Stupid thing is your damned if you do damned if you don't..... Insurance will cop out if only using one rope...... Insurance will cop out if using two ropes and not having a cert of competance to climb that way. It's all a load of bollox

Exactly the key point here. Mine uses Xero and we can both access it any time. Think Xero is like 22.00 pcm though!

We use Xero. Quite a good package. Had a few issues crop up now and again but does it's job ok

Yes

Can you use a cordless angle grinder to make a slot in the head of the bolt? then either use a screw driver or a chisel to undo

I know its not the same as looking in person but Barchams sometimes do a buy tree No : when selecting what you want.... Might have 5 different tree's on with picture numbers and can pick which one you want that way. Always had good service from Barchams on several occasions.

Sounds like a clear fell job, get logs out to roadside, brash in rows then send a tractor and forestry mulcher in to biltz brash.

Sums parts of it up quite well

In fairness Mick, thats what i currently do, current account then to business account.... moneys hard earnt enough without giving the bank a chunk of it. Banks a pain to get to thus wondering if people use a building society etc or have other ways to kerb the inconvenience of getting it in the business

Eggs it makes F all difference.... the job is quoted for and invoiced. Payment in cash still needs to go in against the invoice. Problem in nowadays lot of older folks are still cash is king bollox. 10-15 years ago yes. Nowadays you need to put money through your account to draw it out. You need to earn enough to borrow money for house, equipment and all sorts. Some people may only get paid cash so have to bank it... or how do they pay their bills? Time of life dictates things also. Have a young family, house and wife etc.... can't pay all bills with cash or hmrc want to know how you live. 50 odd year old working 3-4 days a week on the books and a day cash is different. Depends how much ambition you have in life I suppose

30 year old here and no pension as of yet. Been looking into buying a couple of houses but dont want the hassle.... Also like the look of the LISA for retirement and drawing at 60 yr old. 25% top up pa off the government. Can put up to 4k a year into it. Also need to sort a basic pension aswell. Need to move savings about as doing naff all at current place. But all the places doing better offers...... never heard of them! Also thought about going ltd and paying myself a pension out of my profits before tax Need to pull my finger out! Interesting topic for me this is.

Also interested to know

Start up on your own then. Your too concerned about 'supposidly' how much your boss is earning. The grass isnt always greener you know

Somewhere to go for a crap on site! Ace. Living the dream there Stephen

Fairy dust is no good here

Just wondering how people go about this? I find cash nowadays a pain. Costs to pay in etc and prefer bank transfers or cheques..... More costly to pay in also! What do people do? do you run a petty cash account? bang in in a building society (no fees) On things like logs and chip etc or small sales of products to new customers better to get paid there and then but still to get it into the bank. No daft answers please. Cheers

Born and bred Yorkshire man me. Not my fault they diddled us years ago and moved us into Lancashire! You have to admit it is a fair lump like. I remember my 441 being 750 Inc long while ago mind
-
Yikes! Just been looking at new price on the 462 and 500..... nearly a grand with vat. When did they get so dear? I remember my 660 was cheaper! Bloomin hecky
-
Not tried one. Only seen one in the flesh on a saw shop rack. Plastic etc looked shitter than ever.... Wouldn't be for me Good luck on your choice either way. I have been looking at a replacement 70cc saw for a while. Would.have liked a 461 but will get a 462 in the next couple of months.

No doubt AA will cash in somewhere along the line. Wonder if AA contractors will have to be re assessed now then as should be on two lines... Should do imo! They won't be happy I bet at extra costs. I could go on but what's the point. Shite situation by some pricks with a clip board.
-
Massively pissed off with this. Lot of the points that have been raised are valid. Wish we had someone with a stronger back bone to find some direction etc. This cannot be just thrown on us. As said above, trainers need guidance, then new courses and quale, new equipt to sort use and get used to. No confidence in the AA at all from me. Very dissapointed

So was my 2016 tw230 and my 2019 ifor. Cut the plugs off and put 7 pin on to match my trucks. There's only one extra wire in there that's not needed.

Love the contrast on these threads.... Some are scared to death about brake downs and run new and finance... Some are handy with spanners and happy to run older. Both new and old can brake down. From my own experiences I would not buy new again. Service and warranty shocking. It seems like once firms have your money it doesn't matter. All I say is buy the best you can afford within reason. And horses for courses
