    So you're now going to have a semantic arguement about your levels of bitching about skylands and whether or not it crosses the line of slander?. We've all offered simple solutions to which you've kept on quoting consumer rights, if you were my customer I'd have refused and refunded. All whilst you're using varying font sizes, which in internet speak is normal talking, to slightly larger shouting to cut and paste yelling like a crazy person?.

    Next you'll be suggesting we set up a country just for one particular religion. I suggest the isle of man, tax evasion and religious extremism. Roll on next year's isle of man TnT

    Whilst I'm no expert on the subject, would you need a strap on for every new partner?. One assumes they're dishwasher safe but you wouldn't share a toothbrush!

    Or be an adult, ring them and ask to pay for a timed delivery with royal mail. Instead of trying to slander and annoy what appears to be a bunch of customers who have slightly realistic expectations of a courier service.

    You can quote consumer law etc etc until your blue in the face. The seller does however have the full right to NOT sell tho whomever they choose!.

    I sense a expensive and protracted legal case regardless of if there is proof or not. I would be inclined to speak to a expert on the legal matters, but I would also ask them to ensure in the event of having to remove the tree that an agreement stating they can't claim anything in the future from you/the house owner or insurance.

    We've all seen the inflatables "toys", but one has to wonder what they put on the customs paperwork. 100 inflatable sheep are surely going to raise a few questions, like battery neck stress relievers and bottom inserted soiling protectors.

    Whilst I would agree on the wildflowers, generally speaking if your grazing it and not doing silage that shouldn't be a problem. The trees in my mind are a big no, as your also knocking 75% off the land value and if you take any grant your not able to do anything in the future. Start small and find a market that suits, be that sheep/horses etc. Just don't expect to be rich or full time employment.

    As a farmer, I would recommend you pay contractors for the first few years and decide what equipment you need using them as an example. If you can have sheep grazing, definitely take advantage of free mowing atleast let neighbors make hay. Start small and build upwards, but you'll probably need a 80hp tractor for rough mowing, anything smaller and you'll have trouble running anything like hedge cutters. I should also say make sure you have insurance for a small holding.

    This at the very least a rapid route to watering plants with Brawndo. I'll admit to having a glass is half empty, with the glass smashed on the floor view of the world. On the one hand I'm rarely surprised by stupidity, but atleast I can be surprised if things turn out better.

    Yes, the one in the picture, might have to give one of those a try. I'm still using the old school universal heads with 3.3mm, which is pretty economical but I have to use minimal throttle on a FS410 or it eats the line.

    I do have to wonder about these plastic ocean islands, whilst I understand they want to clean it up and admirably so. Surely it would be cheaper to get an old steamer with a oil/coal boiler to just scoop it up, crush and air dry and burn the stuff ?.

    Sarcasm maybe the lowest form of wit, doesn't make it any less funny or depressingly true about the leaders of the "Free" world. You could even say "In God we trust".

    Pyrolysis or incineration, unfortunately people are deluded with the recycling plastic idea which is a massive con. Whilst yes some, are reusable I think it's something like 90% aren't and we should just incinerate or let's say cofire to make it more palatable to those green groups. Burn the waste plastic and go back to glass whenever possible.

    Pelosi and Brandon probably just think they're going out for a meal and got the reservations mixed up.

    That strangely sounds like a decent argument for all tap water to contain birth control and then heavily tax bottled water. If you can afford the bottled water you can have a kid.

    Stubby, do you know who the manufacturer of the strimmer head is ?.

    As a farming type, there does need to be a reality check to all the eco doom mongering spouted and regurgitated by Gretta. I'm somewhere in the eco middle, but turning off the lights and shivering in a corner isn't going to save anything, we can't even huddle around and old incandescent bulb for heat anymore!. Build or atleast restart nuclear including Hinkley immediately, in the long term close gas power stations and return to being self sufficient using North sea gas. As a thought we as a country have over 139 tons of plutonium at sellafield, literally gathering dust and we've just closed the fuel recycling facility!.

    Or speak to the farming neighbors, I'm sure most would jump at the chance of a flail job in-between other jobs.

    Yeap, the old smell test 🙂

    It doesn't work like that on old vehicles, the vin plate/v5 is the valuable asset, obviously you pay more if it's functional Vs a baggy with just a vin plate. In the old days nothing was really traceable or serialised, even engines were just sand casting numbers. Which is why with the vin details you can apply for the paperwork, number plate etc. Whilst it would be technically possible to clone the details, it would flag up as a sale once the DVLA get informed.

    Whilst I don't doubt the reputed accuracy of the German or Austrian record keeping. If it's anything like our car industry at the time they'll have fitted whatever they could find to do the job 🙂
  23. GarethM
    If you're mate gets an MOT from then, your MOT has all the vin details listed so it's probably legally enough for them 🙂.
  24. GarethM
    Generally, those sold on eBay would be sold as show plates. Whilst they are a number plate the police and MOT tester can fail them, as they usually don't have the BS Standard logo, supplier details etc.

    From what I've always been told about old vintage cars, the vin plate was the important part as every other part is completely replaceable. As in theory you can build a car up from that vin plate, so would make sense to auction just the vin without the rest of the rot box. I think that's how jaguar, built a limited run of high end 60s cars, they had issued the vin numbers but never built them physically due to some issue at the time.
