Disposal of paper, GROWLER way.

[Uncle Mort]

We keep general files 7 years after the date of the last correspondence and accounts files 10 years. That's standard business practice. For personal records some things (mortgage documents, bank statements, insurance claims, divorce papers etc I don't throw away, I only keep receipts for large items and then only while I have the item.

[Bar Wench]

I've lost all my bank statements, pay cheques, bills etc. in the tat mountain!

No actually. They are all filed as soon as they arrive in the pretty file then once a year they get transfered to the big ugly files. So 

I pile all my bills, receipts, etc. in a big pile on Mrs. Barman's desk so 

Mr Wench piles them on mine. 

[Nick]

I file all that stuff in a bin liner under my desk.

So you keep all your bank statements for forever?

[Uncle Mort]

Well I don't think I'm going to last forever  but yes, bank statements from 1974 to present. Why 

[Bar Wench]

Because I want to get rid of some of mine. I only have ten years worth and I think they take up too much space.

Post em up here and I'll burn them for you.

Oh, you can't. The posties are on strike....again.

My accountant told me 6.

Tough titty now then if the Inland Revenue want to see them. Everything gets incinerated after 6 years now. I haven't got the room for all this shite.

Why for so long too? I ordered a friend's book to be delivered. Kerist knows when it is going to arrive now.
