I hope you have good royalty routing planning in place so that you can afford to buy your British flagged super-yacht 😉

As every good accountant knows …
Yachts are leased/chartered and not bought.
And not many sail under the British flag – for reasons other than tax evasion.
I expect that Richard could “afford” to do a few things – but lounging around on a gin palace is not one of them. If you paid attention to his blog you would know that he is most relaxed down the cafe having a bacon butty!
