Ah but M'Unlearned friend. Opportunity from adversity. Think of the volvo spare parts you can buy with the interest you received by hanging on.

Don't mention arguing accountants. The last time I had two arguing, it coincided with a tax tribunal. I turned up good as gold, and as I was ushered in, I realised neither of the buggers had turned up........

Interestingly, the chairman sympathised and adjourned it. Six months later, I got a letter from IR saying they agree after all with our return..........

Mind you, turning up without help and grovelling for an adjournment is a bit of a risky strategy, so don't try this at home children.
