    Why does it matter?

    Here's the fatty involved in the original judgement speaking out: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/dietandfitness/11302442/I-dont-feel-my-weight-is-a-big-problem-says-Dane-in-EU-obesity-ruling.html

    Whatever the ins and out of being a fatty and how you ended up that way it would seem this is another tranche of legislation to be adhered to by businesses with, of course, additional cost. Head groundsman - I'm impressed by your dedication to keeping at the job and living life to the full after such a severe injury. Good luck for the future .. Nice picture Mull!

    Funny how everyone who works for themselves has the same opinion. Of more importance what's happened to my signature with the Margaret Thatcher quote, that's not offensive!

    We don't use Clarks bio oil but the oil we do use is so thick just now in cold weather it won't work in gravity fed processor. So today I bought 40litres rapeseed to pour into drum to thin it out a bit, cheaper too at 85ppl

    Just read your link Kevin, how can there be over 11m registered disabled in the UK? that's 1 in 6 of the population! As for 5.7m working age adults registered disabled, where are all these people? Also noticed this wee gem *Working Age: men aged 16-64 and women aged 16-59 **State Pension Age: men aged 65 and over and women aged 60 and over I'm very much for sexual equality and believe most women don't get paid the same as they simply don't ask for more cash at appraisals etc, (my sample is admittedly small - 2 ex girlfriends) however I found their attitude interesting. Anyway it looks like they get to knock off work 5 years earlier too!

    Bollocks I'm talking about the people with a crime sheet theft/vandalism/violence going back since they're old enough to walk. We all know them

    Another piece from the Torygraph, seems to have basis in fact though. EU court rules that fatness 'can constitute a disability’ - Telegraph

    I always wonder why we, people as a whole or "society", have to tolerate people like that. They make it quite clear by their actions that they wish to live by a different set of rules, wouldn't it really be simpler all round if we just hung him and his likes? Solves a particular ongoing issue and sends a clear signal to any wannabes that such behaviour will not be tolerated. I think the Middle East, Singapore etc have it just right

    Lovely idea in theory but utterly impractical in the UK. And I'll reiterate yet again that the UK is absolutely beyond skint so why it's even suggested is beyond me, sounds like someone's trying to create some more nonjobs!

    You just need to get in mindset that it's not your money plus always think of costs/revenue as ex VAT price. Anyway, point of thread wasn't the rights and wrongs of vat thresholds, it was regarding way it was being implemented. If Labour, for example, put this proposal in their manifesto then you would have chance to vote for them (or not), thus if it was implemented then it would by democratic mandate. There would also be the opportunity to speak directly to the instigating party MP regarding proposal.

    Sawlogs for milling, pallet, pulp (for paper), chip

    When we did heli logging years ago the chopper flew out over Loch Lomond, it wasn't unknown for the poles to bang together and release the chokers so logs fell into the loch. They were full length trees (sned out) and they disappeared out of sight, god knows how deep they went but they came back out the water like a Polaris missile being launched. The chopper just used to fly round any boat traffic he spotted, wouldn't get away with that now!

    Good to hear they're the business. Noticed the heavy fins out back of lights so guessed they're going get hot!
  15. Wood wasp
    Fair point but VAT registration is fairly onerous for a new start business. I just don't like bureaucracy! Edit - I should say I am vat reg'd

    These ones arrived today: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00PRUC39Y/ref=pe_385721_37986871_TE_item though I only paid £69 They seem good quality and heavier built than I thought they might be, unfortunately won't get them fitted until new year

    Obviously an opinion piece from the torygraph but I haven't seen anything about this: How the EU is throttling online business with idiotic VAT reform - Telegraph

    We had 600kg plant trailer which took a 2.9t access platform with no problems. Didn't have any ramps though Was great as sat very low also

    And, depending on vehicle, he can do multiple drops per journey

    16" in 12 years, that would be a great yield but surely must be a typo?!

    Eddie, if you did need accurate measuring then simply mark sliding boom as required and you have spot on measurements. So a 3.7m log is 2 full strokes (mine is 1.25m stroke) and on 3rd stroke only go as far as the 1.2m mark. I have three measures on my boom and that pretty much covers all combinations. The nisula head looks good but doesn't do very big compared to your Kesla

    We've still got our30t 2m, or maybe it's 2.2m. Can't quite remember, it's great splitter but we're just not using it enough. We're trying to cut down on firewood too so it's not going to get any busier.
  23. Wood wasp
    Run 560's now Jon, great saws. Big Sitka mainly, 2t and over sometimes
  24. Wood wasp
    It was jonsereds in those days, from memory feller was a 72cc and one used for snedding was 2065

    We can't afford all these non jobs with associated budget and expenses. I'm going to keep repeating it until people finally grasp the concept - we are spending nearly £10b per month more than taking in taxes. That's 10 billion added to the debt every month.
