  1. I'm pretty sure that if people can be seen to be just wasting the heat they could be made to repay the money.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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?
  5. I was thinking the very same.
  6. I don't "pick holes" I simply point them out I just can't stomach hypocrisy, sorry.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. There is no such thing as a "standard" unimog, each mog is built to a spec, the chassis number is a breakdown of that mogs spec.
  10. The chain brake is inertia operated, so is not reliant on two hands being on the saw.

    Wages

    The thing is who want's to stack shelves? While I see the point you are making, I think in reality if prices for jobs where higher, there would simply be more of an incentive for people to go on their own. I totally agree that many charge far too little, but I don't know how this can be fixed?
  12. Whats going to check the branch you chose for your TIP?
  13. How many miles do you get on average Bob and how big of a job is it? Are most modern trannys not also on liquid flywheels?
  14. I don't see myself in a work position where that could ever happen
  15. I have been climbing for over 25 years and cannot think of a single occasion when I have ever been any where near cutting my bridge, I really cannot think of any scenario where I could be in a position where I could cut my bridge, so I'm sorry if you're not happy with my post, but I stand by it and feel its reasonable.
  16. Well, that was kinda my point.
  17. You don't even know me!! At least when someone has the decency to answer my PM's I do them the same courtesy, cheeky sod!!
  18. Firstly I'm not your "mate" and secondly you cannot stipulate only positive replies, when you post on a forum you need to accept that you will get replies of all sorts, if you can't handle that its best not to post, IMO.
  19. If your worried about cutting your bridge I would stay on the ground.
