Even if you have no MOT, they HAVE to pay out the losses to the 3rd party. And as we all know, an MOT is not proof of roadworthiness anyway.

Guild is waste of money these days. If you're going to pay for something then it's worth paying for something where you will get plenty of good advertising in return. Check-a-trade is the way to go. They do more proper checks than anyone, they check up on your customer feedback, they advertise for you, and it's what Joe Public looks for nowadays. Ask most people what "Guild of Master Craftsmen" means to them and they won't have a clue. And the reps will sign just about anyone up so they get their commission - they even signed up a mate of mine who is as far from a "crasftsman" as you can get. He can connybash though Apart from that, great set up there and I wish you well in getting a good return on your investment

Knives have certainly been available via ebay in the past - see BBC - Watchdog: Illegal knives sold on eBay. But it's not actually ebay that sell them. It's the seller that sells them and the sale was just done through ebay.

Banning sale of knives was to stop kids getting them and stabbing each other - bit pointless as they'll just get a knife out the kitchen drawer. If you get ebay to ban the sale of top handle chainsaws, it will likely lead to a ban of the sale of all chainsaws, which will lead to a ban of the sale of hedgecutters, grinders and then all other power tools.... then motorbikes in case someone buys a bike and falls off it, then cars in case someone buys a car and crashes it. Slippery slope.

YES, you can. Unless something has changed in the past 8 weeks. And not just on ebay either.

Government issue- wood waste to landfill
Pedroski replied to jaime bray's topic in Trees and the Law
Just because something is going in a skip doesn't mean it's going to landfill. Many skip companies also carry out proper recycling to minimise waste to landfill. A skip full of arisings from tree work will NOT end up in landfill. Neither will a skip full of hardcore. Neither will a skip full of metal. It's easier for the skip company if a skip has just one type of material in it, but some companies like Rabbit have full facilities for sorting the 'waste'. All hardcore ends up as aggregate for the construction industry, metal gets recycled, plastics get baled and sent to processors. And other materials get shredded and used for energy production. -
It's EASY to get one without being trained, and it doesn't have to be through someone who is trained. Absolutely nothing stopping you ordering online regardless of checks that people think should be made. It's not like buying a gun!

Surely, from the point of view of the charity, anything that gets people hanging around and spending money is a good thing.

Wouldn't a 'skilled' tree surgeon visually assess?
Pedroski replied to McMichael's topic in General chat
Well, at least she'll be able to measure the height of the tree when a surveyor's electronic jizzmo has packed up. -

votes to save a woodland from the developers
Pedroski replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in General chat
I've given my vote, for what it's worth - sort of local, East Sussex anyway! Areas of woodland and green space within the urban environment are so important for the wellbeing of the local population and as habitat for wildlife. My preferred option would be drastic population reduction - close the borders, sterilise anyone found throwing fag ends on the ground, chewing gum, harassing people outside the supermarket, etc:biggrin: -
I'm also landscaping when it's not really what I want to do. We don't do much in the way of weeding (just bash the bastids down and mulch over them!), and I enjoy working with timber, I loath turfing, I hate digging for fences, but I enjoy morticing posts for arris rails and nailgunning up featheredge, I even enjoy hedgebashing. But while it's not what I want to be stuck doing, it is kind of paying the bills and the work is full time with more and more coming in even with new firms popping up now and then. I'm working on my plans, but without the landscaping at the moment then I'd be up the creek without a paddle!

It sucks. It's just dawned on my as well, two of my kids are now over 16 - I think I'm going to 'pay' them £8k each to deliver leaflets, but look after the money for them.

Had it done back in 2003 - no problems at all. Mrs drove me home, back to work following day landscaping, smarted a bit but non big deal.

Have you remembered to revise your payments on account due to increase in personal allowance from £6475.00 for 2010-11 to £7475 for 2011-12? Should be knocking a couple of hundred quid off second payment on account that now becomes due.
