Danny, I am talking about 86 onwards when I went to non Public desk at Brampton post Mt Pleasant. ISTR VAT turnover limit then was £20,500-and there were coffee bars, St Athan was one such station where crew room coffee bars were turning over £30k. Strike Command had a couple of stations where reclaim of unpaid VAT all but wiped out the SIF. I discovered a fraud at one station in my first day as OC Admin only because I noticed a football club turning over in excess of the VAT limit but unregistered, and a black hole came to light. As I said to my stn cdr, I was glad it was on my first day in post and not my last. President of the Audit Boards was a bit tee'd off though.
