So mild in Exeter this morning, that a single fleece was easily warm
enough. The high street retailers won't be able to use last year's
excuse of snow and bad weather to explain their pretty inexoarble
declime. What will this year's excuse be? Too mild for winter clothes?

Presently very dry and 11.5C. Very pleasant December weather and so
much better than last year, at this time!

No matter the weather I can't think of anything I would less like to do
than go to a High Street shopping, especially this week. I often wonder
if the Government fully takes in to account the amount of shopping on
line, including Ebay and Amazon when they do their health of the economy
blurb. They always seem to think that "High Street sales are down" mean
everyone is on the bread line.

I don't dislike shopping; especially when the wether is fine and
parking is easy - as it was at 8.30 in Exeter. Anyone lazy enough to
be setting off now deserves all they get!
I'd like them to tax goods sold on ebay. That would create a more
level playing field with high street shops. People run businesses on
ebay and pay no tax whatsoever on the profits. Now that annoys me. My
accountant helps a great deal, but I still pay the tax I'm due on the
income I earn. They don't and I don't see why they shouldn't. It's
time ebay made accounts available to the taxman.

Provided your accountant doesn't do what a lot of them do and claim for
a wife as secretary when they are not, heating etc that isn't really
used and various other "fiddles" etc ;-)
