    Attack and infestation is of exposed heartwood. That can be any where. Spores can as easily land in the upper stem wound as in the base.

    yell.com enhanced listing £360 +vat YP double 1/4 column, white background one colour. £1379+vat. It attracts minimal work but often the recomendations we get look us up for the number.

    :ohmy:That price is from 1998, and for some it still applies now
  8. Log-ologist
    so true. Competiotion drives down the price for the customer. They benefit, not the arb firms. The arb firms work for less and pay gets stretched.

    There is speculation that bio-alcohol added to petrol at the refinery is washing the oil off the bores. hence siezure.

    its not so hot if you have to jack and get a salary. ( sorry if thats a bit simplistic matt)

    It can be you have the choice, but there are penalties if you dispose of the asset within a set period of time. So for most purchases under £50k . 50% and 100% are both correct.

    I save up a lump and top it up with a bank loan, the bank know my account, what I put in and what i spend. Banks charge a bit more but they want you to win so they can have their share. The capital purchase now attains 50% tax relief in the first year and there is 20% depreciation written off as well each year. Interest on loans and bank charges are also tax deductable. If I was in temporary financial ( cashflow probs) trouble the bank is willing to help , financiers wouldnt. The finance people just want their share regardless of the pain. Always take a scheme that leaves you with the item as yours or buy it back at the end.

    Sorry steve, I cant tell you, I pitty you if you have been forced to join the VAT club. Its a PITA burden. Your domestic customers will hate having to pay the extra for no improved service.

    Gobs fine , direction was in the line of lean, but he should have bored a leaner like that. It takes only a moment longer and could save his life. ) not that he will cut much more after a close one like that.

    Live life. The world will still turn when we are drowning in boiling seas. Who says we are the top of the evolutionary tree. Surf tsunami.

    Cannock chase was my first APF way back in '88. I was a green student from Holme Lacy. Rugeley is near but they talks funny, in a friendly mental way.

    Tarzan wrecked the top, and I crashed out the butt.
