The woodsure scheme, do we need it?

same round here not paying them a penny FThem

I'm pretty convinced they have no idea how many firewood producers there actually are, and if everyone tried to register in the same year they could not cope. I just don't see the system being workable in the real world of people like me who sell a few loads here and there.

Surely someone is looking at the number of producers registered and wondering how all the people buying wood stoves are managing to fuel them?

And rubbing their hands with glee when they realise there are more folk to screw more money out of for no reason.

Some of those registered will be out to dob you in to the authorities😳. It was a few of the big producers who lobbied government in the first place in an attempt to monopolise the industry🤔. You didn’t think the government come up with this idea all on their own did you🤔.

What you say may or may not be true but I still don't see how it could be effectively  policed . If Mrs Miggins  gets her wood from you , like she always has , and it still burns like it always has she is not going to complain .

That only works if you don’t advertise.

If you have enough customers ( as he does ) then you don't need to advertise .

But for those that do they run the risk of being dobbed in. Even if you don’t and someone was of the mind to dob you in you’ll be known locally and still be at risk. Not that easy to fly completely below the radar.
