It’s for tax reasons, honestly!
As from 1 April (hope that date is not inauspicious), R. and I will be partners in a slightly more official sense - yes, that’s the day on which we become “Clarke and Houston Language Services”! Bunting will be out across the nation, possibly …
The meeting went well yesterday, in that we managed to struggle through a snowstorm and so did our intrepid accountant. The man looks like he’s wearing a toupee (sadly, he isn’t) and has teeth which arrive in the room a good four minutes before he does, but apparently last year, on 31 January, a client of his had come sneaking into the office at 4.30pm, asking that his tax return be completed and filed. On 31 January at 4.30pm, let me repeat. Bloody hell, and I though I was dilatory on these matters …!
Not to be daunted, our fearless financial whizzkid did indeed complete his client’s tax return.
And went to the local tax office.
At 4.30am.
And climbed a wall in order to post it through their door …
So I figure that, provided we can keep a straight face about his wonky teeth, we should all get along famously.
Next week we’re seeing a lawyer to draw up the partnership agreement - watch this space!

Claws in, girlie, you and R. might well be the Brad and Angelina of Dunoon, but leave your accountant’s dental work alone!
Or you might find him syphoning your income straight to that nice Mexican dentist who did such a good job on Jill…

No, really though - we are talking Ken Dodd teeth here! He’s very nice though …
