i am meant to be working sat at my laptop but this came into my head, wondered if you thought it was odd - was in the post office on friday posting a load of ebay sold items - they know me well in there as i do bulk listings once every few months, anyway, oddly enough the male workers are a friendly bunch whilst the women are all pretty scary, everyone i know who goes in there thinks this - one of them serving me was vaguely chatty, asked me what all the items were i was posting, i explained i was a dealer and that other than a mkt stall i ran i also sold specific things on ebay - she seemed interested in this but not in a smiley friendly chatty way, ie as if she was thinking of doing ebay but more in a serious way, then she asked me if i was paying tax which ithought was a bloody nosey thing to ask. as it so happens i have a clear conscience and declare all my money, i am registered as self employed and pay my ni etc but what business is it of hers, just thought it was an odd question. alot of dealers i know don't declare their earnings and if she had asked them they would probably have been bricking it as paranoid although i don't think she believed me when i told her i did.
