    Its time to smell the coffee

    Vision 25 - just been reading your blog. You ARE Alan Partridge and I claim my (tax free) £5 ;) Nice to find out that Obama is 'half-cast' and not 'black'. "It takes a worried man, to sing a worried song......"

    Its time to smell the coffee

    So by pointing out that you didn't answer my question, I've made myself look an idiot ? Hmmm ? Weird logic. You might as well have posted up the Communist Manifesto and said "this is what the tories could do". I'm asking what they WILL do, not what they could.

    Errors in my accounts,how to.....

    Hi there, An Accrual is a current liability. An accrual is basically accounting for an expense before you have had the bill (apologies if you knew that, but not too sure from your post)
