  1. Never have actually lived in a "city", large town, kinda. Presently living in a small town and it more or less the same as my old small town that became to full and loud. In season it is even worse. Thank god for Easter since 90% of the tourist type will be gone until November.

  2. Sounds and looks like a good investment towards working smarter with your own funds. Might I suggest a reserve fund for future repair and replacement needs, continue to fund this reserve with every job the savings will provide you with a sound future reinvestment for the future, Happy Easter.

  3. Some customers need more training than others, cheap is cheap any where you go. If you really need the work that is one thing but if cheapo keeps adding on or applying restrictions say thanks and walk away, I would and have.

  4. Never agree to anything over the phone,unless you have an agreement in writing don't agree to anything. Futhermore if you do have something in writing and your not sure go seek a second or third opinion. If your still uncomfortable trust your sences and walk away.

  5. Gnarlyoak I am sorry that your walmarts or like retail locations don't carry Napalm. My location here in the USA delivers 50 Gal. drums to my wearhous every week. I have a good supply although I thought it would be worth a try for burning Elm. FYI In my part of the country we have no less than 3 gun shops on every corner since we like to be prepared. I would secure my Napalm from them but I have a standing order with walmart. Your also welcome to come over for a visit any time and I can teach you about my country's " gun Culture" at the range, yes I have plenty of guns and ammo. See you at the range! :-)

    Bye the way I am joking,believe it or not!

  6. I am very sorry for your loss of kit. Although I have not been a member of this organization for very long this really seems to be a reoccuring problem. I have read many comments with like descriptions of items being lifted. I wonder if it would be worth while to form a consortium of sorts with alarm companys in the UK. With the shear numbers of companys having stolen kit on a weekly basis it and members belong to this organization it may be practical and if the local police can coordinate there efforts with the alarm company this may help. I wish I could help out more but since my main base of opperations is here in the US that is the best I have to offer. I hope you are able to recover your kit.

  7. If you want hot try SW Florida USA. Current temp 88, low tonight 70 maybe. Relative Humidity competes with the temp all of the time. You guy's have no idea how easy the weather is in the UK compared to US. O by the way during the summer months the temp. in the sun and not the shade will exceed 100+ that can last for months starting as early as April and ending as late as October. The actual temp. is never reported since the Chamber of Commerce wishes to have the tourist as uninformed as possible,hence the attack of the "Lobster people" every year. They never learn and never really care how much dammage they do to their skin.

  8. Although your intentions may be all well and good the actual reasons for "Scraping vital laws" is pure economics. Your government is running out of funds just like the Feds are here in the States. I am sure that if you had a petition for say raising the VAT another 50% to cover the cost of maintaining the vital laws you deem important and needed that petition would go over like a lead feather. I think that the need to continue to involve the Government in every aspect of ones life will continue to erode your rights every time. We as citizens can, if we choose be good stewards of our economy and environment with out government intervention. The more dependent you become of the government the more you will become subjected to the government. If you still feel strongly about signing petitions and "scraping vital laws" perhaps you may wish to donate any remaining funds you will ever earn to support your causes, I am sure the Government would be happy to accept your support.
