Getting some paint on the old girl whilst I'm getting over broken collar bone. Thing is once you start.....

In another thread some one stated they wouldn't do a job if payment terms over 30 days. These nurses and doctors spent years in training, earning nothing and spending lots before they earnt a penny. ♩ Now they maximise their earning potential. Why when we do it it is good business and when doctors and nurses do it it's wrong?

This island must be close to me.

We all understand the ways of the market place. How we price our log and services effects how busy we are and how much money we make. There's no market place in the NHS. It's a state monopoly and that means it's an imperfect system. How much would change if we all paid insurance. The smokers hammered on premiums, the skinny climbers' premiums reduced and the oldies bled dry. Not sure any of us could stomach that but I for one am grateful to the doctor that saw my kid at 3am when he was writhing in pain. I didn't have to think about the effect on my premium or decide to wait until working hours. Whatever the doctor was being paid that night she was worth it.

There's lots of Dr bashing in the papers as well as by politicians. No wonder they want to leave.

I had same problem and ended up buying box profile. Don't regret it now.

I guess they can.

The companies stayed within the law. The law needs to change. How many folk here pay themselves a small wage and the rest as a dividend? Perfectly legal but a tax break none the less. Those companies are doing the same.

Penalise the poor? Or do you mean incentivise the poor?

I wonder how far an insurance company would dig. Surely they'd suss it. I'm glad my pal's recovery contract not in doubt... He shot some video and sent it to AA!

A holiday maker took his disco 4 up into the woods and got stuck in a ditch. Local agent for aa etc asked me to pop up in tractor with him and pull him out. We arrived with chain, strops and shackles. Got non stop threats of suing us if I put a scratch on the motor or damaged it pulling it out. Now considering he's wedged it against a couple of trees and a boulder we packed up the gear and left him still shouting abuse. Gather it was there for another 24 hours until it was dragged out rather unceremoniously by another outfit. Saw it on the back of the truck not straight on any direction. He was trespassing, stuffed his motor into ditch at speed but then its someone else's fault if any damage occurs removing it?! These folk live amongst us!

Always difficult putting a yard in a field. Was that the crux?
-
What madness! I manage the woods on my farm. Split logs where tree lands in field and that area of field is suddenly industrial????? Aye right.

Don't the middle class have to work?

They've got to keep making rules up or they'll be out of a job. They don't create, or produce, they just leach.

Stem injection to kill mature Spruce trees
ballibeg replied to [email protected]'s topic in General chat
I've used a kill technique on the edge of a plantation to feather the edge for a declining black grouse population. The dying trees gave the grouse somewhere to fly into when seeking cover. The hard edged plantation didn't offer that. Not sure you've black grouse in your equation. -
Just reshodding my 4000, 2wd right enough but all in £650 BKTs.

I agree Kubota, something like a Kubota L3250 would tick the boxes. http://www.patrickedwardsmachinery.co.uk/current-stock/tractors/

Loving the 'how we learnt' stories. I didn't have chance to offer any tips to the driver. Too keen to get my broken collar bone off duty!

Anyone use vented bags for seasoning, storage and delivery?
ballibeg replied to farmer_ben's topic in Firewood forum
I do same. Works well. -
Young delivery driver just overshot neighbour's hard standing and got stuck in the soft in his big merc van. Neighbour's got a 2012 Landrover 130. Could they pull it out? Nope. They did tear up the drive trying though. After two hours van driver popped around to me. He was on his way 5 minutes later. Landover in novice hands- 0 Ford 4000- 1 I'm not sure what they were doing wrong. Surely you'd stick a Landover in low and slowly ease it along? It wasn't badly stuck. Dave

Last time this happened to me one of the teeth was damaged that sat in the bar. Eventually got workmate to admit chain jumped off and wrapped itself around catcher causing the damage.
