... My replies, on the other hand, are intended to warn others of Evans's criminal conviction, malicious character and activities. And your malicious, unnecessary, gratuitous, false, and somewhat infantile remarks about this being an ex-council house and my company failing are evidence to support your claim? Hardly. They are evidence of your own nastiness. This is not an ex-council house, but there is an interesting (to some!) story there. In 1955, if you bought a new house, it was subject to some form of purchase tax, but if you had a house made to your own specification, then no such tax applied When this row of houses was being built, each of the prospective purchasers was able to specify some part of it, such as bay windows or not, or whether the back door was on the side or the rear wall, and thus avoided the purchase tax. My company did not fail, for, when it was shut down, it was fully solvent and owed no money to anyone. I shut it down because the only contract work being offered at that time was the mis-named defence work, and as a pacifist, I have no wish to be involved in the killing of any of my fellow men. Since becoming a retired company officer, and living off my life savings, I was head-hunted twice by a local software house, but on the basis that they would employ me as a short-term permie so I'd not be bothered by all the admin of self-employment. Unfortunately, I had to terminate the last contract prematurely because the company took on "defence" work and so I reverted to living off my savings in comfortable retirement. |
