Not China Yes, but its still a British Co and pays plenty tax. Electric cars are next.

You ever heard of a little Co called Dyson? Sir James is VERY pro leave, but I guess you know more about the situation than he.

And you think China can? see your earlier post.

Or maybe they voted to still have the power to control their own countries future. If we had voted to remain in "ever closer union" would have left us all as simply passengers on the EU bus, without even the power to vote out a dangerous driver and paying for far more than our share of the fuel.

All this waffle and hot air. Everyone thinks their an economic and political expert, who know exactly why everyone voted I vote out for very a simple reasons. I had no massive issue with a single market (although I am not a fan of protectionism, IMO its far better to allow poor countries free access to our markets, letting them help themselves rather than sending them aid) I live in Great Britain, in a country called England. I have no interest in living in a country called Europe. I can't help thinking how outraged the remain voters would have been if they had won the vote and the outers had reacted in the way remoaners are behaving.

I used one of these. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/insulated-storage-containers-better-than-steel-Secure-Strong-No-Condensation/162720565423?hash=item25e2e6c8af:g:OwMAAOSwfcVUHTyJ

Well said Stefan!! Its a shame many have so little pride in our great nation.

The only way we are going to get any sort of decent deal is to take things to the wire. The EU is used to getting their own way, they think with enough pressure we will cave and stay in the club. Once they are out of time to make us change our minds they will come up with a compromise, they have just as much, if not more to loose from no deal as we do.

So why on earth do YOU continue to do it?

Hehe, I was thinking the same. I've always thought "footing" is only needed when on hard ground, flags etc, where there is a risk of the ladder sliding, here someone preventing this is useful, IMO.

Presumably you are talking %'s here? So yes, maybe they pay a lower % tax, but the actual amount they pay will be far higher. They probably pay more VAT on their Range Rover, than the cleaner pays in income tax. Lies, damn lies and statistics.

Trimming hedges makes them remain juvenile, pretty obvious really as the new growth can only be as old as the time from the last cut. I remember removing a 60ft laylandii that had a trunk that was 18"thick, all it neighbours were 8ft tall with trunks under 6", they were all planted together, but but the small hedge trees were trimmed annually, the large one had been left "to see what it would do".

So why do "young" Beech and Oak retain their leaves through the winter?

I thought a "cob" was a horse?

Very sensible, IMO. Far better than some place becoming a shrine for weirdos to visit, the seas a big place if they want go there fine, lets hope a few fall in and don't get back out.

Brilliant!!! Enjoyed that, thanks

Disappointed in you Mark Surely your axe needs grinding just as much as mine

Edward, I think you need to read the opening post again, they did contact the council, "The council stated that the legislation doesn't matter, as their internal guidance says otherwise" Why did the LA not state the TPO was made before the legislation came into place? If you are correct the planning solicitor is also incorrect. My post was in reference to the suggestion that a few days over the time does not matter. I have over the years had some pretty appalling experiences with TO's. IME a lot have a terrible attitude and try to increase their power with utter nonsense. Some insist on a TPO form for a 211 notice, some put replanting conditions on a 211 notice felling they have not TPO'd. One TO tried to tell me that listed building statues protected the trees within the garden. I had one where a knackered HC dropped a limb, I told the client to email a 5 day notice, she got back a snotty email threatening legal action if we touched the tree. A week later it dropped another limb, she then got a letter from the TO giving her 7 days to remove the tree, or they would do it and bill her. Fortunately our local TO's are OK and I get on well with them, BUT I make it very clear I put my clients and their interests first. I never inform them of my intentions when checking for TPO's. Its not my job to help the TO.

Mick, my post was related to the number of times I read people saying they charge over £500 per day, yet they are not VAT registered

do you take notes?

Edward, does that huge chip on your shoulder make you walk round in circles?

Or telling the truth

Don't want to sound harsh, but how on earth do you find yourself with a remote controlled tracked grind, which is a fantastic tool to have!! and yet not know what to charge?

They missed the boat plain and simply. Their argument that it was "only by a bit" is nonsense, its like saying a little bit pregnant, no such thing. I would "sharpen the big saw" to quote treequip, and crack on.

Not a fan of ladders personally. I find having to carry them a pain, they easily get destroyed on the timber trailer. I also find customers are impressed that we don't use them and I feel it may make them think the jobs a little more specialised than they had thought, so are less likely to "have a go" But only my personal thoughts
