    As the stumps are probably waste then yes as burying or landfill of waste has been unlawful for nigh on 20 years now. However there are certain exemptions or permits available from EA for numerous activities but I'm well out of the loop now . The forestry commission dug and windrowed corsican stumps in Thetford because of fomes risk

    Agreed not to rotavate because of risk of smearing and further compaction. Subsoil maybe and then chemical screefing for the planting pits, done now.

    Yes and we can't have labour and SNP anyway.

    So does twisting the handle throw a rod up and another down?

    they have got two years to cash in before the next election

    You will need someone better at accountancy than I but 5% of gross sales verses 20% of inputs suggests it is better to stay registered if your inputs are more than a fifth of your sales, aside from the current value of your assets, and if you never have outputs chargeable at 20% to private clients.
  7. openspaceman
    Mind if all your outputs are 5% VAT there is less advantage

    may be worth deregistering then as the value of kit you have left on the books will be well written down and that value is what you will have to pay 20% on.

    That doesn't show much. From the look of the mechanism turning the handle should throw bolts top and bottom. Easy enough fix for anyone with a bent to engineering. You should say approximately where you are in case there is a competent soul nearby on the forum

    In the absence of an in focus close up of an individual leaf and from the fruits and paler green colour I would have said norway maple

    I never missed a show up till about 2000 but I think I only noticed one gasifier and generator, it was supposed to be running a converted 6D engine but from the tarry water running from various joints it looked like they failed to get the temperature up. For gasification it needs to sit between 100-800C and that needs very dry wood, which is one reason most of the modern ones run on pellets.

    Yes even though as @Stubby says ash does tend to gum up the chain it looks to me basically sharp but the chain is tight from lack of lubrication, hence friction and heating up.

    Because the power for the charging comes from your vehicle alternator and that in combination with the engine and inverter conversion efficiencies are not as efficient as the grid electricity and a charger. Also DERV or petrol is highly taxed compared with the grid. Okay it is a small amount of extra power from your engine but it is more. A test would be to listen to an idling engine as you switch the charger on.

    Sorry to hear and also sickened by the vandalism on top of the theft. I cannot imagine the sort of person that does such things and hope you cope with replacing the equipment.

    My earliest memory is my mum buying a coronation pencil for my sister and I, in a pram together, from a one legged man who was leaning on the dairy wall at the end of the road, I was two. She held it all together till the end.

    This is my worry, farmers depend on confidence there will be a sale for their produce, as do we all really, that confidence is not there and hedging on futures doesn't produce the confidence farmers need to plant now. Very little of the world's grain is traded as exports so it only require the loss of a little global production to have an effect

    I cannot see that as not a member but I suspect I remember the younger because the mother seemed to own the farm.

    Yes the Kinnocks certainly played that EU system well. I was trying to show it was not only offshore companies, politicians, old money and royalty that manage to avoid what the man on PAYE has to pay but also owners of fairly small businesses too.
  19. openspaceman
    Yeah, missed that so not tree of heaven and far less to worry about

    Ah the grant getter king, whatever happened to him?

    That 1 million is only if their dwelling is being past on, If there is cash that is treated differently and tends to attract 40% IHT. Toffs get round that by handing over ownership early and hoping to live a further 7 years. This is all insignificant compared with what company owners get away with, having company fuel cards and drawing a "pool" vehicle whilst owning a classic that is never driven, company has a portfolio of rental properties, including the one the CEO lives in and property services division employs gardeners, decorators and chauffeurs etc.

    Buying an ac coupled charger- battery setup and having it fitted (DNO approval required) will benefit them greatly then as they have no costs involved with the panels.

    Leaves look a bit like Ailanthus altissima , terrible tree for spreading by suckers. If it is I'd trench down and fit a root barrier AND/OR suggest the neighbour removes it. If they do decide to remove kill it with round up now 10 weeks before felling

    I think that is what David would call an anamorph (the asexual form).

    My panels were fitted by an electrician who became MCS registered for my job, as far as I am aware he never fitted any more as when the FIT changed demand fell. He is now considering getting back in to the work but hasn't found the time to visit me and start on my new string of panels :-(
