You buy something and get a receipt.
For some items you probably discard the receipt very quickly – smaller items where you consume it quickly restaurant bills, train tickets, petrol purchases.
But for any larger items keeping the receipt becomes more important – car, washing machine, holiday, camera, clothes, in fact anything where you might one day need to prove you bought it because you need to make a claim for poor service or quality.
Now just where do you keep those receipts? It might be years until you need them during which time you might have moved house so where’s a good place to keep them?
Pity the poor guy who lost his receipt through a house fire. It was possibly worth £235million for a diamond he bought. Read about him here. http://tiny.cc/pedob
And how many things do we all have where having the receipt has made all the difference? Perhaps not as big as £235m but signficant all the same!
