  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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."
  8. Chinese satellite fires green laser beams over Hawaii WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Incident comes amid an escalation of tensions between China and the US – after a Chinese spy balloon was...
  9. 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.
  10. Plus didn't George slay that one, maybe the Chinese one is still flying around eating Mongolians ?
  11. Wrong kinda dragon obviously
  12. Isn't painting it red and number 8 also lucky ?.
  13. Does the stamp say Entry 1 - English pig dog ?
  14. I'm going to need to go to Costco for me tin foil at this rate.
  15. Maybe the Chinese are just messing with the Americans. If you know your weather balloons/spy stuff is going to be shot down. I'd be sending up any old balloons, as we've just had Chinese new year, the next one will be a dragon and whatever animal is this year's calendar choice of delicacy.
  16. They're too busy chasing the next issue to actually think or even acknowledge people have a differing viewpoint. Take the prison thing, it's hardly a stretch of the imagination to say men and women only, but if you have transitioned fully as a women you can. No member = very little risk. A lopped off rapist probably isn't a bad thing for when they finally get released, maybe we should encourage it for pedos. A glitterless ball sounds good.
  17. What about crayfish or freshwater muscle ?. Whilst they are cold blooded I guess heat is released when they breath and presume they live in a colony to keep warm like penguins?
  18. And you think your EU mistress is any less of a dominatrix?. Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society.
  19. Think they have been politely saying, don't bother with the all in one tool. Buy a normal cheap sharpening kit, learn how to do it by hand, shouldn't take more than 3 minutes on a 14". We've all bought gimmicks, guides etc. In all honesty the kit makes you learn the angles of dangle and teaches you through experience the importance of the right angles and chip shape when cutting.
  20. It's not exactly a burial plot when it's over probably a hundred yard square.
  21. As they aren't actually a ton what about making a box section sleeve for the forks with telescopic rods to extend into the lifting straps ?.
  22. https://arbtalk.co.uk/messenger/44396/?_rid=39926 Thanks for the violent offer eggs, but I think we both know there's a reason why people such as yourself can't be trusted to play nice with others.
  23. If you're wishing to be pedantic, why not start with those on the forum who have read you're cryptic and rather minimalistic postings. Whilst you expected pity, even though the rules are being followed by the council. So in reality you received mostly apathy from those that posted a reply or chuckled at you throwing your toys out of the pram because you choose not to follow the rules the rest of society abide by and then cry when mommy doesn't let you off a spanking.
  24. People like me pay an absolute ton in council tax and abide by the rules which the rest of society abide by!. We will all wait with bated breath for your impending legal loss and eviction from the illegal "pitch".
  25. So finally after two pages, you finally admit to living illegally. Well you can choose used car salesman or estate agent, both I wouldn't trust!. The rest of society has Zero problem paying council tax and living in legal property and following the rules. Pot kettle and just shown your depths of being an arse.
