A tax inspector huh? Don't get too many people openly admitting to that!
Hope you stick around ^_^
One of my closest friends used to be a tax collector. But when she'd tell people she'd hastily mention that she was the collector, not the inspector. It wasn't up to her how people got taxed.
And then she got promotion as a tax inspector and decided to stop telling people anything altogether.

Welcome. What kind of dog? I spent 33 years with the IRS on this side of the pond. Scarred me for life.

I may post my views on Brexit on one of the Brexit threads at some stage, but there is a lot of hate there at the moment, from all sides, and I just can't be arsed with that at the moment (I'm getting it enough in my real life at the mo).
Roger that!
That was exactly my reaction when Beccs showed us her most recent photo.

I can understand why, and I've tried it, but I am a truly terrible liar and I'm sure that my evasive answers just make people think I must be a drug dealer or something equally dodgy. So as I always fessed up in the end, I just started to 'come out' from the start. On the plus side, it's quite the conversation stopper if you're ever desperate to shut someone up.
