Ah, you dont have sky tv then, Grissum is my hero, dont you wish you knew just half as much as that guy and secretly he gets the babes, I think he is doing that blond bit.

Theres always one, your in the wrong job, should be CIS.

Our old truck for sale Leyland DAF on eBay (end time 08-May-11 15:29:49 BST) Ideal combination and a lot of truck for not a lot of money.

They nick Defender bonnets and doors from by us.

I have two mature Eucalyptus in my garden the both look very sick, large sections bark on the one has split and is peeling away, the other just has the dead leaf syndrome. I will probably fell one and pollard the other, just waiting to see if there is any sign of life first.

We have 5no Sycamore trees approx one tonne of weight in each tree but that's a guess and might be wrong which we have felled today, if anyone is interested in the timber (ASDA price) please let me know. Bob 01902 892652 It will need to be removed today 18th or tomorrow 19th.

I am nearer than Woodpicker and will do it for £1,500:biggrin: no b&b:001_tt2: Seriously, we have a job in Nottingham in approx two weeks time so if you have any dimensions or better still some pics I would gladly give you a proper price

I like it, is that an ash tray beneath the coffee table.

The first was self employed and I almost ended up with his JCB but it didn't quite happen, the second is a supply teacher and she say's she has to look after her neice and nephew which I believe is a lie, the third did have a job but lost it. The second one is very clever, she never turned up for any of the court appearances which made the proceedings drag on and subsequently I was awarded judgement, then when the bailiffs went round she would not be in or she would be in but would not open the door, in the end the court made her disclouse her means which is when she lied about her niece and nephew which the court believed without any proof. This is when the course of action has to stoop to self gratitude, the law has run it's course and failed which is then time for some of the earlier comments about cow muck and guys who do stuff for a few pints etc to come into play.

Your right about companies house but he needs to know whether to pursue a claim or not and this is just part of information gathering. One of the three who did not pay me was being taken to court by another two companies for carpets and blinds at the same time. Two of the three are individuals, one had a letter from his sister saying everything in his house belonged to her so the bailiffs could not take a thing, the second did pretty much the same but in court, she was ordered to pay a £800 bill @ £5 a week, she never paid a penny, the third simply did not have any money.

After reading all the post's on this thread so far I would say that due to the serious nature of this guy,s predicament unless you have have experience or knowledge then say nothing, many of the comments are flippant and will not solve the problem but create an opposite situation and when you are sitting in front of the magistrate in the small claims court trying to defend your case you will be taken to task by the defendant or his legal advisors. I have been to small claims court several times and fortunately won each time, unfortunetly even though I have been awarded judement, on three occaisions I have not been paid because the defendants do not have any money or posessions or they have them and know how to work the system. My advice for what it's worth would be to firstly satisfy yourself that if you take them to court and you win they have the funds or assets to pay you, items they have such as vans on lease or tools/plant on hire are worth nothing. You may be throwing good money after bad. I have never used a solicitor and always defended myslef but I have spent a lot of time making sure I got things right and in this instance it looks like you have the law on your side. Having said that there are ways to go about things and this is expalined in the leaflets provided by the court, what I would say is read them, then read them again, then the following day read them again. Look on the companies house web site and see what info you can find about them, how long have they been trading, is their reg office their trading address, what is their turnover, is it consistent with previous years. How far are they away from you, go round one morning and see if the vans or trucks are going out the yard so you know if they are still working then go and see whoever gave you the job and have a word politely. Do not take anything or be agressive until you know they have no money or assets. Once you do this you can forget the small claims court.

Ditto My 130 tipper has been doing it for 187,000 miles and my 110 for 140,000 miles.

From the way you have worded your post I guess your 110 has a anti roll bar fitted, therefore I would say your current springs and possibly shock absorbers might be a little tired. Your best bet would speak to either Gwyn Lewis or Dave Round at LLama, google either of them and look at their web site, they are guy's with a lot of knowledge and are always happy to give advice.

I was reading this thinking what sort of member is this guy then I realised you mean Auto A not Arb A

A 130 has a spring inside the main spring on the rear axle, IIRC our 110 is plated for 3050 and the 130 is 3500. If you will be towing with it and you have a choice then it has to be a TD5, a 200 or 300 are good reliable engines but lack the bit of extra power when going up hills when loaded and towing. Having said that our 130 which is a 200 tdi has done 187,000 miles and tows a chipper or grinder most days. There is normally a few here Top 4x4 sites .co.uk - Listing of 4x4 and offroad related sites on the web!

The 25m radius increased a couple of years ago, cant remember off the top of my what it is now but will check tomorrow.

Its not actually in the aquadrome, just near to it. We was there three years ago at the Land Rover show when there was a storm and trees and branches were falling down all over the place. I left during the storm and driving along the M1 was very strange, when you leave Northampton heading north it is tree lined to your left, the M1 was green with small dia branches, twigs and leaves, never seen anything like it before. No one was overtaking just driving the inside lane realy steady.

True and I am just on my to the pub. Its in lengths at the moment, average dia is 600cms. Good access. Johnny, I will give you a bell tomorrow, get practicing your dry stone walling:thumbup:

We have approx 15 tonne of poplar free of charge by Billing Aquadrome if anyone is interested. Bob 01902 892652 - 07976 662312

I knew you would as soon as I read your first post, your that kind of person.

B*5t*rds. Unfortunatey they are just doing their jobs, this is what they do for a living, every day while you and I are working with trees they are looking to take your possesions, doesn't matter what, anything will do.

These checks are getting more often around by us, tank dipping for red as well.

Where are you?

I have a bundle of Yew sticks approx 4'/5' long x average 2" dia, I guess there would be around 50.
