don't mean that he had a lot of drink , just have a drink and come home . # I said well I hope you enjoy . # I know . # Yeah well yeah . # Mm yeah talking about that now he's out the way basically what he was gonna say was , as simple as this # well it don't matter does it ? # Yeah no he was just saying that head office they'll dictate to them like anybody else so he said I've got to have erm the mortgage up to date for a start before I can consider anything . # Yeah but I haven't that's what he saying , but he said what I wouldn't do is ju , don't just say right phrum there's # there's a thousand pound he said , you know , if you can make it right sort of over the next month but he said basically I cannot do anything until erm the end of February , he said you come in the end of February he said and then we can start to sort it out , he said I can't do anything for you until then . # Who ? # No no point in me well anyway when she # Mm so he said erm , that's the situation he said but you can forget your business he said , as far as I'm concerned he said , you've lost for two years so he said consequently he said you're gonna lose this year are you ? # I said well I wouldn't be surprised . # So he said well all I can say is he said you wanna just forget that erm # Yeah exactly don't get involved at all . # So he said well how do you feel about your business ? # So I said well you know , I can't just wind it up over the next six months , I said er what I wanna do I said is erm I gotta carry it on for that transit for that Orion till I finished anyway so it's gotta go another year so I said well what I'm feeling about doing I said is er just sort of keeping a finger in the pie I said , he said , if I'd said tomorrow , if I had finished the whole the tomorrow I've gotta buy a car I can buy it finance so I'm gonna get no tax relief on the H P I get no depreciation no nothing like that I said so at least if I still self employed I can if I have the sort of two or three vehicles or whatever three , four , five vehicles but I said at least I can have some erm and I can then sort of they would be more utilised , where as I said at the moment we got more vehicles than we really need to keep full capacity so he said yeah , yeah fair enough then . # I said well that's what is , I said if you look at it the depreciation is so heavy compared with the income , and I said and the insurance as well but I said hopefully cos we haven't had any of er any claims at all this year you know , I said I know but all of the insurances of gone up , but I said I'm hoping that we can sort of get the insurance down if possible so he said , yeah fair enough then . # He said well from my point of view anyway at least he said just disregard that completely he said and we will do it on what you earnt , so he said all I can is erm just put in as many hours as you can to get your wages up on that side erm and then by the time we look at that he said , the end of February obviously you'll have December , January and February which will be good months there , I said yeah so he said well then you know erm a hundred pound here and a hundred pound here he said , it all helps to keep the figure up for you so he s # No , but I mean all I can say is basically erm # Yeah . # And he said he's quite prepared to do it , he said , there wouldn't be no problem but he said I cannot do it , he said they are # About thirty three thousand but you see what he said is , head office make the rule and he said and they're not # No . # That's right , he said what # Yeah because he said as soon as they see arrears he said they insist that it's paid up and they insist that you have like three months pay them no problem he said # and then there's no problem . # I said no , but he's # Yeah . # but he's , he give me a a print out , he said well here's your print out look so he said as soon as # Yeah but she'll know she'll know that in fact he'll be seeing her . # Yeah he just said you did say I can have some more money , I said well yeah . # Yeah yeah . # Yeah well what I think I'll do # What ?
