Chelmsford man holds referendum on paying his bills this month
Paul Willis of
Chelmsford has taken the unusual step of opting out his financial
responsibilities while at the same time demanding that his neighbours continue
to send him food parcels and mow his lawn. Inspired by the Greek people, the
66-year-old hairdresser took a detailed poll of all those living at his address,
including the cat, and received a unanimous mandate to stop paying his mortgage,
tipping waiters or funding future Christmas presents. News

‘I have taken a democratic decision to ignore my existing debts and I
would ask my creditors to respect that,’ Willis told the Chelmsford Reporter.
‘To begin with I was a little unsure, but choosing not to pay has been a great
weight off my shoulders. And to those I owe money to I would say, please keep
putting things on my tab, I’ll settle up eventually –
honest.’ News Biscuit.
