'I've done everything right

“I know, cash-in-hand, Everything Goes directly in The Bank . I have all The Evidence you would need for what I deserve," he says. But, because he is only trading for eight months, he can't get no more support.

“I went this way because I thought if I was on my own, I can be a regular source of income and I don't have to worry about the redundancy again. I feel like I tried to do everything The Right way. I have financed everything myself. Now I think, why do I bother?"

He is online now, for all the work he can find, in the construction or in the delivery, maybe in The Next town, anywhere, that can give him the paid work.

“I just need to have money in The House and put the food on The Table for The Wife and the Children . "

Vicki Crocker has for the dowry, a Bridal wear shop in Swindon, but wedding dresses are waiting to sit on it, to be collected and no new customers come through The Door for some time.

“I try to be stoic and British about it, but it irritated me that those who benefit from the cash-in-hand payments, because, they say, their profits were Under £50k, if we don't know what they were. "
