  1. how much £s do you get for it and how much £s do you buy it in for if you dont mind me asking
  2. and if it was a gay couple???????
  3. yeah. sorry mate only noticed that when it got posted what i ment was the customers are stupid:blushing: should've put this one in:008: or this one:stupid:
  4. my mate got his snowboard gear there and it was really good. got mine in tescos and by the end of the second day i had to buy needle and thread from the spar. damn thing fell apart
  5. i'd love to know who does:001_tongue:
  6. dont know any boat builders, well did do some work for HMS Bark Endevour. think i'll get more firewood
  7. From around the World we have sourced firewood that is so dry it has no moisture content but is so hard it burns for days, fruitwoods and nutwoods which bring authentic and exotic flavours and perfumes to interior or alfresco entertaining. (extract from site) i guess its all about marketing.......a minute has passed and another ONE is born
  8. always found cedar to be great as is yew, but they are not available in huge quantities like larch. now theres an idea... cedar and yew woodlands
  9. now i know it is a softwood, but what are your oppinions on this. i only ask as there appear to be quite a few of the larger firewood companies on the web selling it. i had some this year and when i burnt it i found it gave off an increadible amount of heat and broke down into a really good charcoal ember. i found it to be quite good for heat and burn time. if hardwood is hard to get now then is this our next alternative? biggest obsticle is educating the public though?
  10. £25 a net!!!! can they really get this money for one net check it out http://www.druidswood.co.uk/ i know its imported buy who pays for it? gonna put my prices up then
  11. hey dean. does that not take a long time to pack and is it not hard on the back? is it worth it when you can just loose load a tipper?
  12. well done mate, thats gonna cost you. my wedding is in march and we decided small and cheap...... upto 10k so far but 3 of that is the honeymoon to mexico without the kids bought the misses a nintendo ds.... i got an ironing board and washing line, then told to introduce myself to them... then she got dressed and put on my trousers. oh she is such a comedian
  13. once had a run in with weights and measures about how we sold the wood, we were selling it out of a one tonne pickup and sold it as a ton........... until some guy weighed every piece and reported us. after a discussion with weights and measures over a cup of tea we were advised of the following if you sell a product in quantity then you have to have a clear description it must be sold by a recognised weight or volume a van load or large bag is not a defined weight or volume. they recommended i sell by the m3 and described as a loose split load, if i could not weigh it, but had to find a way to measure a m3. we measured the truck and went from there. this happened 8 years ago, in this time i have found out that 1 ton dumpy bags come in a variety of sizes and are not a m3, and the cubic meter vented bags are liable to stretching. also wood sold by weight was never weighed and if it was then fresh wood was always on the bottom of the truck and nice dry stuff on top. as this fuel gets more popular, the public will become wiser. cover your ar5e and just do it right. trading standards will either help you or persicute you. i've only seen them once since and that was them asking me for advice good luck
  14. something not quite right about that ad why are there no photos of all the equipment? and the ones he does have are off the web site. looks like a con to me
  15. tennants problem mate. look at it like this if you were a painter and turned up at a house under the occupiers instruction and decorated a room an later found out the occupier was a tennant, how were you to know. is this then graffitti/ vandalism. the tennant knew full well what they were asking and doing, as long as you checked for a TPOor Conservation order then you are fine. why should you do a land registry check also
  16. WOOD TURNERS ARE THE BIGGEST PAIN IN THE AR$E WHEN YOU HAVE A WOOD PILE. they pull it all aprt and leave you with a big mess and then haggle over pennies.. chuck the wood in the splitter every time now... firewood for all of it
  17. i'm in... fingers crossed for a win
  18. paid £800 for that one and its never let me down
  19. drinking too much alcohol can kill you, but it dont tell you that on the bottle
  20. heres my girls, red one does the most work and i panick the most when i cant use it.
  21. how could they prove whose wood they were burning? the owner could have gone out and picked up some wood from anywhere and used that and then blamed the supplier
  22. ha ha ha, that hilarious but i would not have fired him..... just reminded him and humiliated him for ever more. i've seen some of the most experienced arborists do stupid things and read about more on here. this guy could be a dimond in the rough, go on give him a second chance:001_tongue:
  23. sorry for delay but broke a bone in my hand and pain is an issue i did have that ram problem but found it to be a combination of sticky hydraulic valve and mechanism. i just use the cheap blades and get them sharpened, but those prices look good
  24. mate i would change to nfu when i got robbed it was all sorted very quickly
  25. is it a 700 dave?
