When I want psycho-analysis I'll ask an expert, not a pillock on a
newsgroup.

You seem to be confusing me with someone who cares what you think.

So, lets see. You can't win the argument so you've tried changing the
subject, claiming idiotic exemptions to road tax, claimed equally idiotic
pretenses that you do pay tax, insults, name calling - and now "lets see if

It is a bona fide business expense. Its not evading tax at all.
