  1. thats rubbish mate
  2. do a search on the forum there have been a few threads with alternatives.
  3. I thought i read somewhere they were chinese built? If thats the case stay well clear i had a look at them at the apf they did look a bit "tinny"
  4. I like the "could" part in the title, they have no intention of doing this, its just another (soon to be broken) promise to appease the working class. These schemes are unworkable they end up getting run by do gooders who have not got the balls to make sure these long term unemployables go to there "work".
  5. thanks stevie!! i just clicked on that and fell fast asleep i lost about 10 year off my life
  6. yeah Stevie i think thats mine i lost it in a field just outside inverness its a two handed ascender with a ball lock karabiner, maillon rapide and a length of rope all attached to the ascender. i think you will find that description fits it, i will pm you my address.
  7. i did not know that huck!! how much are you supose to pay to recieve a state pension? so what would happen in the retiring situation the state would give you nothing?.
  8. same here, the writing is white and i can hardly read it
  9. Nice shape to that As long as the client is happy thats all that matters
  10. Mate im not embarassed to say that choked me up, you have more courage than i can imagine, i dont know what i would do if i lost my wife and my kids lost there mum. I wish you nothing but happiness from here on in mate. Massive respect and admiration.
  11. Very true i got a plasma with mine and one of those harness things for the staffie
  12. Whats wrong with you all? nowt wrong with free money
  13. There you go Paul its first outing for about 8 year after getting rebuilt, garden was totally enclosed and they would not let us through the house, so i carried it up and down ladders, it was quite slow but it done the job and made some money. went down about 4 inches then i threw a bag of sharp sand in the hole, jobs a good un.
  14. Its mental they would put you out of business:thumbdown: Would they rather have you on the dole?
  15. "My van is a ford transit tipper with tool box inbetween the bed and cab. Empty weight is 2550kg approx, which leaves me roughly a tonne to play with for green waste (or chip)". The empty weight is that acounting all your tools and you and the groundie in the pick up? If not you better add another 250 kg to the figure giving you a total of 2800kg giving you 700kg for chip etc. to be fair like most you will be overloaded most of the time with chip especially if it rains even with a roof.
  16. Do you have to get the client to sign a docket mick? surely you have the address where the chip comes from as it was the last job, im sure we all do jobs where you only see the client when you price it so they are not there to sign for there waste getting taken away. They have a neck on them even suggesting fineing you when you have jumped through as many hoops as that, there are plenty running about dumping everywhere but they wont stop them. You have your name on the van pay your tax so you are almost classed as an easy target as you WILL pay the fine if they give you one!!!
  17. mmmm i would not be happy if that rabble was waiting as i stepped off the plane, it takes long enough to get through that terminal 5 without a bunch of drama students murdering songs and holding everthing up. Not for me that
  18. Can you not run your existing company from a distance? perhaps using one of your guys as manager, rent your property out then move into rented accommodation, then in your new area start another branch of your own company? Give yourself a year to make it work if it is not going how you thought move back. Good luck with what ever you decide mate. nice website by the way.
