  1. 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)
  2. She was very, very lucky. A friends brother wrote of his car when drunk and got zip, zero, not a penny!!
  3. 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?
  4. So why are we not asked to show our licence when taking out motor insurance?
  5. Well said Mark! There are people who really NEED to travel, lets those of us who can wait not get in their way.
  6. 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
  7. I think you will find he is most defiantly wearing a harness and using a strop.
  8. 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!
  9. I guess they didn't get the answer "they" wanted, so they want us to try again, "they" are utter scum!!
  10. 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.
  11. That would be pretty inefficient from a tax point of view, I think the TAX man would like it.
  12. You can actually cross hire from one Co to the other.
  13. Obviously
  14. 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.
  15. But your in France? or where to looking to buy from the UK?
  16. Should work, just remember its a left hand thread.
  17. 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
  18. IME, if you want to centrally heat a house using wood you need a large outdoor boiler. Alternatively you could get a multi fuel stove and burn wood most of the time, but use coal or smokeless overnight.
  19. Burn coal.
  20. If you using your strop correctly there is zero chance of it ending up round your ankles. As for needing pegs to "catch" you if you slip, this IMO, is a bit of a myth. OK maybe on a smooth, wet Sycamore there is a possibility, but not on a conifer or any rough barked trees. Pegs are a crutch, they are not needed and in my view are the sign of a poor or sloppy climber. Ok so its only his 3 dismantle, but far better to start with good practice, IMO.
  21. I would imagine it has a centrifugal clutch, so the drum tuning is ok. But not a machine I’m familiar with, so I could be wrong.
  22. Except their self-employed, apparently.
  23. 10 years ago things were great! We had estate agents going round the country inflating the value of people homes, those people then remortgaged. So basically they were handing out briefcases of unearned cash. A lot of that cash was pumped into the economy. Its taking sometime for the economy to reset.
  24. How do you help the genuinely suffering, without the lazy putting themselves into the same position as the suffering in order to reap the same benefits? The more generous you make the benefit system, the more people suddenly find themselves in need, weird ain't it? As benefits have been cut more and more mysteriously find they are able to work after all..............who knew? I feel sorry for those in genuine need, but how do we get round lazy human nature?
