Having become passably affluent by 'going freelance' at the earliest opportunity I one day found myself (together with late wife) in the Cayman Islands where the natives were (and still are) friendly and the tax system is the most civilised in the world.
I thought I was going to build a house and take it easy; that was nearly 40 years ago and the house isn't finished yet!
I have worked at the power-plant; repaired TVs, VCRs, and all kinds of domestic appliances; been chief engineer of a hotel; built an old people's home; gone into politics; and now run a cable-TV system. A couple of months ago someone said 'we need to talk about succession-planning; what will we do when you fall off a tower or just decide to stop working?'
That's as far as it went so when my contributions to these hallowed halls stop, you'll know it happened.
