It works for me. After four years of using it I'm beginning to think that I should have fronted the money for the Lifetime License.

The proof-reader could have done a better job but the sentiment rings true.

Not all heroes wear capes. If I was running that study I'd be over the moon to receive responses, and suggestions how to do things better from people like yourself.

That is a link to a post that they "retweeted", probably in order to gain more attention. Scientific studies are designed to factor in variables to prove or disprove hypotheses. It is highly likely that the people running this study will be factoring in different pollinators in their research. This project could actually help your business.

Your input into the dataset would probably be well welcomed.

There are a few options out there depending on what kit you currently have. I've been using Axiscape for a few years now. AxciScape - Home WWW.AXCISCAPE.COM Surveyors survey data collection tool optimised for field use on a tablet or laptop. General purpose CAD tool allowing fast... I quite like the looks of "Portable Mapper" too, but I'm wary of programs that rely heavily on internet connectivity, it's something to consider when working in remote places.

This seems like a useful project that we could probably contribute to: Plum job: UK public asked to track fruit trees for climate study | Trees and forests | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM People asked to record flowering cherry and plum trees near them to see whether patterns are changing https://fruitwatch.org/

Ha ha, as if Lebedev named his dog "Boris".

Most things are geared against the man in the street.

Aye, it sucks when you try and do the right things and it comes back to bite you. I hope there's some way of getting a class-action of sorts against the people who seem to have stitched you all up.

She's very good and you're welcome to her number. I think a solicitor is probably a better starting point in your circumstances.

You're just sore because they stopped you from bending the rules. Don't give it the high-horse.

That's not really much of a benchmark...

I'm glad you agree it's my entitlement to do what I want with my own business affairs. I don't boast about things, in fact where possible I try and send people to a decent accountant who can make sure they're not getting shafted by HMRC. Thanks for explaining your position.

Yup, the replies to the thread are quite interesting. Farage is a stooge, I know you like him, why though, I don't know.

Re-nationalisation of infrastructure services. Exploitation of company owners by HMRC and their associates. Sly digs and behaviour to fellow LTD company owners who are just trying to play by the rules, like you were/are.

So what do you propose we do about it?

Ok. So you have a Ltd company to take advantages of the opportunities of work you otherwise wouldn't have access to. Why should my companies attract such sly comments from you and Brittney, when you were happy to play HMRC at their own game until they changed the rules? Does my situation differ to yours and if so, how?

Another Angry Voice P&O Ferries, which claims to be "the UK's most popular ferry company", has fired their 800 UK seafaring staff with immediate effect, with the intention of replacing their jobs with agency workers on exploitative temporary contracts. This is such a despicable attack on British workers that "P&O" must become synonymous with abusive labour practices. Anyone who gives the slightest damn about the labour rights of British workers should boycott this atrocious company with immediate effect. And if the Silent Knight wants to actually do something to make Labour look half-decent, vehement opposition to this kind of "fire and replace" strategy is a must, alongside guarantees that a Labour government would outlaw the practice of firing contracted staff to either rehire them on worse conditions, or replace their jobs with agency staff. Millions of British workers need to be fully aware that if this kind of abusive employment practice continues to spread, their own jobs, wages, and working conditions will soon be under threat. The backlash against P&O needs to be swift and vigorous. Under this atrocious radical-right Tory government, other corporate profiteers will be tempted to try similar cost-cutting tactics, so P&O needs to serve as the warning that it is absolute reputational suicide for companies to attack their own workers.

Do you have a Limited company? If so, why? If not, why did the IR35 change stitch you up so much?

Delude yourself that it's nothing to do with it if you want. At least covid and Epstein clatter seem to be out of favour now.

Not really comparable then. I agree with the last bit though.
