  1. hoping to see the video:biggrin:
  2. 123 million litres of fuel sold every day in the UK Thats £123,000,000 raised for the government every day About £1 billion per week About £52 billion a year statistics thats about 500,000 double decker busses or 100 billion mars bars:thumbup:
  3. I've tried all these The secret as has been revealed is fresh eggs preferably from your own chooks
  4. Every business is always looking out for ways to reduce costs- thats the way of the world. Got to admit you're right about wages being beaten down to lowest- I'd hate to see that. I can't see it changing though since the unions screwed it up in the 70's. My old dad was constantly brought out on strike (engineeering) and he said later that they never made their money back. Just led to new working practices designed to reduce labour inputs. Back in those days guys would go into work and sleep their shift. Thats how bad it got
  5. Thing is its likely you've walked away from a job that has cost you maybe £100 in time etc What if you had done it for £1500 You could have lost £1000 and probably peed off the guys who work for you as you'd have been slave driving. So... best all round
  6. Bridge goes south Steve- come on wake up:001_tt2: It would be funny though
  7. I see Andy You're getting as cynical as me Must be an age thing:biggrin: I hate the government Spent nearly 2 hours yesterday trying to go north through the Dartford tunnel Massive queues Just for the pleasure of paying for a bridge that we have already paid for. Once through the tolls everything fine- I just can't get my head round why they have this system. Even on the way back the traffic wombles had closed the slipway onto the M25 for no apparent reason and we had to detour north 4 miles in bad traffic to get back on the M25 where there were no queues trying to go south- As we drove past the closed slip road it was completely clear with a womble sat at the far end still stopping traffic using it. Can't say anything to the toll operative or you get arrested so end up wound up. It's just a toll to pay people to collect a toll and in the process we get to waste thousands of man hours and gallons of fuel- WTF Rant over
  8. Don't you just love the modern day customer. I'd have said sure I'll do it for that and you clean up:001_tt2:
  9. what was it the guy off the streets said They know their rights but they don't know their wrongs:001_rolleyes:
  10. very interesting that these tanker drivers are on 45K How hard can it be I mean compared to working in trees I'm sure our H&S is more complicated than theirs Anyway- if you can train up navy drivers to take over in the event in one day then surely it's not that complicated
  11. Haven't used red since we had a duff barrel of it that knackered the injectors on the mini digger. Maybe I need to rethink It would have to be delivered in say 25litre containers Not sure of the savings- I wouldn't want the unit stinking of diesel from a leak
  12. Fire now in 20 degrees during the day 5 degrees at night
  13. Also interested in if it is OK for timberwolf chippers
  14. What about a 3 year old vauxhall vivaro
  15. would that really work I'd like to think so
  16. Has anyone stopped and thought for a minute There seems to me every time we start getting peed off with the price of fuel. There is some rumour of shortages and then we all are happy to pay whatever to get our mitts on supplies Some sort of reminder by the powers that be that we should be grateful that we've got fuel methinks. Bring on £2 a litre
  17. business not the busiest - more of fits and spurts and this allows us to respond quickly to work requests which is good for clients. You can't let bad payers screw your business I take it you mean FC not paying you If so - write to your MP It may ruffle a few feathers
  18. It's a bit like calling yourself a tree surgeon Accountant is a name anyone can call themselves but have they qualifications and best of all experience. I could be a gardener today, a tree surgeon tomorrow and an accountant Friday. Might know diddly squit about all three Employ an accountant who has either been recommended or you've done some checking round- Oh I forgot- get quotes Preferably 12:001_tt2:
  19. read through arbtalk- theres loads
  20. blimey mate- your app tells you which pump to use:001_smile:
  21. Brilliant analogy
  22. If you want chip we sometimes work in Sevenoaks/Tonbridge/Edenbridge area PM me your details and I'll drop some off if close by
  23. Maybe its because stihl provide a patching kit with every pair They do melt easily:sneaky2:
  24. Nice proportions Nice weight Only thing that would annoy me is the waney edge Did the customer say anything to this effect
