Exactly.

I think agency staff is one of the biggest rackets:thumbdown: The NHS should surly run their own agency, but then all the MPs and their cronies who make a packet out of the existing agency would loose out and we can't have that now can we:sneaky2:

I've had a TPO arrive by recorded delivery at the landowner address on the 42 day.

Too many fat sods with self induced diabetes, etc, etc.

Yes mine is a single belt. I bought two many years ago, still have a spare. I think they were £64 each.

Should it not also be a single belt, IE two belt manufactured as one piece. I would imagine single belts don't last long?

Thank you My mother was refused CHC (continuing health care) so we had to appeal, I joined the SIA and they produced and excellent appeal letter for us and she does now have CHC, but is not in control of her own budget, so we don't know how much she gets or how its spent. We have an excellent GP who is looking into it for us. The SIA appear very over stretched.

My experience with NHS has up until 12 months ago been excellent, real could not have faulted it. We have 4 children and the births will all handled very well, the first was very difficult and my son was in intensive care for his first few days, with a life threatening condition that was handed with great skill. I smashed my face up pretty bad a couple of years ago and again the service was outstanding. I expected to be pretty badly scarred, but the surgeon was outstanding and there is pretty much no sign I was ever injured. And the care was so swift I only lost half a day from work. We had a cancer scare with one of my daughters, again outstanding treatment, swift surgery and thankfully it was benign. Now the bad bit, a little over a year ago my mother fell down the stairs breaking her neck. She was taken to Preston Royal. The surgeon was good, but the after care was dreadful, they managed to give her a bedsore in under 2 weeks, which is pretty impressive. She is now pretty much a tetraplegic and has been in various place and the care has been shoddy at best. And the things I've seen in some of the places she has been are pretty scary. Care of the elderly is in need of real reform, something is very wrong in this country and needs fixing, IMHO.

What makes you say that?

Oh dear!, he murdered that. This is a much better version, IMO [ame] [/ame]

A fellow member (mr treebus) really rates the wood walkers. I have meindl walking boots which are super comfy.

Heat is a valuable and important product.

I'm pretty sure that if people can be seen to be just wasting the heat they could be made to repay the money.

Boots are such a personal thing, its very hard to get a good recommendation, IMO. I listened to all the people who raved about airstreams, oh boy!! how I regretted it for the first few months, compared to Hiax pro's they were horrible!! I had been wearing Haix for 13 years+, so comfortable and warm, but did not last long and a bit bulky. The airsteam's are SO cold!! and hard, my feet were so uncomfortable for the first few months, they are broken in now and are OK, not great, but OK. They are wearing incredibly well, I reckon I'll get a couple of years out of them, which is unheard of for me. 12 months is the very longest I've had out of the Haix or any other boot and many have only lasted me 8 months. If this winter had been cold I would have bought some haix for the winter and kept the airsteam's for summer, but as its mild I'll cope.

There will also be a great many people who (like me) have a business use, log kiln, workshop, etc and also heat their domestic home, this is allowed on the CRHI.

Were these schemes not set up to achieve EU targets, that if not met would result in huge fines? If I'm correct does anyone know the size of the fines and wether the payments are greater or less than the potential fines?

Yes .

What a nice idea

I was thinking the very same.

I don't "pick holes" I simply point them out I just can't stomach hypocrisy, sorry.

Indeed, if the thread had read "free to collector, as I feel firewooding it would be a shame" then it would have been very different, imo.

I don't wish to be negative, simply realistic, but… If the guys who felled the trees, who presumable know a great deal more about the timber market than yourself, felt it was of such low value that they left it, do you not think you will be wasting your time? Maybe you could use some yourself? or charge people a nominal fee to come and "pick their own"? But I can't imagine that the cost of advertising, collecting and delivering will be covered by its sale value.
