  1. good afternoon good site with very knowledgeable people on this site. mind of information will always get a answer to a problem
  2. well under sale of goods act 1979 para 14 the saws are not fit for the job. put in writing they have 7 days to repair saws to your satisfaction. replace with new saws. or refund your money in full plus your time and expense for having to go back with them. failure to any of this then take to small claims. but as they have had them back and have not fixed them ask for your money back and go elswere. shocking service. as for sthil hq good luck bet they side with dealer.
  3. yes need the ticket to be able to work on road and put the signs up. i did mine with council as i am contracted by them so cost me nowt. bt if you do do the course if its no more do chapter 8 it lets you do more and you get the little red book with it
  4. by the hour plus if you supply water then a bit for that plus take in the cost of having to pull a tonne of water around so fuel consumption goes down. never worked it out as contracted and thats one of the jobs but more i think of it i think they are going to have to pay more for me doing it. so i recon £20 plus per hour. i know any pressure washing jobs is going to be based on a hour and a half from now on. on contract jobs.
  5. as other post salisbury is a cracking track. and have a go at enduro as a novice will need a enduro tyre on back but great fun 3 hours non stop riding over 6 plus miles of track. i am marshaling 29th at Four marks near alton 2.5 hour over 6 miles. some very good practice tracks for enduro riding in wales. as for MX in your area sorry can not help someone will son in law has just got a 2009 yzf 450 yam and his mate has the 450 susuki had a 125 then went to a 200 ktm but says the 450 handles much better as more power. saying that folded it into a burn and wrecked the hyperflo rad. new £500 for a pair ouch
  6. i have a nissan navara d22 and now it has a new engine cracking truck never been stuck even with plant trailer on back loaded but if i went for a newer model i would go izuzu. but seeing your differences the nissan has more grunt. but comparing my d22 do not know what the d40 is like heard bad and good about them izuzu is bullet proof. VW 2ltr huge and with car engine can see it be usless. ford heard they are good hilux never heard a bad press about them but old hilux not new. so if it was me think i would go the izuzu route
  7. genset steve is your man not far from you should be on hear offering his services
  8. if they catch you with red in tank or they get readings that red has been used. i believe they can seize the vehical and can charge you for evading duty on road fuel. how they base how much you evaded do not know. but its mega bucks plus fine for evading

  14. as above to all the other posts learn to be able to use a saw. go on any course you can go on cs30/31 for starters. then try and get some experience with a saw. see if you can find a coppicer or woodsman who would let you help out. then when you are confident in using a saw have a go on a carvers course. as need to be confident in using a saw to be able to carve as a different aproach used to do this

  16. TC take Dorset up on his offer very good hedgelayer and does a very good job saw his work at netly and looked very neat. good style shame we do not have many banks this way so i could use dorset devon style. along with south of england the best two styles. have flack jacket and helmet on from other style hedgelayers
  17. what you need to know is does he have employment liability cover. so if he employs a sub contrator you and damage is caused he is covered by the insurance. as for payment. what he needs to do is pay you as sub contractors not the cliant. then the insurance should be ok if client pays you they are employing you not main contractor so you need your own PL insurance. get him to pay you direct then pay your own tax and NI as a self employed person. you can claim back a lot eg clothes fuel saws. but doing it the way you are doing it at mo on very dodgy ground. he is insured but the rest of you are not. re vat if he does not want to be vat registered he does not have to untill you are turning over i beleive £100k before is up to the company
  18. as per post hold down and type in tv code and off you go

Kerry Groves Communications & Enquiries Administrator Commonwealth War Graves Commission Jenton Road, Sydenham, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, CV31 1XS, United Kingdom Tel: +44 (0) 1926 330137 | Ext: 2573 | Direct: +44 (0) 1926 456573 | Fax: +44 (0) 1926 456595 | Website: CWGC - Homepage The Commission’s Community Involvement Scheme ‘Adopt a War Grave’ Thank you for your recent enquiry about voluntary opportunities with the Commission. The Commission welcomes the support and help from local communities who may wish to ‘Adopt a War Grave’ in their local churchyard or cemetery. To help you better understand the details of our scheme; please take a look at the attached Information Sheet called ‘The Work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in the United Kingdom’ which provides some background information so that any offer of assistance from you can be based in that context. In many of these cemeteries and churchyards the Commission does not have any more right of access than anyone else or any authority to carry out maintenance in its own right. Any work we undertake has to be agreed by a third party (usually the controlling authority) and we have to operate within any constraints they wish to place upon that work. Most of our work is undertaken by contractors and we have numerous agreements with local councils and churches for the maintenance of the war graves. In addition to the routine maintenance carried out by contractors all the headstones are cleaned by Commission staff every two to three years and the fabric of the headstones are checked every three to four years to ensure that commemorations of the casualties are still legible. We also have an on-going renovation programme where sites are earmarked for improvement by Commission staff provided that subsequent on-going maintenance can be assured. In most sites where we have a commitment much depends upon the resources that the controlling authority can bring to bear. Whilst the Commission has resources to direct towards war graves it cannot take on responsibility for maintaining the whole site. The following categories best describes how you can help us to care for the war graves depending on your interest and also how much time you can spare: 1. Cleaning Headstones (*permission is required from the cemetery/church authority*) We treat our headstone markers with a masonry biocide every two to three years which should help keep them free from Algae and lichen between treatments however a lot depends upon the location of the marker. If under heavy tree cover we usually find that the marker will “green up” more quickly than if located in the open air and often those situated under tree cover also suffer from extensive soil splash because ground cover cannot establish easily in such shady conditions. If the headstone marker would benefit from an additional clean then a brush down with water and a soft bristle brush is usually effective. Please do not use bleach or any other product on the headstone as this can cause damage to the structure of the stone. 2. Clearing the immediate grave areas (*permission is required from the cemetery/church authority*) We try to achieve a standard of level turf cut to around 2 to 4 inches around the war graves and many cemeteries and churchyards will work to this specification when they undertake their monthly cut. Due to the nature of a lot of these sites, we find that the immediate grave areas can become overgrown during the growing season. If you feel able to clear the vegetation without risk to yourself, by checking the area and ensuring suitable clothing and footwear (including hand protection) is worn, then you will be helping to keep the area under control in between our maintenance visits. It is important to note that the planting of scattered graves is not encouraged by us as this can impede upon the on-going maintenance of scattered war graves. 3. Commemorating at Remembrance Time Unfortunately the Commission is unable to help with any costs associated with tokens of remembrance. If you decide you would like to help with the cleaning of headstones or clearing the immediate grave areas then it will be necessary to inform the church or cemetery authorities of your involvement with the scheme prior to carrying out any work asking if there are any specific instructions relating to Health and Safety and to ensure that they have no problems with what is proposed and we will provide you with the relevant contact details. I must stress that any work you undertake is entirely at your own risk and please also consider that cemeteries and churchyards can often be lonely places; and you may not see another person during the course of your visit. What to do next: If you would like to proceed, please contact me with an idea of your intended level of involvement (1-3 as above) as this will enable us to identify the sites in your area best suited to your offer of help and by all means let me know if you have a specific interest in a cemetery or churchyard or war grave in particular. We will provide you with details of the war graves, a plan of the site and contact details for the church or cemetery authorities (if required). We are not expecting you to help with all the war graves in the site, you may wish to choose one grave or small groups of graves as you see fit. Following confirmation of your interest your details will be added to our Community Involvement/Adopt a War Grave Database and we will send you a yearly questionnaire asking for confirmation of your on-going involvement with the scheme. I think I have covered most issues but if you have any queries on any of the points I have made, please do not hesitate to contact me. hope this is of interest. just waiting back of some in my area i can go and look after. they gave there all so if i can give just a hour of my time to look after there resting place its not a lot to do
