Back to thinly veiled BS are we, hate to break it to you but Cheshire and all the combine authorities are even worse than Staffordshire just as a nice FYI. Hopefully you'll buy your boat and then we can hear you moaning about the CRT moving you along every 7-14 days. Atleast I'm living rent free in your thoughts.

Ring n ride a tree surgeon, next they'll be telling me the overloaded chip in the back is for lower kerb height.

Arguing on arb forum is more a part time hobby, if you can't argue your position either way your just standing in line shouting yes sir. Question the reasons behind everything and speak in plain English, thus avoiding Pierrepoint. Electrical engineering, farming and semi professional firewood spoiler. If AA want to do what I think they're aiming for, they will require a HETAS style government intervention.

Only if they paid for the gold service, platinum is from a moving vehicle, bronze is more bus fare.

Theres a phrase I've lived by. If you can't explain something simply you don't understand the subject. You are quite plainly trying to become a defacto trade union/regulating or licensing body, that's fine just don't sugar coat it underneath layers of BS.

Well they have successfully managed to usurp even the Kardashian levels of media whore. Which is no small achievement without parading yourself around practically naked whilst doing the pout that makes every women more unattractive than a rotting piece of cod.

Barclays let you pay it in via your app, by taking a photograph, so assume something like that?.

Your liable as it's your tree. And no, you can't force access without some form of court order. If they won't listen to reason, or a little greasing of the wheels there isn't much else you can do. Bar, rubbing their noses in it by using a massive crane over the house.

Ah, so the man wearing the top hat, using the boot on the little doggy?. Or will he be more the top hat running over the doggy with the car or wheelbarrow?.

And go straight to wife jail ?

He actually won a real competition but thought it was a scam initially. I do find it very suspicious he's not clarified if it was him or the Mrs that actually did the sudoku 😉

If that converted rifle could talk. I landed on the beaches you know, took out lots of Nazis and then got dragged around Europe. Then some bugger reamed me out and shoots pigeons and stabs the occasional mouse, how I yearn for my glory days 😉.

And the bayonet or is that to make it legal length for a shotgun?.
-
Maybe he was getting confused between a surgeon and a tree surgeon?. I'll shut up before AA tony at the butchers shop sends Paulie to discuss the matter. Seriously tho, I do have to wonder what Lantra and C&G and any other certification providers thoughts are in the longer term.

One reminds us how awful TV was as a child, the other how awful politicians have become.
-
Are you an ex UPVC salesman?. You've still failed to actually have a convincing argument, except lament about how great this new quasi religious organisation is. There are plenty of other similar schemes and trade organisations, until the quickening happens maybe scale back the one true religion overtones.
-
From my yoof, it's the whole ISO9000 argument. One of my old bosses put it like this. Its not a sign of quality, it's just shows your able to produce the same sht consistently.
-
Granted you can't deregulate councils, like your electric with each house being different. But they definitely need a reality check, maybe a clearing out of town hall upper management. Employ a normal salary CEO say 100k and let the chainsaw of the financial cloth begin.
-
I'm aware of the utter wastefulness of council taxes by procurement etc. I wasn't taking offense if the council chooses to use AA as a minimum as that's their right, I did however at assumption in general of no membership no work. The other organizations might say approved, but many councils wouldn't say this one and this one only. As I said that would make it a cartel, if your not on the list it's a work black list of the 70s.
-
I'd suggest checking the sensors, guessing they are 3 wire type, ie +, - & signal or are they mechanical two wires ?. Shorting them will just damage something, time to break out the multimeter and do some testing before diving into any control boxes.
-
Now if the council have a minimum level of accredited that's fine for them to say as they are the ones who have to explain that to the people who pay the rates. The organisation such as AA can't on the other hand go, hard luck getting work unless you're with us. From my experience of working for many councils, you just need to fill in a supplier application to get onto their list of council approved businesses. When a job comes up they ask those on the list.
-
No Yell is a phone directory plain an simple, it's not a list of "accredited" or checked people which can include Dave and his white van. You said if you're not AA you won't even get to find out, which makes it a cartel, club or however you wish to name exclusive club.
-
Have you just admitted to the AA being in effect a cartel?. "The point is as an approved contractor you are made aware of the work and asked to put in a price."

Maybe ET are getting a bit peeved about Elon sending up his used cars. Didn't they send up one last week ?. It's akin to junk mail, look Elon we've mastered intergalactic travel, we don't need this old backwards tech.
