  1. Indeed that exemption could apply but as soon as you load any goods the exemption ceases to apply
  2. Are you saying the chipper is exempt because its plant?
  3. So what if the commercial vehicle is empty, that's not hauling goods? The plant thing is a red herring
  4. http://www.myerscough.ac.uk/
  5. You are misinformed, the break away cable is to activate the brakes, its the brakes that stop it. The system is only as good as your maintenance
  6. Yes they can stop you and they can indeed put a marker on your vehicle. I once bought a vehicle with a marker for fuel from 2 keepers ago. Stopped 3 times in a month before the penny dropped. The marker pings the ANPR system so there is no getting away from it
  7. Quickchip was an invention of Fletcher Stuart who now trade as Stien. Back in the day they re badged German machines made by Tünnissen and Stocks. TS has since merged with saleen (frenchies) and now trade as TS industrie https://www.ts-industrie.eu/
  8. The thing thing with modern learning is that everyone involved is scared of a bad "ofseading" so they don't want anything else getting in the way of their teaching. Better grades make for a better ofstead report. That's why they want you to keep the learning compartmentalised, they don't trust you, errr I mean, your time management to do both at once.
  9. Hmmmmm Well that's not what the website says Anything below L2 involves making sure you can remember to tie your shoe laces. Who did that answer come from?
  10. Just to add a little context to the responses to date, the majority if the "go for it" gang are making a go of the trade, the ones that had a go and thought bugger this for a game of soldiers are on another forum (plumbing or something of that nature) and aren't here to offer a counter opinion. Just saying.....
  11. Well no but the questions are for an online theory course. He is going to get the practical element with Kingswood.
  12. Like I said earlier, the purpose of the question is to assess the students current level of knowledge so that the training can be its most effective. Its not a pass or fail test, its an assessment of the students needs
  13. This search should have the answers in it https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=tree+survey+template+sheet&rlz=1C1YBKB_enGB505GB747&oq=tree+survey+template+sheet&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i64&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  14. Rather than us answering for you, which isn't going to get you any benefit in terms of a learning outcome, why not google them and offer your answer here. We can then offer help. There is also the issue that the purpose of the questions is to assess the students current level of knowledge and cribbing the answers here is going to skew that process
  15. There are a number of pathogens that like the species you cited, the badly over hybridised cherry is a good example of nature running a red pen through mans best efforts.
  16. I just tested my MD3006ss (china special via a car boot sale) It finds my damascus knife at 18", it has saved much saw sharpening in the past
  17. This is true, but only in the unnatural state that man keeps livestock, In the wild natural wear would take care of things
  18. The thing with shod animals is that its done to protect the hoof, which in turn means it needs a periodical trim
  19. Its still "internet truth" and doesn't stand analysis. A horse shoe lasts about 6 weeks. Only the first mm or so would get any work hardening, and would also wear away as quick as it hardened, assuming the animal was on a paved surface and not on agricultural duty (as most were). Just because someone put it on the net doesn't make it so
  20. Cant find it in the original either http://www.castlegunmakers.co.uk/blog/2014/04/28/damascus-barreled-shotguns/ so it seems it was indeed an urban myth, all be it in the making. Busted
  21. I am missing that part where it says The spring steel element would be plenty to give the part strength, the pattern welding is a decorative touch and in real terms reduces the strength if the part.
  22. Hmmmmmmm that sounds a bit urban made up to me, hoof grows and shoes wear out and are replaced regularly, the nails aren't re used so they aren't in use anything like long enough for any work hardening to take place. It would also be a PITA to forge weld something as small as nails in a meaningful billet and the losses to scale would be huge unless you went to the trouble of canister welding it all, in short, nice story but unlikely
  23. They aren't particularly soft but the ends are thin enough to be bent over or "clenched"
