Log sales what % goes to the black economy

[gensetsteve]

Noticed more over the last few years its impossible to sell logs against people keeping under the radar on the dole during the early autumn. Has anybody noticed after a cold spell they run out then it goes nuts. Unfortunately if its mild all winter its hard to sell a huge stock of logs. With more people on the dole soon I think it may get harder.

When the brother was looking for an alternative to his motorfactors job, he concluded that most of his likely livelyhoods were made un-viable by those "doing the double".

He was aware of the significent %age of car repairs carried out as part of the black economy from his delivery rounds.

All paid in cash.

From this perspective some of the breast beating about the Northern Ireland employment statistics are more than a little misleading as a significent %age of the claimants are also working.

Especially in the building trades.

PS

Steve?

Iffen I was looking to go 3-Phase for firewood equipment, what sort of money should a suitable 2nd hand genny cost.

I could also consider sommat new on running off a tractor PTO shaft?

Mulling my options over.

I don't think it's just been the last few years, I think you could look back into the mists of time and find the same. The black economy is the real world, a true indicator of the state of the country. In times of real hardship, it thrives, in times of plenty it diminishes. But it's always there, hidden maybe but there. The rest of us just have to carry on as we've always done, scrape by to pay our taxes.

Yes I think they are called tree surgeons selling logs for a bit of beer money
