    Sadly, 'tis true. I love doing cost analysis or budget forecasts, I can use my brain for that but to do auditing is just donkey work that anyone with a piece of paper and half a brain can manage.

      It would be possible to claim a tax relief on a capital investment programme, ie buying a new rope, although recycling rules would have to be enforced on the disposal of the old rope in accordance to EU directives on Rope Untwiddling and Strand Tapering.

      Surely you would have to prove that the old rope had been fully depreciated first?

        Have you never considered a career in the exciting world of auditing? It is the ideal job for young thrusting people who wish to climb quickly up the accountancy stepladder. Apply today and start your career of wandering around other peoples offices and looking at small pieces of paper! I was an auditor for three years (obligatory training for accountants) and found it to be the most boring aspect of my career so far. Don't hang yourself, you will only be assessed as a depreciation of capital asset.

          My dad became an internal auditor with Customs & Excise towards the end of his career. Auditing systems and processes and stuff like that, not accounts. However it instantly turned him into one of the most boring men in the world, something he has been unable to shake off since he retired.

            Of course, you could show them the full depreciation figures, and then the cash received. This is noted in the accounts as "Money for old rope".

                        Don't. I lived with a girl whilst she was studying for her chartered accountancy qualifications. I had to help her with the maths part especially, the materials were really poorly written. Took me a good 5/10 mins to work out and explain their amortisation formula because they'd used groups of letters to represent one value, rather than the more common maths notation so that:

                        y = ab + c

                        could mean y = a * b + c or ab could stand for the "abnoramlly writen value" so the above just the means "abnoramlly writen value" + c I'd have thought for such a numerate profession they would have got this stuff right.

                              Why don't you try and shoot at them? Might make them move office or make your boss make you move office. Either way, you get rid of them.

                                  My guess would be, that you may be capable of do the shooting by yourself... otherwise... nah, forget... just remember
