The—Lot!
The Minister of Finance 'Mr Nash) was not as “tough” as sometimes thought, said his colleague, Mr Semple, to power supply authorities, referring to approaches made to Mr Nash on the question of sales tax on electrical equipment. Mr Nash was certainly not as bad as a certain old Irishman had thought, said Mr Semple. Just before the Irishman died, he asked to be cremated. “And where will I scatter your ashes, dear?” asked his wife. “Don’t scatter them,” said the dying man. “Just put them in an envelope and send it to Mr Nash. Write on it: ‘Now you’ve got the lot’.”
