Didn't take it personally Wes, and neither was the reply meant as such. Since the close down, and loss of tempo, I had to look back at some of your other posts to see if there was a common theme that indicated a political persuasion. Didn't find one!! (that only added to the confusion! ) I was genuinely a little confused at what the message you were presenting was - was it a suggestion that the book, or anyone that bought / read it was 'extreme.' I genuinely couldn't fathom. I can't wait to get started on it but have to finish reading "Freedom...is more than a seven-letter word first" It's not a bad read, hope it breaks into a bit more detail before the end though - mid way through recommend would certainly be that it's worth a look. It could probably be considered as a fairly severe swing in genre from that to our Tommy! Good post above mate

Not sure what point you're trying to progress there Wes? Are you afflicted with a....

You're old fashioned! (nothing wrong with that mind!) I didn't mean the incident, I meant the mounting failure. It was only out of interest...

Bought it last month, haven't got started with it yet.

Loving it!

Nightmare! Didn't know quite what you meant by Ducker but kinda got the idea from reading on... Any pics (or is it still too raw?)

No worries mate!

Do we need to do anything with the mobile app Steve? Just opened on iPhone and it comes up with old format and "no posts." Do we need to refresh or download a new apple app??

Diagonal braces, if appropriate, and clamps between fence panels would probably suffice. Maybe drive a road pin (or similar) through the footing block into the tarmac if additional securing is required. Extract below from BS5837:2012:

There were ladders? I didn't get past the girls on a slippery pole...

No doubt I think both are within their rights Tom, but would it be perceived as progressive or regressive in terms of industry standards?

Footing blocks

Interesting to see that AA site appears to have closed the previously open access availability of reference documents and templates which is now restricted to members only. Understandable on the one hand - there is a need to generate income I guess but questionable perhaps on the other. A bit like the perceived prohibitive cost of British Standards resulting in a restricted awareness of standards and a perpetuation of less than adequate operations....

Just about to have mine Mr E!!

YayHay! It's back..... I was running out of 'real people' to argue with

Oops soz mate...

Cuttings and start again??

Recording a sub contractors UTR just makes life easier for HMRC to cross reference the engaging entity's gross payments to the recipient's SATR (or lack of.) It's just a link in the chain.

May I offer an amend Mr T?

Best wishes to Goaty, friends and family for a full and speedy recovery.

It's perfect for walking from the Mess to the office, or hotel to taxi! Anymore than than was never expected....😂

Jeremy Corbyn: I never said we would write off student debt http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40696974 Lucky it wasn't written on the side of a bus....

There is also the question of wether, or not, you (or yr accountant) seek to off set training costs as a business expense to relieve annual tax liability. I've found that some accountants will, and some won't and that HMRC appear to operate on a desk officers "opinion" rather than a definitive policy position - it remains an outstanding dispute in my affairs with HMRC. It's a bit of an aside to the main thrust but relevant to calculating real cost of training. I've found some accountants to be happy to submit as a business operating cost, others not so, and HMRC standing by the assertion that training (for a new skill) is classed as an intangible benefit to the business and ineligible for submission as a business expense. This is an arguable point (I'm arguing - no surprise) that legislative requirements - first aid, NPTC refreshers, CPC etc are mandatory rather than optional and as such are / should be an eligible business expense. I expect to win the point on Continuation training but the jury's out on the new skill aspect. Can do more detail if anyone interested?
