Had a taxi driver phone me up 2 years ago (around the 20th January) asking if I could do his books and tax return.
Yes, I said but you will need to get them to me asap.
Well 28th Jan he bought a shoe box round full of bits of paper - litterally a shoe box!
Managed to get it done, he came to sign the return on 31st so I could file it online.
I gave him the bill (only £400) and he said to me "Can I pay you by DD over 10 months?"
"Sure" I replied.
I then said, "can you take me to Scotland tomorrow, wait and bring me back? Oh and can I pay you by DD over 10 months?"
"Oh like that is it? I suppose you want paying in full then?" He replies
Nod from me.
Had to laugh, watching his face light up at the prospect of a Scotland wait and return job - then watching it drop as he twigged what I was really saying.
He is still a client and now pays every year no problem.
