Re: Time was...
Back in the late 80s my next door neighbour ran a cleaning company. I cant remember the exact details but the government started subsidised low wages with benefits so he was able to rip off his workers and the clients and the government simultaneously. He became very rich very quickly and died when he upgraded his car too quickly. He seemed a decent bloke but was caught like a kid let lose in a candy store. I had many a drink with him and he was always of the opinion that if he didnt do it someone else would but he did feel a line had been crossed.
