              It's always disappointing when one of your clients opts for self-service.

                Not exactly a restrictive list is it?

                Civil servant - dinner person at the school...? (permanently employed part time)
                Ltd Co director
                "Manager" of a Ltd Co - so the "Manager" of your local Ye olde bun shoppe?
                Member of a trade association - well that limits things!

                Very few ner-do-wells in the above list! Very hard to become one of the approved people eh!

                  Dinner person at school is not a civil servant. But it is a broad list.

                    Civil servant = employed by the council or gov't .. no?

                    State school with non outsourced catering = run by the council / gov't = civil servant. QED?

                      No.

                      Civil Servants are, by definition, permanently employed by the Crown: in practice they are ultimately working for a Minister of the Crown.

                      That excludes the Armed Forces, the Police, Local Authorities, the Health Service, Parliament and - perhaps a little counter-intuitively - the Monarch.
