Good news in many respects but also a MASSIVE indicator of stormy waters ahead.

£5/25kg at farm gate hereabouts. 6 squid delivered has to be the best deal in Christendom! On reflection, as I’m passing anyway, 5 squid collected is a squid cheaper....

Don't sweat it Mr S. I'm gonna tag that as fake news. The writing style, the grammar, the content and the typo's scream amateur BS.

Like calm things down!

You’ll be thrown out of the NHS if you carry on with that sort of measured, considered, sensible discourse. Just about every NHS employee wheeled out to talk on the subject is riding the flaming, hysterical, Lefty bandwagon of “down with the Tory scum, hail Comrade Corbyn, we need much more money because the multitude of 6 figured salary ‘managers’ we already have seem to be not managing very well...”

Bear with, haven’t had chance to put the thoughts and words together to avoid my usual knee-jerk, flippancy which wouldn’t be appropriate for such a subject

I’m no ice no water also but I believe this is not the best practice since the slight dilution better enables the palate to explore a broader spectrum. Meh, experts... They’re alright so long as they know the limits of our tolerance to their superior knowledge ?

With water? We had a bottle a while back (might still be at the back of the cupboard?). Found it way too intense, peaty & smoky, not on the fav’s list.

He’s done you there @Mark J ??

Was that the LBC analysis earlier this evening Mark? I think I heard the same. I haven't read into it yet, needs a bit of time for the dust to settle and the experts to pour over it. I haven't got the mental capacity for that tonight...

Look on the bright side.... Remember the Labour manifesto which promised massive capital spend on the basis that interest rates were low enough to run up a debt mountain? There should be some serious embarrassed bar stewards looking back on the policies and promises that were written just a few months ago. It's gonna be bad enough working our way out of this catastrophe, imagine if the national finances had been pished away before we'd even started!
-
Agreed, but someone is gonna have to do it and JSA ‘requires’ one to be available for work from my limited understanding of it. Looks like there may be more jobs to be done than there are people willing to do them. Maybe potential for a National Service Land Army?

I’d leave the tires alone and go for the tracked chipper. I’d soon get fed up of swapping wheels and it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll end up with a long road run on mud tires for the sake of 40m of muddy track at the end. 8 wheels is too much much faff for my liking...

I haven’t fully digested it yet, but gov measures to avoid companies laying off employees appears, on face value, to be comprehensive and far reaching. Certainly unprecedented. Supermarkets looking for 25k new recruits as of right now. Ag sector needs 70k to replace absent seasonal workers Coronavirus: Urgent appeal for Brits to work on farms - Farmers Weekly WWW.FWI.CO.UK Industry leaders have issued an urgent plea for British people to work on farms and help feed the nation amid a... Im sure there will be other sudden ‘growth’ areas. Looks like it might be a struggle for the great unworking to justify their Sky subscription?

I believe I posted this very joke a few pages back @Ratman. Keep up lofty!

Reducing costs during the Crisis..
kevinjohnsonmbe replied to benedmonds's topic in Business Management
I ‘helmet cam’ed’ (go-pro) an initial site visit to a potential development site this morning just in case I can’t go back in case of lock-down. I explained to the site owner why and they were OK (quite impressed) with the thinking. On reflection, it’s not a bad idea as a matter of course. Whereas normally I take a lot of reference pictures, having a walking / talking commentary will be a useful reference for report writing and recording the current status. Sometimes being forced to think differently throws up better ways of working - no need to travel back to site, time, travel, fuel savings. -
Apol’s Mr H, I think you’ve missed the bigger point.

What sort of condition is it that requires a £500 re-plant spend?

Nice one, fortune favours the brave ??

Coronavirus - impacting you yet?

Had a mate did similar with his flat in Falmouth for the’99 solar eclipse. Don’t think it was as rich as £50k but gave him a years worth of beer vouchers! -

The inference was subtle - but sufficiently direct. Do you want the crayons.... They're not for eating mind.... ? -
If the vendor intentionally withholds material information at the point of sale they could find themselves liable for recovery from the purchaser. The purchaser's conveyancer "should" highlight any outstanding charges against the land but the likes of TPOs are often not highlighted. The purchaser could seek to recover costs against their conveyancer if the failure to highlight was professionally inept. None of which is any concern or liability for the person that was contracted to remove the tree. If you weren't contracted to undertake the re-plant you just walk away.
