Mayweather is richer than McGregor.

I’ve never seen a TPO stipulation that the tree has to be the same species before. Jules?

Cheers for recommending this kit Muttley, that’s the one I went for. I’m really pleased with it.

Package from Merlin arrived today. Great fun after work, 2 in the gold from 10 yards! Kit seems brilliant, and Connie Hood is well chuffed with her starter kit. Big thanks to @Gav73 for putting me on to Merlin.

Brilliant.

If you’re happy there mate, fair play, you’ve cracked it.

Fine ‘up to’ £1000. If they can afford an Aston they probably don’t care. Surprised it’s not 2021, like. Although that could be on his wife's car I suppose.

Depends if you need 4x4 or not for the actual work and tipping off. Transit size trucks have a lot more capacity. Super/king cab is better for gear storage, but again reduces capacity.

I’m not, if that helps?

Cuntishness?

I do feel sorry for the first timers though. Young couple - ‘Can we have a mortgage?’. Bank - ‘No, you can’t afford £500/ month’. Young couple - ‘We are paying £1000/month rent now, we can afford £500/month mortgage’. Bank - ‘Well how come you can’t raise a 15% deposit then?’. Young couple - ‘Because we are paying £1000/month rent). Not an easy problem to fix.

House ownership is a privilege, not a right. Retired Climber has made a very valid point.

Saved. £15k down on a £75k house. I had a good job then, like.
-
I do, actually. Buy a house in the ‘90’s, like I did.
-
Mortgages are back down to about 3 1/2 times annual income. If you’re on £30k you can probably buy a bathroom these days. It’s a big problem, and I don’t know what the fix is.

Big tree TT, nicely done.

Lumberjock, it’s considered very bad form on here to ask for advice and then actually take it. Have a word with yourself!
-
Or the insurance.
-
The problem is if you pay £15/hr at the bottom end, it spirals upwards pretty quickly, and the system crashes.
-
Yup.
-
It’s obviously acceptable because people are paying it.

I was a junior engineer for McAlpines in the early ‘90’s. Thursday night was McAlpines night in the local. Always a ‘big night’. This was back in the days of ‘lock ins’. I witnessed blokes heading into their caravan in the morning after a lift from the bar, quick change of clothes, and into the cab of a Cat 215 or a D6, and put a full shift in. Unbelievable. I’d be puking both ends of the night trying to keep up with them. We built the road though.
