The problem is now that whoever did the copper nails and ringbarking will be going around now spreading the word that it now works. So the word will now spread round that ringbarking is the answer if you want a tree down. I personally would have put up a notice on the tree for a week beofre it came down explaining the consequences of their action putting the local residents in danger and also risking prison for criminal damage and also a fine of around £20k See if they were as keen to brag then

Its not big enough Its adjacent to an old pruning wound, but it doesnt look big enough for wood pecker. I reckon a woodpecker has explored the hollow and a bluetit have used the excavation

No Johnny, good old fashioned wiring diagram mate

Things you buy that you can relate to business are quite obvious and I claim for them already. What I am after is the less obvious non purchase, in other words things you do not need to provide a receipt for or allowances such as the allowance of £5k for the wife to have a part in running the business. ..and such as the wear and tear on the washing machine if thats a genuine one

Now now Stevie, no need for that

Had another look today. The fault is one of the legs will not lift electronically through the electrically operated spool valve so when I need to lift leg number three I have to operate the manual lever on the spool. Suspected the solonoid on the spool, that was ok but found one of the wires that should go live when the button is pressed doesn,t, spent 20 minutes tracing it back through the machine and found this wire, still in it's socket but not tightened in Wonder how long the suppliers technician would have booked on that fault. I'm awesome me .....!!!!

Oops, sorry Tony, thats you using those big words again

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought honey fungus was a natural rotting mechanism ever present in the soil where there is organic matter to break down and trees only sucumb to it if there is a weakness or wound, sort of a natural survival of the fitest.

Something to bear in mind

It scattered debris a fair old distance Tim, way past the ticka tape
-
Yes he did that too. He had been going round pubs and clubs for years and the crowds were always mesmerised, I'm suprised he hasn't become well known sooner, I reckon it's 20 years since I saw him
-
Yes I saw him do all the above as well in Bradford many many years ago

I cant remember but if I did I think I should have learned my lesson then

So my accountant has worked out tax on the whole £21K Thats an error I would make, not what you'd expect from an accountant
-
No your wrong again, it is possible to make a profit, not "fiddle" the books and only clain totally legal allowances and not pay any tax. I made £21k profit and paid 20% income tax on that profit. Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression you dont pay tax on the first £5k or is that the first £5k earned and not profit

We're going to be nick naming you Richard Branson soon mate

Nice one justin, see....it does still work
-
Paul, I use simplex D account books and file all the receipts in order inbetween each page and put everything down in the columbs, I just dont add up the totals. Everything I know is done for him and to me all he has done is add the totals up and send them in. Thats why I asked him why I am paying him, I have already done all that
-
Thats not a problem if she was working, my daughter could do them instead. The point here is there are totally legal and allowable expenses, that was just an example
-
My missus can earn £5k without paying tax
-
I hear what your saying Rich but they should be able to work out something on square footage divided by total square footage of the whole building ??
-
I'm going to see how my linching meeting goes with him, he will know in no uncertain terms that he needs to work much harder for his money. But I may come back to you on that TCD, I can always post my books on no worries
-
No fiddling, all totally legal allowable expenses as TCD as just listed above
