  1. It depends of what your doing i guess, as say a one man band plumber, sparks etc then i guess no its not as you buy limited tools etc but in the tree game everything i buy Tools, Fuel, vans, chippers etc etc all have vat on so i may as well get it back, theres lads round me who trade on not being VAT reg but what they don't realise is there running costs are much higher than mine, basically IMO if your in business and having to deal with other businesses for what ever reason its better to be VAT reg.
  2. Unpaid yes but your reward is being able to claim back all the vat others have charged you that you wouldn’t be able to if you weren’t vat reg!
  3. That's harsh Eggs! remember the 660 of Johns? who told porkies then! I think Mike has it nailed! Ok i confess i was doing 55mph, she got a wiggle on so i slowed down and all was good, that shounds shit though so i went for the 120 story.
  4. Ok ok, fair cop it was actually 110mph not 120!
  5. I got a snake on with our loader on the back of the Landy on the motorway, I just floored it to 120 and all was good, I have big balls though !
  6. The great man! one of my lifelong hero's.
  7. I'm on my third engine from new, the Honda one was crap from the off and never ran right, let go after a year so i just 13hp chinky engines on it, there new for about 200 quid and to be honest i have had v little if any trouble from them. 20 mins to swap over, its a 1" shaft, these engines on small grinders have a hard life but at a couple hundred a year it earns far more in that time.
  8. I agree, Emma is v nice, that Humphries bloke looked a bit of a nonce!
  9. Obviously not that safe then!
  10. Never met the guy but always sad to loose a long term member of the forum, RIP Felix .
  11. It’s dead or it soon will be, hard to say why but it’s v unlikely to be from the trees next door be interested to know why.
  12. They look like there made for Pepper Pig! Ineos Grenadier for me.

    I just got the g660 to go on my mill instead of tying up one of the 660’s looks well enough-built and nicely finished, see how it lasts!
  14. Looks like even Arb gear cant wait to get out of Liverpool!

    Stihl ultra

    Been on Aspen fir about 4 yrs now and only had one Dolmar go pop but that went pop on pump fuel as well , basically pump fuel is getting worse yearly for small engines .
  20. Probably have the chance to make it up to a full 50 quid with over time though!

    Stump grinding

    Depends on machine, if you can get 850 for 4 small stumps your doing well, Leeds area you would be lucky to get half that!
