Anyone else worried that the NCA will confiscate 3 of your bikes, Audi A3 and Wood-burner?
I'm always worried I'll receive an Unexplainable Poorness Order- "You earn a not bad salary and your fixed expenditure is tiny, where has all the money gone?" "Bikes and aliexpress" "Impossible, there's thousands missing here, it must be drugs and prostitutes"

I quite often think this, most recently when my colleague bought himself a jag.
Then i remind myself he thinks leasing and credit is basically free.

So true. We live, what I would say, is a pretty simple life, rarely going out to pubs, rarely eating out, shopping at Heron or Aldi, yet I'm always nearly skint, my MTB is 15 yo (but I love it), it may be something to do with a fleet of pedal bikes. kayaks and a motorbike in the garage that all need maintaining , upgrades, clothing etc.
I'm going to stay poor!
I think they're great, it's just a pity they're a nightmare to actually get through the courts.

I'm slightly torn on this. Kind of does away with "innocent until proven guilty", but way too many scumbags seem to get away with paying that game.

I think once they start being self-funded (I.E. they seize more money than they cost) the laws will be made more 'efficient'.
At the moment they only seem to be going after the really high end ones, the multi millionaires with the obvious dubious, but unproved incomes (not the Toffs of course, only the Brown Skinned ones).
It will eventually trickle down to tackle the local drug dealer. I think every town has got that (in)famous local character who lives in a big house in a rough part of town surrounded by high walls and filled with Ranger Rovers. At the moment the Police have to prove criminality in order to investigate them fully, with these they'll be able to investigate their lifestyle.

I'm not. The reasons for my abject poverty will be home from school in about an hour.
Ha. Unexplained Poorness Order would do me some good also. No idea why i am always beanless.

Wait until they start university....😭
I assumed Perchy meant he was married to a teacher.
Reasons. 3 of them.
2 polygamist teachers and a polygamist janny.

Ah ... yep. I recently added a HT but it's black like 2 of our other bikes.
She hasn't noticed yet but might when she realises her dropper disappeared.

They should be. The US shows what happens if you make it easy.

Please film that moment....🤣

We were planning a holiday with a group of friends when one of them said he'd invite his new girlfriend, who he'd said was a few years younger than him, but she'd only be able to come if it was during half term.
Cue some worried looks and then relief when he confirmed she was a teacher and not a pupil!
I'm all for a good bit of money laundering because in my head it must have helped the economy.
If I want to build a great golf course somewhere in Scotland in the middle of nowhere then why shouldn't I? What harm is it doing?

A mate of mine was working on an oil rig, said he was going to call his girlfriend, then said "oh, she won't be back from brownies yet". He had to hurriedly explain that she was a Brown Owl and not a child.
I often/ nearly always think 'htf do other people afford nice cars/holidays etc'. Then I realised many people live on credit, have huge debts, no savings, no pension and so on. I do ask myself if I should be a bit more carefree with money!
Please film that moment….
Could take quite a while ... luckily
You just need to hide it better or open a hand car wash, barbers and tanning salon.
Sometimes you don't need to explain according to the ft
Greensill Capital, which employs the former UK prime minister David Cameroon, has provided tens of millions of pounds of government-guaranteed loans to two companies associated with British steel magnate Sanjeev Gupta that employ just 11 people.

That's me, although I don't have a nice car or go on holidays, I'm definitely doing something wrong :p
Same here, good job, old car, no mortgage, but lots of bikes. But we do have a 20 year old static caravan that gobbles money in ground rent and travel to it, but it's a luxury. Can't flipping use it again though. Wales locked down.
As when these hit the news it's normally reported that the person in question has been living a very public life of wealth with no discernable income for many years, I'm not sure how effective they are at any kind of reasonable coverage.
Didn't they catch this recent chap because he had a security van armed robbery mobster staying rent free in one of his penthouses that he somehow owned out of thin air.
Hardly Sherlock Holmes stuff.

Classic 419.
Pwned.
