I realise this was probably a flippant quip, but just remember - if you 
were to do this, you would also then need to fully comply with the data 
retention legislation for those who "visit your house", along with getting 
all their details (and retaining them on file); comply with the privacy 
legislation; join the TIO; complete returns and compliance attestations 
with comcom, and with countless other acts, laws and requirements.
