  1. Facebook is strange. I like seeing funny clips etc, but don't get the whole "look at me and my family going out" thing. I have a business page that my son set up, today I got a call from Switzerland from some body who really likes my page
  2. Got to say Really don't think this is the case. The only time I a sharpen a saw in the yard, is if I'm cutting in the yard. If a saw does need sharpening before we start, I find customers are generally fascinated by the process and IMO they see us as skilled when we can quickly sharpen a saw when needed. As for changing chains, rather than sharpening, oh dear . When I take a chain off its done!
  3. Why does a nomark, who as far as I can see has contributed very little to the site, feel they its ok to come out with this kind of thing? Utterly pathetic
  4. Give Alex Price a call Tom, they will see you right and give it the once over while they have it. You really can't beat letting the experts taking a look, IME
  5. Most peoples wages have not risen much the last 10 years, in fact some have fallen. As for 20+years ago, I started in the mid 90's as a groundie on £30 a day, learned to climb and went straight to £60 and thought I was a millionaire (both SE)
  6. She was very, very lucky. A friends brother wrote of his car when drunk and got zip, zero, not a penny!!
  7. Yes, the police would be involved, because you would be breaking the law. NPTC tickets are not a legal requirement. Proof of competence is, but is it really an insurance broker or company’s job to decide which proof is sufficient?
  8. So why are we not asked to show our licence when taking out motor insurance?
  9. Well said Mark! There are people who really NEED to travel, lets those of us who can wait not get in their way.
  10. Look at his stance, with no harness and strop he'd fall over backwards, you can actually see the tail of his strop in the pic
  11. I think you will find he is most defiantly wearing a harness and using a strop.
  12. The remainers are utter hypocrites, if they had won and the leavers had then suggested another vote it would have be laughed at and quite rightly so!
  13. I guess they didn't get the answer "they" wanted, so they want us to try again, "they" are utter scum!!
  14. How can it be "tax neutral"? the hire charge is income to Co A, which increases turnover, without any actual increases in revenue. I'm no expert, but I can't see it being a good thing.
  15. That would be pretty inefficient from a tax point of view, I think the TAX man would like it.
  16. You can actually cross hire from one Co to the other.
  17. I ran two separate business for many years, one a a sole trader, none VAT reg and one Ltd, VAT registered. Both doing tree work. I had separate equipment for each, landy and tinywolf for the none vat and Unimog for the vat registered.
  18. But your in France? or where to looking to buy from the UK?
  19. Should work, just remember its a left hand thread.
  20. Just a wee thought for anyone............................if you pay your bills you don't need to give the ways bailiffs dress a second thought............... works for me
