Dual cab pickups ....

I actually own and use a pick up rather than commuting by train to the office there lies the difference, you had visions of my cock in your head and somehow relate that to American pick ups 🤔 😳🤷‍♂️

Good of you to take an interest mind. Regards the environmental lot, you ATL darlings get your knickers in a twist far to easily about anything. I still don’t get why some guys on a forum for an industry where such trucks are commonly utilised would apparently be enthusiastic about crippling tax changes, just to catch out a few people who cheat the system” something you will never stop” 

What a strange response!

Fortunately Dave my comment didn't imply that I was having any visions of your cock I'm glad to say, but if that's what you want to think you carry on.

I can only assume that you're so lacking in self awareness that you simply don't realise the amount of your posts that can come across as boastful. You may well not be like it in the real world, but on here it doesn't seem to matter the subject, you've always done more than the person whose opinion you disagree with. Whether it's kit, cars, hours worked, distance driven, countries visited, nationalities worked with, years spent doing whatever, dirtiness of truck, tax paid, engine size, number of guns etc etc, you're forever claiming to have a greater entitlement to voice your opinion on whatever subject than the next person.  It all pretty tedious really.

However the one who is getting most narky about a bit of extra tax on his vanity van company perk is the one whose tuck is not used day in day out, but is apparently sat in a yard for 300 days of the year gathering dust.

You know this how ? 
300 days a year sat in the yard 🤔absolute fantasy stuff from the train commuter again just making up numbers. Every time you put a post up like this you just show your ignorance of the subject. You gonna say what you do for a living then SP or not ??. 
You know I really do wish I had zero to do on those 300 days you imagine that everything is just sat around gathering dust. I would think every self employed guy or business owner on here knows the hours you have to put in to make it work. 
Its £12k extra tax by the way for no other reason than the government is full

of envious jealous fools like ???

😂😂you need to maybe get out and about a bit more lad, live life a bit. What I’ve got what I’ve done or where I’ve been 🤷‍♂️I tend to put pics up to back it up. Better to be honest and open, none of it was ever given it was all earned. 
In this instance I’ve got more invested in it than a train commuter who seems obsessed by other peoples earnings, you still haven’t answered the question about the extra tax on those who use and need them. By the way you were the one who had the cock vision not me. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, it’s good if people are honest and open I find, maybe throw up a few pics of what they do occasionally ie in my case the milling or the odd rifle etc( I’d imagine knowing gun owners there’s a few on here with a lot more than me ) 🤷‍♂️life’s not a dress rehearsal.

Your numbers, 62 days milling and stuff. 300 days not used for the business, sitting in the yard doing nothing.... or being used for a personal vehicle. Your numbers.

When the system is that complicated they need to email you invitations to study sessions to understand it you know it’s beyond help.

Your total reluctance to answer this simple often asked question is really really quite strange behaviour considering how much you have to say about other people’s activities. 

 

You seriously think that’s all there is too it eh 😂😂

I wish you were right in all reality but unfortunately you are utterly clueless on the matter. By far the easiest option would be to give in

and take an easy 9/5 40hrs a week salaried  position.

I would say for people I know with double cabs the split is probably pretty even between people like Dave who really need one and vanity tosser trucks.

Sign written plumber? FFS, what a shite vehicle choice.

 

The farm and forestry boys properly use them, so do a lot in the construction game.

They NEED 4x4, decent towing and safe tool storage.

Crew/family space is a must as well sometimes.

 

Yes, a single cab would probably work for some of them.

A king cab would work for a lot more.

 

For the other half they are just cock extenders.

IT guys wanting to prove they are real men.

 

It’s THEIR choice though, and as has been pointed out, they are already taxed to buggery on 33mpg.

 

This government policy is mental.

 

There must be a better way of deciding who is using it as a dodge and who isn’t.

 

Spot checks by inspectors.

 

If you can’t jump in it wearing muddy boots and it hasn’t got a towbar, crack on.

 

Otherwise leave people be, and address the real issues like the thousands of boat people streaming over here from war torn Albania.

I’ll give you a little example SP, for one days milling “ a regular customer otherwise I’d not have done it, and as any small business owner or self employed will tell you, your customer base is important” entailed a days sharpening and setting blades plus prep of mill, the mill like any machine will not run on fairy dust and no maintenance. Deliver mill to site on Friday 21st Feb. On site 0700 with generator on trailer Sat 22nd Feb, mill from 0800-1800 pack up  and drop generator and trailer off at yard, back to site collect mill and drop off at yard, bit of maintenance and cover for shit weather forecast. Back via Turriff to collect kids at 2230 as I’m passing that way anyway and home for 2300. Back to mill on Sunday 23rd finish off the maintenance and collect blades ready for sharpening and setting for next job. 
Your version of events is literally fantasy land stuff. 
 

What do you do for a living SP ??
