Wages paid into the bank would be the same as being paid in cash is what people were told.  i.e. the value would be the same.   Does this mean that these employers can now be sued for in appropriate marketing?  I'll test this next time I get cold calls from people saying I was wrongly sold insurance for a loan I took out.... I have only ever once had a loan for anything... a student loan which I paid back over 5 years out of the child benefit.  (I am excluding the mortgage (deadweight  fr) as I have always seen this as an investment rather than a liability.)

I assumed that the scrap metal and tarmac business was cash only.  ;)
