  1. Was aweful an hour or two ago. Just came off it. Seems ok now
  2. I used to find them transit keys wore really fast.... Then you had to do the up down giggle wiggle in the key hole to get it to work. The ignition barrel would take a polished near non existent key but the doors were a pain! Wasn't worth the hassle of the battery running out in the remote! At like 12.00 for a new remote and battery lol
  3. Martin Lewis on ITV now helping and discussing
  4. Said in jest to follow on from other comments I must admit I'm not one of them... I want more brass for me and my family than shiny kit... Kit lost its appeal to me a while ago. I pay my fair share of tax just wonder if they're going to help after I've made my contributions yearly
  5. Just a few days left to try run at a monumental loss so no tax to pay but then no help off government. Either lol
  6. It offers some parity with the employee scheme - 80% of profits up to £2,500 a month for three months initially. Unlike the employee scheme, the self-employed can continue to work. It is targeted at up to 3.8 million of the 5 million people registered as self-employed, who earn under £50k. The money, backdated till March, will arrive directly into people's banks accounts from HMRC as a lump sum for all three months, but not until June. The grants will be taxable, and will need to be declared on tax returns by January 2022.
  7. UK government unveils aid for self-employed WWW.BBC.CO.UK The self-employed will be paid up to £2,500 a month to help them cope... Read this. Self employed can continue to work it says
  8. Can't remember. Just saw the red mist and turned him off lol
  9. Grant avaliable from June. .. what a crock of shit
  10. I'm thinking downing tools is the way to go now.
  11. Yes. Delivery drivers essential. Checkout workers essential. NHS workers essential. Trimming trees bushes hedges or grass.... Come on
  12. All depends if your going to continue to work for now or down tools.for starters. Doubt youd get away with felling stuff etc just for economy and financial gain for people / developers
  13. We used to have the gd105 but wasn't too happy with it. Single leaf spring and those 13" tyres with big soft sidewalls.... Horrible trailer when full of logs would weave about behind you even when weight properly distributed. Was fine with just machines on. The gx106 is a lot better trailer. We have full ramp. Twin leaf spring and better wheels and tyres makes all the difference! Great trailer
  14. Sorry to mock a serious thread but its like trying to work this out also......
  15. Was going to flog my old rifle I kept as a cheapo if I decided to have a shoot again but still got it.
  16. You not get that sorted the tongue tie? My little lad had it and at hosp was a quick cut and done... Hasn't stopped eating like a horse since!!
  17. Have you ever got a quote for it? I remember years ago I had a quote for some ins... Can't remember payment but they would pay out 500 pcm.... I just laughed at them and said what do you think that's going to cover. Taking insurance out for no earnings is stupid in my opinion. Cut your cloth accordingly and be right with your brass
  18. Today's : Laura Ashley called in administrators... Car phone ware house closing all stores so 2900 jobs to go.... Lots been in a downward trend for a while and now this virus milarky...
  19. I though it would do nothing for us eggs.... Maybe 3 months freeze on mortgage etc Was hoping they'd knock council tax on the head etc.... Nothing about tax relief etc.... Most folk still have second payments in July and books will be going in soon.... No good if works slow and can't pay tax as you go. All they offered was grants for businesses to get into more debt to paddle out this shit storm. The removal of business rates sounds good but who's GNA go where and shop etc on a shut down? Crackers
  20. I used to run a little 8x4 plant trailer years ago and was ok at the time. Then got a 10x5 plant trailer.... miles better being that foot wider and still narrower than the truck. Then upgraded to a 10x6 better still! Yes it is a big bastrd and does stick out either side of the truck but would never go back. Every now and again think how a small plant trailer be ideal now and again but can't beat this big donkey 10x6
  21. Spot on and I gladly would. Shame all I have dealt with have been a shower of shite. Wouldnt buy a new machine again. For me prefer to run older and fix myself nowadays. Had fingers burnt too many times. Keep doing the good service!
  22. Ohh dear John! Least winch is on the front ey?
  23. Right cheers for that. So ok for this coming winters stock then after that only orders 2 cube and over or give up?
  24. Is this going to be a must from Apr 2021?
