All work and no play makes Jack very dull boy can be traced to James Howell wrote in his books Proverbs in English, Italian, French and Spanish. This seemingly is the first usage of the age old proverb in the form we all know and love. Why is it important? Well it looks like Jack may end up being a very dull boy as Play.com, one of pioneers of online shopping, shuts down its retail business after changes to VAT loophole.
Recent seething over tax loopholes have led theCoalition government to act upon public anger and sort out this loophole malarkey. However the Play.com marketplace will stay in tact even though, I'm sure no one actually uses it.
