    So far I have 4 replies to the letter I sent to the trustees. Two were very brief acknowledgements of receipt of my letter and 2 were more considered and thoughtful replies and did serve to remind me that the plc is not whiter than white all of the time.

    Have to agree once HMRC get's it's claws into you then they don't tend to let go. It's also amazing how small an organisation they will take interest in. Something to do with the grade structure I suspect.

    Yes; like the police they go for the low hanging fruit. HMRC prefer cosy deals with the big boys who are not as easy to bully.

    I'd go bananas if a pear of those guys druped by. They've got a plum job and life is peachy for them currantly. That's no raisin to upset the apple cart...

    It is interesting to note that the West Somerset Free Press today carries a story about last week's WSRA AGM ending with a mass walk out. Typically the Chairman was asked to comment but failed to respond. I hope that the resumed AGM will make the Trustees realise that ostrich mode is no longer acceptable.

    Perhaps someone could scan or transcribe the article? I understand it is quite short. (I would but I am on the train to London.)

    Kind regards
