A plumber who avoided paying almost 160,000 of tax and National Insurance contributions over 15 years has been jailed.

Kevin Lay, who was charged with two counts of cheating the public revenue of 158,289, was jailed for two years at Reading Crown Court yesterday (Thursday).

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) officers told the court the plumber, of Bouldish Farm Road, Ascot, failed to submit Self Assessment returns or complete VAT returns since setting up his plumbing and maintenance business in 1997.

The court heard the 49-year-old also ignored an HMRC initiative to disclose the unpaid tax he owed.

John Cooper, Assistant Director Criminal Investigation for HMRC, said: In 2011, HMRC ran a campaign giving plumbers like Kevin Lay the opportunity to disclose any unpaid tax they owed.

"He chose not to take this opportunity, and instead found himself subject to criminal proceedings.

During the sentencing Her Honour Judge Morris said: "This was not a sophisticated fraud, but fraudulent from the outset.

"You knew you should have paid tax but persistently avoided doing so.

"Such a fraudulent enterprise over such a long period of time must expect an immediate custodial sentence because the impact on the public purse is significant."

Lay admitted two counts of cheating the public revenue at an earlier hearing. He was sentenced for two years for each count to run concurrently.

Q: We have a good-size bathroom/laundry room off our kitchen and it gets used more than any other bathroom in our home. We have decided to remodel that room, complete with new plumbing. With three children running in and out, we would also like to install a home water fountain in this bathroom. Is that a good idea, and can you please give us some information on home-water-fountain installations? Bruce, Ohio

A: Generally, a simple wall-hung china water fountain that matches the sink and toilet should fit the bill. Your plumber can rough the fountain drain line and a cold-water line inside the wall, then install the unit according to local codes.

For busy households, a water fountain can eliminate the mess of extra cups and reduce congestion at the sink. Plus, kids seem to love drinking out of a home water fountain.

A home drinking fountain can be a very good idea, but keep a few things in mind: White is usually the standard color. If youre thinking of another color, it most likely will have to be special-ordered. Also, kids do grow up. So, before you make the sizable investment in a home water fountain, think about long-term use and if will be worth the money.

In addition, it is a fixture that should get frequent cleaning. After all, you dont want family members and guests to feel like theyre using a public restroom!

Plumber: Drink up the benefits of a home water fountain

(PRWEB UK) 28 June 2013

The Buckinghamshire Examiner reported on June 10 in the article Narrow Escape for Gassed Family, that a family of two children and two adults were treated for carbon monoxide poisoning caused by a gas leak in their home. The emergency services, including a fire crew and paramedics, were called to their home as it was thought the gas leak was due to a faulty boiler.

James Keating-Wilkes, from South Bucks Ambulance Service, told the Buckinghamshire Examiner that:

The paramedics called the GP and checked the patients who were suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning due to a faulty boiler. A gas man had been out to look at the boiler, and fire crews ventilated the property.

Renowned for their Lewisham emergency plumbers, Plumber 24 Hours provide qualified plumbers, electricians and oil engineers among other services. The company also specialise in gas safety and, concerned with this recent news story, a spokesperson offered advice on gas safety:

This recent case of carbon monoxide poisoning highlights the importance of having a carbon monoxide alarm installed in your home. The alarm can detect even the smallest amounts of carbon monoxide allowing you to take the appropriate action.

However, a carbon monoxide alarm is no substitute for having all gas appliances regularly checked and maintained by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. This will help ensure that all appliances are working correctly and reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Being aware of the symptoms could also further help to reduce the risk of serious carbon monoxide poisoning. If you notice symptoms such as nausea, headaches and dizziness when you are at home, this could signal a warning sign.

Foxes to be seen as menace to humans

Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has asked London City Councils to focus on their duties for pest control.

His call on City Councils comes after Lola and Isabella Koupparis, whose mother hails from Northern Ireland, were mauled by an urban fox who crept into their bedroom.

The nine-month-old twins are continuing to receive treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Lola suffered facial injuries and both babies had puncture marks and lacerations to their arms. Both have undergone surgery for their injuries.

Johnson said that foxes must be considered a menace due to the fact that in rare circumstances like this they can be a threat to humans. He said Therefore, its right that boroughs should focus on their duties for pest control because as romantic and cuddly as a fox is, it is also a pest.

The Irish baby girls were found in their crib covered in blood in their home in Hackney. Their parents attempted to scare the animals off the children but they animals seemed unfazed by their presence.
