Self Assessment

Further on in the same booklet there was the first indication of stress. First, a picture of him threatening a car driver with his brolly, and on the final page on a desert Island, now sporting sunglasses, obviously desperate to get away from it all.
But the cartoons that really set me wondering were those in which, suddenly and without even a warning, frilly knickers appeared. There he is displaying his underwear, and despite his masculine moustache, bowler and brolly it is exceedingly feminine.
The next one I saw had him really daring in a tutu! This was it, the Inland Revenue were going tranny!
I began to visualise the new feminine Inland Revenue and forlornly hoped we might be allowed tax deductions in the future for our secretly acquired attire. But we all know they want proof for everything.
Would this mean, in the future we might have to strut our femininity at the tax office? Would the forbidding corridors of a tax office ring to the click of heels and the squeals of "girls" as they attended their annual proof of what they had bought?
Pure fantasy, I know, but why has Hector (or is it Hatty, or Hectorina or Hetty?) suddenly come out of the closet?
Has he been assessing his appearance of rolled umbrella, moustache and pin-striped suit and decided he prefers a softer, more feminine image?
Closet
Who else will come out? Are we likely to see any politicians, clergy or perhaps footballers come out of the closet? We've already seen it in the entainment world with Eddy Izzard et al, and the clergy are unlikely, they dress up all the time, particularly the most senior ones.
A prime minister in drag? Or perhaps a drag day at the House, with the government and opposition competing to wear the most outrageous costumes.
Are we likely to see the first premiership players resplendent in stockings, suspenders and high heels, in the near future? Certainly some players wouldn't need to change their hairstyles!
What a dream world it would be if everyone followed Hector's example. We would only be following fashion by obeying our inner instincts. No more problems with wives, fellow workers or the like.
You can imagine nudging a neighbour, can't you and saying, "Look at that bloke over there. He's wearing trousers, suit and tie. Is he a pervert or something?"
