What do you reckon to this?

[skyhuck]

Oh that reminds me the farm is being spot checked by trading standards tomorrow.

 

 

How can it be a "spot check", if you know they are coming??

[County4x4]

I've a good mind to post all his briquette prices on MY website!!!

 

Rollers for instance - over £9 a pack for small quantities PLUS postage! I'm not sure if that's technically criminal - but it ain't far off!!

so from their website 1m3 = £160! That is more expensive than coal!

 

does anyone know of any customers who buy or have bought this "kiln dried" wood at these sorts of prices?

 

looking at various other "national" suppliers on the web it appears to me that one of the biggest attractions for customers must be the fact that the wood is crated and can be forked into position at customer premises in a ready made logstore. but you you sure pay for that luxury.

New policy by Lancs CC

 

From their letter.

 

"Historically these farm inspections have been carried out unannounced. The appointment system is undertaken in the hope it will benefit all parties by reducing wasted time and focusing on issues where we can help.

 

It then gives a detailed checklist of what their looking for none of which affects me so I can see it being a very short meeting.

So its an "arranged visit", not a "spot check".

If it was arranged I would have the option as to when they come instead I am being told their coming tomorrow afternoon and they expect me or a representative to be their.

Been a farm since approx 1650 just have lovely neighbours who like to drop you in it obviously since we have done Landshare they believe we are now keeping animals. Last week it was the Right of Way people complaining about a puddle across the public footpath caused by the next door neighbour blocking the field drain.
