A good work ethic, not afraid to dig in and graft, and making the most of what he can do - should be held up as an example of what we can achieve if we set our minds to it.

ok, then lets hope the op finds a similar way to achieve his aims.

Do you know why it wouldn't be road legal?

I am English but have lived and worked in several countries over the years, I moved to France for a different way of life, I work both here and occasionally in the UK.

Generally speaking, water and sewage pipework is the responsibility of the property owner once it's over the boundary. Whilst they were trying to make that to the property, mainly for the average terrace homeowners where it's just a couple of metres, it wouldn't be for a laird unless it's a new housing estate that's getting adopted. Plus, Scottish water is still state owned isn't it?.

He's making six grand a week. I hope he enjoyed his day off and is happy with his new moped.

I looked at another house with off grid water yesterday. I cannot be free of these parasites quickly enough.

The joy of free markets is you don't need to do anything. However well intentioned, nobody knows how to sort water for everyone. So just back off and it'll sort itself out or it won't. Meanwhile, a factory worker in Falkirk won't be forced to a pay for a pipe to be run to a laird down a dead end track in Caithness.

Best recycling industry going, treat a natural resource, sell it to us then charge us to treat it again then sell it back to us.

I'd be guessing the first part would be to split the pipes away from the water - much like the gas and electric pipes are split out from the energy, split the companies in 2 to allow a type of competition to exist.. and be cheaper to buy back 1 part

**************** it. Let it impode. We flush toilets with drinking water. We deserve to desiccate. No need to buy it back. Just remove the restrictions that grant the monopoly and send me photos of their crestfallen little faces when they realise they just had seventy million slaves walk out the door.

Ahh, we were talking about 2 different things last night. Crossed wires. You are of course correct and to keep up with your analogy, there needs to be a gate house but once you are OK to pass you should be afforded the hospitality, safety, opportunities and sanctuary all free abuse and intolerance that we would all expect to be offered. Your gatehouse is often the missing link though in a politicians thoughts in the last 5 years or so, suspect it would mean having to talk to the French of all people, and the wider EU... who will of course want to trade bargaining chips. Not something Johnson, Truss, May or Sunak were willing to do with the Brexit negotiations.

Push it onto a flatbed trailer with a loader/digger (take that too). Use the flatbed as an infeed/outfeed table, loaded by the machine. Or leave the splitter up on the flatbed to gain some outfeed height.

How much would it cost to buy back from owners only in it for the ££ ? Hmmm... more than it is worth I suspect. (the pipes and so on are all assets and until they actually break are valuable - even if they need replacing, the buildings, pumps, equipment - they'll all be listed as having a value even if obsolete and need thousands spent to replace... but the cost of replacement will be spread over many years - the balance sheet will be skewed - own loads of stuff, but not much liabilities this year... will be over priced for what needs to be spent I reckon)

Dad's had one of those for ages. Very handy.

Hi everyone, Rock Machinery have this new splitter that looks like a copy of Eastonmade. Box wedge seems to be a pretty efficient setup combined with a conveyor belt. It's not the cheapest and the splitter is not legally road towable. My questions: how hard would it be to make it road legal? Are there any other brands in UK making something similar? Cheers Peter

New one today, MP001 tyre pump, £100. No more messing about with cig lighter cables and it should have enough air to seat tyre beads when I swap them myself. No free battery with these tho. I've had a slow leak in one tyre for ages and dont check it nearly often enough. This should help..

I see your in france, were you born there? or did you choose to move to france and get work there?

Although I agree, how much would it cost? It's been raped, I don't mean just asset stripped, it's been abused for profit. The infrastructure/network is shot, anyone who works in the water industry will tell you the same.

No point finding work if you are not eligible to do it though. You can travel for 90 days, but you can’t work unless you have an EU passport, or have applied for and been granted a work visa.

I have an old hammer gun . Midland with Damascus twist barrel 🙂 Its never been up a tree .
