  1. Exactly, if they can't safely use a bow saw, chipper and small snedding saws maybe it's not the right line of work. We all had to start somewhere, you can't just use oh I've a certain/ticket or qualification as a yard stick. You're their boss/mentor etc, you should be confident with being able to teach them and gauge abilities or as a society we are fkd. How do you learn to drive ?, straight with the instructor or with your parents?.
  2. Middle aged radicalisation, you mean those grannies that protested for just stop oil who are now freezing to death from the withdrawal of the winter fuel allowance?.
  3. I'm surprised they've not tried to link this BS to his south African upbringing
  4. I could fart round my neck of the woods and get a post on Facebook asking wtf I was doing.
  5. I saw that and wondered surely they have tachometer fitted/bypassed or whatever. But are they linked to trackers ?.
  6. It's the getting multiple stage heat setup thing I fail to understand as you can't get 60c+ water cheaply. Oh it'll do hot water, technically yes but probably cheaper to have economy 7 hot water and separate central heating off the heat pump at 30c or whatever the maximum cop allows. 3.5kw at a cop of 4 is 14kw or maybe at 5 17.5kw
  7. Think most locals know where you're yards are anyways. It's those fly-by-nights we'd like to know where their yards are!.
  8. Your talking about a basic cs30 tho at what £500 and even then you'll have needed to teach them to respect the thing/know how it works and maintain it beforehand. You're not throwing them up a 150ft tree over a greenhouse and expecting them to crack on.
  9. Clean Air Night fact sheet - Woodsure WWW.WOODSURE.CO.UK There is a lot of misunderstanding and some misinformation regarding the solid fuel industry, so we wanted to help... I'm sure reading war and peace was shorter than their recent publication/justification for existing.
  10. I'm saying exactly what you've said. But if you were coming for 2K from me, you can guarantee even the most dumb dumb arse is going to get a solicitor to take apart you're agreement and then sob story in the local rag. There was a case not so long ago with an apprenticeship. Farming apprentice wins case against JCB dealer - Farmers Weekly WWW.FWI.CO.UK A father’s determination to protect his son’s employment rights has led to a court victory that could lead to tighter controls... I'd be more worried about these days one rights personally.
  11. Well how are you going to claim if you don't do it through the small claims courts ?. It's not necessarily a counter claim, it's a case of the judge ruling in their favour. A vaguely legal letter wouldn't make me settle, if anything it would make me even more likely to fight it.
  12. Or yours, if the judge makes an example as such judgements also get publicity.

  14. Jethro, will you turn off that spreader all I can smell is BS.
  15. Ripe old age of 42, but I do like my history both local and elsewhere that's what I mean and brought up in the golden age of TV and documentary before it got overtaken with the search for Bigfoot or finding aliens. Most people I know just blindly ignore it Ask them about land clearances and they'll just go you mean gardening.
  16. Plus cash only and no receipt, unless it's through the books then call it something nondescript.
  17. Whilst we'll disagree on the "nazi" American election stuff as I think that's mostly guff, from MSNBC who are still very butt sore especially that horse face women. I'm of an age that unlike a lot of the yoof, I learnt that whilst fuedlism and all the usual things from history have never gone away. Like prostitution, the old ways are the best if there's money to be made both extreme left or right will use it to line their pockets, BLM mansions good example.
  18. What's the obsession with making new words, just call it feudalism. Oh it's neo labour, nope just labour. I hate to rain on the parade of these social science types, calling it something new just makes it dumber. No doubt they'll be calling WFH neo feudalism, as you can save having to need an office ?. It's the same reasons I refuse to use apps for shopping or loyalty discount prices, it the price isn't on the shelf I ain't paying.
  19. I've heard those stories, granted mine hover sub 19% with the stuff winds. It's just another layer of bs that makes it less worthwhile doing.
  20. Wtf is neo feudalism
  21. Wtf is neo feudalism.
  22. True, but knowing my luck I would be the test case and I would be reamed to within an inch of my life!. It's enforced by trading standards, yeah I know they're underfunded etc etc. But it's an easy win, legally speaking if you sold it without being registered.
  23. It's just gone up price wise, all lardy dah we've got more management bs. They'll not let it die as hetas is a glorified government department. Bend over, 500 quid and then every man and his dog undercuts you and this year has been depressing trying to compete with Facebook fly-by-nights.
  24. Still got a slong, can you confirm or deny?
