Teaching Maths In 1980 A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100. His cost of production is 80% of the price. What is his profit? 3. Teaching Maths In 1990 logger sells a truckload of timber for £100. His cost of production is £80. How much was his profit? 4. Teaching Maths In 2000 A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100. His cost of production is £80 and his profit is £20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20. 5. Teaching Maths In 2005 A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and ares nothing for the habit of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. Your assignment: Discuss how the birds and squirrels might feel as the loggers cut down their homes just for a measly profit of £20. 6. Teaching Maths In 2009 A logger is arrested for trying to cut down a tree in case it may be offensive to Muslims or other religious groups not consulted in the felling licence. He is also fined a £100 as his chainsaw is in breach of Health and Safety legislation as it deemed too dangerous and could cut something.. He has used the chainsaw for over 20 years without incident however he does not have the correct certificate of competence and is therefore considered to be a recidivist and habitual criminal. His DNA is sampled and his details circulated throughout all government agencies. He protests and is taken to court and fined another £100 because he is such an eas target. When he is released he returns to find Gypsies have cut down half his wood to build a camp on his land. He tries to throw them off but is arrested, prosecuted for harassing an ethnic minority, imprisoned and fined a further £100. While he is in jail again the Gypsies cut down the rest of his wood and sell it on the black market for £100 cash. They also have a departure BBQ of squirrel and pheasant and leave behind several tonnes of rubbish and asbestos sheeting. The forester on release is warned that failure to clear the fly tipped rubbish immediately at his own cost is an offence. He complains and is arrested for environmental pollution, breach of the peace and invoiced £12,000 plus VAT for safe disposal costs by a regulated government contractor. Your assignment: How many times is the logger going to have to be arrested and fined before he realises that he is never going to make £20 profit by hard work, give up, sign onto the dole and liv off the state for the rest of his life? 7. Teaching Maths In 2010 A logger doesn’t sell a lorry load of timber because he can’t get a loan to buy a new lorry because his bank has spent all his and their money on a derivative of securitised debt related to sub- prime mortgages in Alabama and lost the lot with only some government money left to pay a few million pound bonuses to their senior directors and the traders who made the biggest losses. The logger struggles to pay the £1,200 road tax on his old lorry however, as it was built in the 1970s it no longer meets the emissions regulations and he is forced to scrap it. Some Bulgarian loggers buy the lorry from the scrap merchant and put it back on the road. They undercut everyone on price for haulage and send their cash back home, while claiming unemployment for themselves and their relatives. If questioned they speak no English and it is easier to deport them at the governments expense. Following their holiday back home they return to the UK with different names and fresh girls and start again. The logger protests, is accused of being a bigoted racist and as his name is on the side of his old lorry he is forced to pay £1,500 registration fees as a gang master.. The Government borrows more money to pay more to the bankers as bonus's are not cheap. The parliamentarians feel they are missing out and claim the difference on expenses and allowances. You do the maths. 8. Teaching Maths 2017 أ المسجل تبيع حموله شاحنة من الخشب من اجل 100 دولار. صاحب تكلفة الانتاج

dont think it would have been paraquat as it is now banned and it only affects any green leaf it touches and has no affect on roots most weeds unless very small will recover so dont think it would affect trees I stand to be corrected if wrong

sorry guys just found this thread and our new defender not 3 years old yet and only done 6000 miles been in workshop for about 12 month -8 times and still no garuntee that the non starting has been fixed so after getting rid of a good 1988 series 3 I will not be able to join this club as much as I used to love my laandy

yea. I, and I'm sure every firewood dealer on here has a "tip site"like that one

just revised the budget and will have to pay nearer £600 fora decent saw

no fixed budget as I would rather pay a bit more for the right saw as but cheap and then regret not spending a bit more for right saw but was looking to pay around £400 do most of the maintainance myself (was a pro cutter in a previous life) but use the dealer for more technical stuff

HI I know this has probably been asked before but cant seem to find it I gonna be forced to replace my ageing husky 55 soon and now husky dealer local has retired but someone else now started to deal in stihl (next nearest husky dealer more than80 miles away) so was wondering what was the stihl equivalent I would consider myself as semipro not full time woodcutter but not wanting just a "garden saw either" never had anything to do with stihl as tended to use what was availible loca.l thanks

Rowan is known hereabouts as the witches tree as they used to hang the witches from them in days gone bye and still considered bad luck to cut one down I have worked with pro cutters who flatly refused to cut one down----so cut them at your own peril!!!!!!!!

got the 10 ton electric driven one and cant fault it only replaced one of the cables in 4 years a wee bit slow but think it only refused to split 2 bits in all that time also great service from M Large tree services mine was one of the first he imported
