Image if you owned the local Kwikemart and employed X as your manager.

One day you discover that X has diverted to an account, of which he is the sole beneficiary, the week’s takings.

Would you:

[a] retrieve the money

[b] request that he leave

[c] report the matter to the National Union of Small Shopkeepers

[d] other

Bear in mind though that it’s a tough call and you might want to consult a lawyer.

The man on the Turf Lodge omnibus must wonder what service merits a fee of £7 million to begin with.
