EXACTLY as he is doing.
Well yes of course, what I was trying to say was that maybe there could be a
way for him to be paid without it being called a business. Along the lines
of Dave Caroline's reply.
By his refusal to accept payment, he makes it
completely clear that it is
NOT a
business, merely a home hobby workshop, for which many
safety-nanny
requirements do not apply.
But, even with that, there is nothing precluding him letting it be known
what
gifts, including gift certificates, he would like to
receive from generous
people
that he helps.
The prosecution LOST a case near here recently against a prostitute who
advertised that she would like "assignations with generous men".
I think that I would far rather trust Tony's judgement rather than the
guvmint
when it comes to decisions of what constitutes
appropriate health and
safety
measures.
