  1. If I bought in timber at a cost of £1000+vat(at 20%), I can reclaim the £200 vat back at the end of the quarter. If in the same quarter I sell £3000+vat (at 5%) of logs, I will have collected £150 of vat for HMRC, so they will owe me an additional £50 even before vat on overheads is taken into account. It really is pretty simple
  2. No, it is often actually from paypal, but the payment method to paypal has not yet cleared and never will clear. Also with paypal, the buyer can claim the item was faulty or did not arrive and paypal will refund them, if you have not already withdrawn the funds you lose them.
  3. Rubbish!! Are you VAT registered? I hope not If I buy in timber, I pay 20% VAT, I can claim back 100% of that vat from HMRC. Now if I have sales in that quarter I will owe VAT on those sales, but the VAT on end user sales of wood fuel is 5%. So unless the value of the sales is 4X greater than the cost of the purchased timber in the quarter I will be receiving money from HMRC, rather than paying them.
  4. No, thats when it hits you in the face and knocks your teeth out.
  5. Not sure that can be true, otherwise Mike would not have posted that excellent video earlier.
  6. Most of the pictures I've seen of barbered trees, the gobs are far to small, imo, this is like having no gob. Many would consider my gobs far to big, but I've never had a barbers chair.
  7. Obviously you cannot exceed the trailers plated weight, but that was not the OP's question. If the trailers plated weight allows it, you can legally gross up to 31tonnes as a combination, as far as I know.
  8. This used the be the case, but its was changed to 31tonnes. https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/agricultural-tractor-and-trailer-weight-and-speed-limit-regulations
  9. Log jam = when you use the customers toilet and the bugger won't flush away
  10. Yes you do!!! I have "reclaimed" many thousands of pound when buying large plant.
  11. Not sure can so easily blame the tree My definition of a barbers chair would be when the faller cocks up.

    So let me get this right………….. not only do you look ridiculous, but you also end up deaf, yet people still buy them Only kidding but not something I would want.
  13. Yes very commendable!! It takes a special kind of person to head towards trouble, rather than away.
  14. Fair enough. My mother is a tetraplegic after falling down her stairs, she had lived in that house for 30 years with no previous incident. Since her accident I have be staggered by the number of deaths and serious injuries others have told me about involving stairs.
  15. I only watched to the end because you posted it As for your questioning my redbloodedness If I were feeling that way inclined, there are much better videos freely available
  16. That approach did not work out too well for Jean Charles da Silva e de Menezes.
  17. A video like that would probably make me want to not use a product or service (thats if I actually watched it to the logo) I really don't get it?
  18. I really don't see what "appropriate action" can be taken to prevent lone wolf attacks?
  19. At 6MPG, 120miles is £120 for fuel, leaving £255 which if it takes 3 to 4 hours, is not great, but doable. If its a back load your at £60 for fuel and only a couple of hours time, so pretty good
  20. Firstly Robert no longer works for Auntie, also HE is a very intelligent guy
  21. I think this is very smart and very nicely done:thumbup1: However the trip hazard would worry me.
