Taken from skf

i had a friend who practiced on the road with someone with the licence and L plates on. He got a fine and 3 points for the priverlage he got pulled as he had L plates on the trailer.

What was the reason for the penalty? You'd still need l plates on the trailer. I did when I did class 1

Ha Ha,........... will I have to be his beaaach

Oh dear, that's a new low for you mate. Haha

Quite

 

Ed's Ifor is 12 feet, mine is 16 feet, If we both do a full load of beech which one of us is most likley going to jail?

Probably both going to jail 

Yeah thinking of it that can't be right or else each length would have to have different height sides

Suppose so, though I di read somewhere that ifor trailers are designed so alevel load is equal to there capacity. Just seems more sensible legally wise to have it the other way, well to me anyway.

Well I reckon it was better as it was, this just opens a whole world of confusion and guesswork, not that it really matters to me 

Am I right in thinking here then that in theory I'd be able to tow my 3.5t ifor with my astravan? As long as it didn't go over the 1600kg towing limit of the astra? Or have I misunderstood?

Yes, but even if some one cannot read it does not mean a written contract is invalid, if they sign the contract its binding, its their responsibility to have read and understood the contract before signing, if they cannot read they need to get some one they trust to read it to them.

 

If this were not the case anyone wanting to get out of a contract would simply claim to be illiterate and walk away.

Interesting all this talk about contracts, good luck trying to take them to court if they don't pay!

Probably to do with cutbacks - I expect they've had to take away tree officer funding so they can pay the new head of services for the multi-cultural LGBT population of Chorley.

Haha probably true tho

were they jeans or chaps on the ranger with the saw?

Ive just seen that. I think there the old stihl trousers the blue ones.

Might have some oak logs to get rid of in Liverpool l25, there's probably be about 3 tons will be mostly ringed up. Let me know if ur interested, cheers mike

I ordered a few weeks back it took a couple of weeks to come

Yawn! If you don't want to buy an iPhone made in those conditions, make sure you don't buy anything else from china too! Or in fact many other less developed countries too

Ok so what if I changed it slightly and said, which would you choose from a job with the above pension and low pay or a better paid job but no pension?

I would regard this as a good thing.

 

For the majority of employed people (I suspect this is not the status of many people on Arbtalk who appear to be self-employed) a pension is a sensible thing to plan for. Following the collapse of Equitable Life, the remaining companies are heavily regulated so it's pretty secure.

 

The amount you put away each month is realistic and you're effectively more than tripling it when the fact that it's tax free is taken into account. Compare this with, for example, the amount of your net salary you would need to pay the mortgage on a second house as others have suggested.

 

Consider that, in the end, there is likely to be a period before you die where you can no longer work. During this period, you will need more than state benefits if you want to do anything with your remaining years. This isn't about luxury cruise holidays, it's about having enough to heat the house, or to visit the grandchildren. The basic state pension won't do this, having a bit more coming in will make this possible.

 

It can get a little complicated when you move company as you do end up with a series of little pots of money from each if they're using different schemes, but you don't have to do anything with them - just keep them all in a big folder and when you're ready to turn them into an annual income you cash them all in together via a pension provider. Simple.

 

So, unless you really need the small amount of extra monthly income now, I would regard more than tripling your money as a very good deal.

This was another thing I'd wondered. I thought that for it to be any use I'd have to stay with the company for the next 20yrs or so. But your saying it doesn't matter if I move I'll still get something?

Cheers for the advice guys, got some thinking to do.

My wife is my pension:thumbup:

What, you gonna sell her?!

Just wondering what people's thoughts are on a company pension? I'm 29 now and have started with a company who has a pension, they put twice what I put in. Which seems good. Obviously a lot of people would be happy with a job at the minute never mind a pension, but I'm just interested in wether people think it's something I should be worrying about?

About £30plus vat per section

There not much different to that new.

I used to be an hgv driver and I watch it, it's not the best but compared to most of the drivel on fri nights there's nowt better!

You going on the power lines?

I had spring loaded bolts fitted on the inside of mine before it was converted to a tipper . So you had to open the ifor top to access the bolts . Available from all agricultural suppliers .

That sounds a good idea, nice and simple 

All I can say is the TW has far too high hopper.

Yep. I've got a Jo beau it does what it says on the tin!

I looked at combos but after I drove one found they were a bit noisy on the motorway.
