On the claiming stuff.

Was at lunch yesterday. We often get visitors from our overseas suppliers (Clovis Taittinger, for instance) who come out to see how we're going. One of our contacts for them took them to the strippers and claimed it all back on expenses through the business.

The business signed off on it, citing it as a legitimate 'entertainment' expense.

A friend then one upped that by saying Citibank (I think it was) has a person who entertains clients and recently spent $6k on strippers.

I was a little horrified, if I must say.

It's okay Drew, you don't need to go to the strippers if you don't want. But if you do go and get up close and crazy, remember to leave some room for Jesus...

What the hell.

When did the short form of methylated spirits get filtered to alcohol?
Click to expand...

Methylated spirit is alcohol (ethanol), with a bit of methanol added to make it taste shite and not suitable to drink. I wonder does it change the word method, as in Filter and the Crystal Method?

Edit: nope, just alcohol.

Edit edit: so it can be picky, just isn't with Smerkinhorpe United.

Travel and Entertainment. Certain expenses (Note, not all) are tax deductible through work. The policy is a lot stricter than it used to be, but in America, it's looser and generally they allowed certain expenses to "entertain" clients and "travel" expenses.

I know it happens, I just didn't think we did it.

I also don't know how it makes the client feel 'worthwhile'.

Pretty simple really. Keeps the client happy, they feel more comfortable making dealing and proceedings with you. Has worked for my dad's business in the past. Without going into detail.
