# Thankyou, the voice of reason
an old lady I have known for years called me a 'parasite' when she found out what I did for a living.

An old couple on a plane told me "oh, we dont like accountants" and blanked me.

If thats what people think I may as well join PriceWaterhouseCoopers and charge people £250 an hour, as opposed to very low pre-agreed fixed fees.

# that's harsh poor you.
I don't have a problem with accountants. I have a friend who's an accountant so that proves I don't have a problem with them.

Well, a business analyst for them. Same thing really.

# She must thrive on stress (whereas I curl up in a ball)
Tax accountants get the worst of it, the irony being is that they do their best to save the client money.

# I'd hate to have to deal with the IR on a daily basis.
As it is I have to pretend to be them on a daily basis though (people come to us for tax advice in re to childcare and stuff because the IR are no help at all)
