Atleast before the internet, this sort of sh1t posting was reserved for those sandwich board or speaking in tongue types. I suppose becoming a priest was similar thing, telling them about fire and damnation instead of trawling the depths of the internet for his daily fix of internet dross whilst claiming the CIA was stealing his thoughts and how velcro/bubble wrap and soft loo roll was his idea.

Maybe one of the c's at HMRC ?.
-
He wouldn't meet anyone tho, they're locked away. I'm not sure why, maybe scared of mixing with the riff raff when you're earning 70k+. Plus with all those buttons and switches he'd never have enough time for replying on here in-between giving bob crow a handy.

Maybe one day when you actually have a job position that's not on a salary you'll actually understand. You seem to equate every sod driving one as some massive company screwing over HMRC, reality is the UK is primarily small businesses. Just don't equate your boss turning up in his chauffeur driven Merc with a pickup truck. Its people in those trucks that keep this country running, not Rupert off on his 3rd ski trip of the season.

The government is hardly getting something for nothing are they, regardless of how you're using it. You understand why HGVs aren't taxed into oblivion because the ved is low ISH because they drink fuel like an addict. At the end of the day the business has made that money, there are few perks to being self employed. Taking a salary isn't the same, we get shafted left, right and centre and have to sort pensions etc, a rare sweetener is needed just to make it better than saying sod the lot of you and making a dole claim for mental health or some other made up excuses. And we also get done over for commercial vehicle insurance, so Peds and his Passat won't have the same 1-2k insurance
-
As you like numbers, say I did get a pickup and we had the tax deduction regardless of who drives it at say 28mpg average. So I've saved say 10k tax for example, well 28mpg Vs say 60mpg is 33 miles difference. Me thinks the government is going to make that back missing tax pretty quickly on fuel duty and ved!.
-
Sorry but that's absolute bs. You can use the same oh it's not working for practically every piece of equipment I and every other business owner has. We have it because it does a job, be that once a year or every day. If I need something I buy it outright without finance.
-
Oh so instead of one vehicle you want 2/3 yeah soooooooo great for the planet. The more you try to argue why, the less I actually respect your very poor foundations of an argument. Next you'll be telling me I should rent a tractor by the hour because I'm not spending 8 hours a day 365 in it. Have nothing and be happy, as Klas would say. It's just a F'in communism ideology
-
I've got this amazing idea, why not lift the bonnet and put that generator in there. Efficient, streamline and improve the look, surely the green types would prefer the aesthetic and you can put eco stickers all over it ?
-
Just needs to be next to a weight watchers meeting room 😉
-
Maybe get yourself one of those garage waste oil heaters if you can get it for next to nothing.
-
So with you're constant sh1t posting, did your offer get lost in the post ?
-
Or 20 type gator
-
Or just buy summer/thinner chain oil, probably cheaper and better all round.
-
When do they ?, asking for a friend.
-
No, it just proves he needs a refund on that privately gifted private education and years bent over in the library scouring law books.
-
Didn't Starmer say 0.1% of men ?
-
Do you buy Stihl spark plugs cos they're betterer?. I will admit the two stoke oil is better tho, swings and roundabouts and all that. Help, help I'm being repressed!.
-
Shall we put is nicely, Stihl buy a more expensive oil add a load of additives to make it stable and more sticky. Oil manufacturers start with the same basic oil they supply to Stihl but probably less refined so cheaper and add the same additives which aren't a guarded secret. YMMV as they say, I make a 261 last about ten years doing 10-15 hours a week on the log pile so it can't all bad oil. Bring out the siege rabbit!.
-
Yes, Stihl have spent lots on their oil to make it all green and pleasant, as a big company they do the whole corporate responsibility thing, a oil manufacturer is just that. Never had a oil problem with any brand but I do buy 20/25 litres If you want to admit to smelling of elderberries that's upto you.
-
About 8 years using exclusively gator, cheap from eBay and average around 100 litres a year on the log pile.
-
Erm most petroleum oils are from the same base oil, even your semi or fully synthetic stuff. They just add additives to make it do what they want or make it a more homogeneous oil hence the cst/w rates via filtering etc. Only real difference is hydraulic as that's full of nasty non microbial stuff and nasty. You're overthinking a disposable thing, a disposable thing for a specific reason. Next you'll be saying 5w oils make your engine run longer because it's engineered etc etc.
-
Engineered to do what ?, you're still using the same amount not less. Engine oil I could understand if it lasts longer for example, chain oil is just a lubricant that flings. It's still mineral oil based, like tractor oils so whilst your not dumping gallons it will break down quickly and be a fertilizer.
-
Either way whoever agreed the climb will be working in Asda afterwards.

The fear porn is strong today!
