no it is not home schooling for example in which they only have to do 15 hours per week (think this is the only example) might be wrong on the hours but i know it is far less than school and they choose when to go on holiday the law is about schooling not about when and where and lets get this straight it's not cake as if it a luxury to have kids it's a fundamental human right !!!!!!!!!!! even for people who struggle with it it still there right to find and use ways in which to have children weather that's IVF or adoption I personally can't afford the fine or afford a good hot holiday because that's what we are really talking about so i do neither (i do have holidays but they tend to be place few want to go to usually in winter ) and let get this straight just because someone make a rule doesn't mean its a good one -

the whole school scheme is a complete farce having a holiday in term time makes no difference what so ever to grade or the intelligence of kids even if you did it every year Intelligent kids do not become Ignorant kids in that time and 2 extra weeks to for the less intelligence kids does not make them suddenly intelligent!!!! my local schools ofsted report is excellent but its base only on the fact they have a high attendance as they point blank refuse anytime off in term time coupled to the fact i live on the biggest housing estate in britain where 70-80 of it social housing and viewed as a deprived area the parent here just can't afford the fines -

ok some simple stuff have you got the engine revving at the top ? is the pressure the same when you turn the engine off and you just press the trigger ? sounds like the pump to me though ! it could be the lance best way to test it is with another hose first and then another lance

it is but it seems if you can get under the barrier at my local tip you can get away with it ! i personally can't also stick with your pricing go cheap and some jobs take longer than expected and you end up working for far too little my private jobs are difficult on pricing seems like i can't get the work either(i work on a highway contract so i do have regular tree work) but i'm sticking with what i want for the job some will do it cheaper some will do it more expensive I paid out for my quals and my kit i'm a professional I refuse to do professional work for laborers wage ! If you are i suggest you stay in landscaping as you will probably make a better wage off it your £500 wasn't way off for 2 days it's when you price it for £1000 that your way off but i suppose it's up to you. Try taking £50 off next time i don't know why in some peoples minds they see the 4 and think it is a far better price than the £500 it's why companies price everything with as £4.99 rather than £5

i could be wrong but that looks more like a 50ft-60ft tree to me

-
well that's the difference your not a true business man ................. or your already getting paid for your time ! If every job you do and all your time doing it was unpaid what you got? nothing! self employed people can't do this as we get approached all the time to do something for nothing to be fair the guy should of removed branches but other than that he did the job ..... yes not to our standards but he did it !

there is it's call a light meter lighting design engineers go out and take reading they know exactualy how much light should be there and what is lost(my twin brother is a lighting engineer in street lighting for 22 years ) and it being a quite road means nothing if a council are paying a contractor to to look after it's street lighting they will actually try to fine them for not keeping up with the maintenance or for not making a compliance lighting scheme or maintaining a current one
-
its call a service strip which is a strange issue but one i deal alot in as i do highway street lighting basically they can't do a thing about as the srevice strip should of been kept clear at all times you find not only street lighting feeds in there but gas and and other services it's almost like they don't own the land

ok i grow my own veg have done for a while but my garden has high privet hedges ( not interested in removing them currently) i wish to gain the meter next to the hedge to increase my yield and my garden is not massive and has many other uses currently so thought of the idea of digging a trench a close to the hedge and filling with concrete as a barrier thing is i'm about a foot and half down and the soil is still very dry ! I know i know that's what privet does i'm just wondering what depth i need to go to stop the hedge from just growing under the concrete? any idea? or more to the point how deep privet hedges roots grow would prefer a permanent solution rather than a guess

yeap hate them even though i mainly do highway work of my domestic work i seem to do 90% conifers on domestic work it's all they seem to grow lol
