    Traps are very effective so long as you know how to set them properly If you don't fancy killing then drive in cedar stakes in the runs as they don't like the smell

    I think you're doing really well to have only £5000 owed Mines about average 4 times that It all gets paid eventually so no point in falling out about it Bird in the hand being better than 2 in the bush

    Didn't watch it all but the reality is that a system like this already exists Its called peer to peer lending Zopa were pioneering in this field and have been operating for about 5 years Google it Returns have been about 5% for me since 2008 which is not fantastic but OK for me and cuts out the middle man.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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:
