   How long into UK working hours is it polite to wait before sending an overdue notice on an invoice I already extended an unusually generous payment window on?

     @devlin That's fair, but I know the person in question is waiting to be paid by a bigger fish up the chain before they can pay me.

     @HauntedOwlbear my experience is anyone who will try and get away with not paying, will do so for as long as they absolutely possibly can

     @devlin But yeah, I'm going to send a "please pay me first because I won't be around next week" note.

     @HauntedOwlbear i'd say in that case, a friendly reminder to get them to yell at the bigger fish
