[ballibeg]

Great! Gas price goes through roof. Gas customers fit stoves. We sell logs!

[ballibeg]

After 4 years selling logs ive decided to pack in. Cost of cord, time to extract snd deal with it against the 40 quid bulk bag crew has made me! I now have a supply of quality logs for our jew log burner which im installing. Good luck to everyone in the log business!

As long as your not in to the bank for money does it matter if it sells this season or next. I've not got a lot but what I have is mine my only cost overheads are yard insurance cord and fuel

Looking on the bright side I think we are still in a recession added to the fact we have had at least two years of mild weather. Previous year people stocked up because firewood run out in 2010. So it's mild and some people have piled logs up. It can't get a lot worse so if you can survive this you can survive anything. I am glad I just do wholesale kindling now.

Someone above mentioned a "plan", yes, as far as I am aware, there is a "plan" by OPEC to flood the market with their cheap to extract oil, so as to make fracking/shale oil/Falklands oil etc uneconomic.

Cos If these otherwise marginal oil sources become enomonically viable, OPEC got no barganing clout.

That no doubt combined with speculators now dumping "hoarded" oil in panic.

And to think in 1974 I was writing doom laden essays about the end-of-oil (for "O" Level English)

I think people need to start recognising the possibility that the last 2 winters could be the norm in future. I'm not saying we couldn't get winters like 08/09 and 09/10 again but they could not be for another 30yrs. Market forces such as climate change, inc competition, social changes, etc will force a lot to adapt and/or explore different revenues. You see this all the time in farming, fishing, rural estates, etc and it's normally those who are more forward thinking succeed.
