  1. Your making it sound like Scottish cleaning is back πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Your not working undercover here are you πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  2. Β£10 an hr you will probably get some one who does about 5-6 trees in the day, smokes about 10 joints and thinks he has had a busy day. I would like to know what saw is provided ? who supplies the fuel n oil ? who supplies PPE ?
  3. There is a massive one in Halifax on Gordon street πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  4. I want to become a instructor !! how do i start !! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚,,
  5. Your Track Marshall would of been capable of doing the ploughing your doing with not much bother i would of thought,,, where are the County,s at now all 3 worth a pretty penny today but i would say you did what a lot of others did and traded em for some thing more modern and comfortable just like a guy i work with he traded his 1174 for a heap of trouble Renault...
  6. They did,nt have any Cornflakes, due to a HGV driver shortage which is all down to some bright spark altering the laws on trailer towing in the 90s which is now coming to light, and all boils down to the same old thing, MONEY,
  7. Bollox i have just bought some Rice Krispies πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  8. Thats interesting as in a conversation with someone the other day i said diesel dont even smell like diesel used to smell, if you got some one your hands or clothing you could smell it all day and it was still there if you had washed your hands ? today its gone, got a drum of Red in the shed that had water in it and i just use it to wash parts off in and that is still red, filled digger up on Friday with some red i bought the wk before, it has been in a clear drum in a woodland for what 8-10 days and that has changed colour to brown a bit like tea ??.
  9. NO just WD40 and it and wipe with a old rag and thats it, to T Cut it is taking the value and age away from it, A customer has just sprayed a ford 7840 to tidy it up for sale and was not very impressed when i said, you have spent a wk on it and Β£60 on paint just to devalue it by about 2k, not a happy bunny as when he asked some one else they said if should of been left alone as it was tidy enough and it would of been worth 2-3k more,
  10. Good i am glad to hear that, as there is far to much memrobilia just chucked out these days, and my dad is one of the worst, its not long since i went for some old news papers and just grabbed a hand full, then about 2 wk later in amongst the papers was a BSA A10 workshop manual and a parts list dated 1966 put it up for sale and thank you very much Β£32 + pp i then tell my dad and he holds his hand out ?? i want me money, you chucked it away in the bin and binmen wont give you owt for it,
  11. I know of several people who would love to own them tins and more so if not opened, they are man cave decorations and very sought after these days, they have a far greater value now than when you purchased them, i had a 1 gallon agri Castrol oil can that i had Creosote in and i chucked it due to corrosion on the bottom as it leaked slightly, later so one for sale at a Auto jumble for Β£30,, used to use Castrol R40 or Cazzy R as it was better know as in my Fizzy loved the smell of it and still do,
  12. Just watched that and i can see where the difficulties lie, its not for me, but i do like a challange,,,
  13. Eleven plus first, dont be rushing it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  14. Did move out once. then back again, then out again and so on over a 2 year span but never changed address on licence as by time it was back from DVLA i would of had to do it again,
  15. Personally i think the problem of the driver shortage stems back to the 90s when the driving licence was altered, first of all it cost every one more to to get to the stage where you could drive a HGV, Back when i past my driving test in 82, you could pass your test on a monday morning and then jump straight in to a 7,5 tonner and tow a 4,5 tonne trailer, , many lads i know including myself where chucked in to 7,5 tonners the day after we passed our test, some then went on to wait till they where 21 and then did a class 1, From 95 when the changes came in who wanted to spend there money on doing several different tests to get to where you could get a few years prier with very little expence ? I dont really know 100% how it works at present. but its just like a lot of other things we have in life it has just been a money making scam set up by who was in Government at the time, Tony Tosser, There was no foresight in to what was going to happen years down the line and supprise supprise here we are, as others have said it is nothing to do with brexit or coming out of the EU it goes back much further, Talking last night with some one about driving licences and he said that i should have a photo driving licence but i havent, i still have the pink and green paper one, and again when the photo licence was introduced it cost you Β£20 and i believe you need to renew it every 5 years ? so thats another way of getting money out of us, if we think about it if we renew every 5 year and pass our driving test at 17 and we drive till we are 82 thats 13 driving licence renewals at Β£20 a time and how many people have driving licences ?, At the time when the photo licence was introduced how many people where sucked in because it was new and they just had to have one !! i just said F _ _ K em they gave me a new driving licence with a expieory date on and thats how its staying till i go in the nursing home,, we are just getting ripped of today with shit loads of stuff we dont even notice. Holiday tax, insurance tax and quarry tax its mad,
  16. Garage/garden centre/pet store had a crate full in where all the BBQ gear is about 4 wk ago and when i went for my dog food last wk i asked about them, said he sold the full crate in 2 days, 120 at Β£5 each and been asked dozens of times since if he had any more,
  17. Next thing you will be telling us you had your shorts and your Take That vest top on πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  18. So what did you do after lunch ? πŸ˜‚
  19. Read the reply back to Markj on page 2 please, and i have just seen the photos this morning, so sorry no media shit mate its first hand from the white cliffs of Dover
  20. Dinghies they all add up and put more strain on our all ready stretched economy and services, My cousin was down south house sitting about 3 wk ago, and one day she went for a walk along the cliffs at Dover, she said we are not being told about all the Dinghies coming across she said there was dozens of them, now she aint one to get wound up about things like this, but what she so did wind her up more than i have ever seen her before, she all so added if i had not seen it for my self i would not of believed it, so she went back for another walk on the Friday and same again,
  21. Well just watching news Night and it seems if you have got loads of money you will be only affected slightly !!! This country is going to be in such a state if some one dont get a grip and take responsabilaty for some major **************** ups, some from many years ago, some from 20/30 years ago and some that we have now, No nationwide rail network like we had, so every thing moved with lorries today by road and a lot of roads are not fit to drive on ?, but now a massive driver shortage, fuel supplies running out fast, Air pollution/climate change has finally been noticed even thou it has been mentioned 10s of millions of times since 1972,,,, moved fast on that one didnt we but there is a big world meeting next month so all that will be sorted out, To many Dinghies coming on to our shores at the moment, and they will all be given houses and some finance, but paid jack shit in ??? BUT its cost Β£1000s before them people off the Dinghies have reached the top of the beach with dozens of coppers and imigration officers there, if i or you need a Police officer you cant get one for about a week, ?? A few questions i would like answered are, where has all the money gone that should of been spent on our highways ? where is the money being spent that we gave the EU ? Do we really need HS2 ? could the money be spent else where like on some of the old branch railways ? One diesel train will move a lot of weight for a fraction of the fuel used by lorries to move the same weight ? Do we really need all the government backed and funded organisations that seem to either mean nothing or do **************** all and just hand money out to them who all ready have money ? Finally i am now convinced after today that Borris is a lying T - - T, !! I am just glad i wont be paying much of it,,, I dont give a - - - - what any one says about this bit, but there is only 2 politician,s that have been in my lifetime that i think have spoke any cence, Enoch and Maggie,,,, the rest, well think what you want to think,,
  22. Is that turn left at the roundabout, then right at the lights, then 2nd on the left πŸ˜‚
  23. Might go quicker now ????
  24. Be a millionair this time next year then Rodney ,,
