Must be the Tories

100% Mark Utter utter scaremongering bullshit. Watching some of the interviews this morning was a joke, tv news anchors demanding an instant fix to every problem. Normally it comprises something along the lines of fetch cheap labour in not train our own people.

Where you based if anyone wants to check it out ??

Army has been quietly cut to the bone for years so not sure how they think they have a surplus of HGV drivers. Sturgeon had brought army into to drive ambulances which basically covers up years of mismanagement. Less consumerism, shop local, better public transport ie not a manky bus service ran for huge profits etc the changes required are huge and wont happen until Politicians of all sides start looking long term. To tell truth the country is in a ****************ing mess after all those years in the EU and looking at the current bunch of clowns -both side of the house I fear it will get worse before it gets better.

They have a lot to answer for, I’ll try and find the quote on here regarding talking a recession into place with a few headlines so yeah MSM. I’ve got my HGV1 and have toiled to keep it up to date with The red tape involved ie ongoing training etc etc. Many times over the years I’ve dropped onto agency HGV work if the Diving went quiet during the winter but I don’t do it for back up now because the wages were dragged down to the point it was just not worth it. People can cry and blame brexit or covid blah blah but this has been a long time coming. Zero long term planning or investment in the workforce but rather an obsession with cheap labour from overseas and bullshit media headlines do not help. I’d hazard a guess in regards the sheep queuing for fuel in as much as if they hadn’t seen it on the news today they wouldn’t even notice a Fuel Crisis was upon us, somewhat like covid too seeing as apparently we are still in the grip of a pandemic 🤷‍♂️

Why is there a shortage of lorry drivers? The UK’s fuel crisis explained APPLE.NEWS Why is there a shortage of lorry drivers? There is an estimated shortage of 100,000 heavy goods... Quite a sensible look at things

MSM this morning J 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️as someone else on here said they can literally make something out of nothing. Having it front and centre this morning all over every network and then saying don’t bulk or panic buy the outcome was predictable. Wagon driver shortage has been building for years, sadly in multiple interviews this morning it seemed the only answer the media could come up with was fetch in foreign labour. Short term fixes and cheap labour are not the answer I’d say, train people and look long term. Regards Xmas etc a few less wagonloads of cheap Chinese shit and a few less turkeys on the plates wont harm anyone, consumerism and wanting the next best thing is to blame for a lot of what’s wrong today. You still running that V10 eco wagon 😳

Where you based ?? I’m sure knowing that would help potential buyers, to be honest to get a bit of kit like that cheap nowadays in current climate is unusual to say least. I’ll be up front bud this cloak and dagger stuff is setting off alarm bells with I’d say most lads reading this. Contact Riko and quote serial number or take a pic of the ID plate and post it so lads can do a bit of research themselves.

Where you based ??. Surely you know what you paid for it ?? How long you actually had it ??. My firsts port of call would be to ask Riko quote serial number and see what they say . Pretty sure most people whom purchase and use eqpt within and industry know its inherent value as it gets used and ages etc etc.

👍yeah two controllers etc etc pretty basic but works well enough.

Yeah sort of Andy but it still throws a lot out before it makes it to the outlet. Joe fabbed up a 45degree elbow to take a discharge hose but I think I’ll be chasing him to get a go on his sheet metal roller to further open up the outlet to come out the bottom a bit more rather than the side.

Hopefully that makes sense, 12v hydraulics and the winch are ran from a battery in pick up bed with an Anderson connector/extension set up.

Looks like Woodmizer have that side of things pretty well sorted then, I’ve a list of things I want to tweak on mill and one of them is to open up the outlet more on the bottom rather than the side, bit of sheet metal work but should be achievable.

👍👍Every day is a school day Saul, had to google that one bud.

Nice to get back on the Mill. Cutting some Birch planks for a pal and what’s turning out to be quite nice Elm.

Tidy set up, are you running some kind of extraction system with that ?? The Trakmet tends to throw dust everywhere including on me, doesn’t matter how hard I try to set up with the wind at my back it just seems that site layout etc dictates otherwise.

Thing is Stu with woke fruitcakes like yourself enough is never enough, I find it had to disagree with any of HBDs post. I’ve no gripes with gay individuals or indeed if you actually want to wear a dress or are in fact a woman called Stu. But NHS funding this madness 🤷‍♂️ It’s just insane. Myself yes I’d love a full head of hair and to look like Brad Pitt but alas that’s not the cards I’ve been dealt. Should I go to NHS and say I’ve mental health problems and need a few procedures and a hair transplant 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️Some may do and I think that’s as wrong as what we are describing here. Deal with what life has dealt you how I was brought up. NHS is not a bottomless pit of money.

I do hold strong views on it whenever use of NHS money is being promoted and used to as the article describes potentially ruin children’s lives. I’ll ask you a question did you know what you truly wanted to be or do before in this case puberty ???. So as you are one of the follow the science advocates on here for the past 18 months can you tell me that a male can be a female or a female a male after a surgical procedure ??.

They can be what they want Saul I just don’t think it’s down to the NHS to be encouraging or paying for it in children.

At 12 they are in my opinion too young to make that life long decision. If his names Jack I’ve no intentions of calling him Jill. Hope that’s straight enough an answer for you. Quite frankly I doubt very much that it’s even a remotely plausible scenario in the overwhelming majority of people’s lives. I’m happy to give a straight answer to any question bud, but don’t try and create a variety of scenarios to justify a point of view.

If that’s the best what if scenario you can come up with bud your better off quitting digging now. I don’t work with women as a rule but regards the blokes most hold the same views as me and the majority of right minded half sensible people. You are born male or female you can not change that. Gender reassignment is nothing more than a surgical procedure it does not make a man into a woman or a woman into a man except in the twisted deluded minds of fools.

The individual in question totally regretted the decision, that’s first hand experience of the whole twisted system. The ones fighting it are promoting it 🤷‍♂️and offer the service no doubt at huge cost to the NHS to facilitate it.

You have to be kidding bud !! Mind you why am I surprised at you putting up absolutely idiotic crap up like that !. Sorry but if you are born a male you are a man if you are born a female you are a woman anything else is utter snowflake woke bullshit and as much as you might think it’s so beautiful to identify as non binary or the opposite sex it’s just not reality. Now if you are attracted to the same sex Stu thats fine, I work with a Diver who’s openly as gay as gay can be, great guy excellent at his job no probs at all, a good good friend to boot. Far too much emphasis placed on this sort of thing by a vociferous tiny handful of people. My 12yr old twins were talking of the same thing up here in Scotland due to the lunatic fringe of the SNP and teachers unions etc and the Gender stuff they are obsessed with. I tried to explain it by asking them as their father if tomorrow I wanted to identify as Pauline rather than Dave and decided to be a woman would that make me a woman 🙄 they laughed and agreed if course it wouldn’t. That’s the cold hard facts of the matter regardless of if I take hormones get a pair of tits and chop the old meat and two vedge off 🤷‍♂️ NHS is there for the greater good and quite frankly shit like this and gender reassignment surgery is I’d imagine not what it was ever envisioned being tasked with and as far as I’m concerned an utter waste of money, It’s utter madness quite frankly. More than that it’s a danger to children because let’s face it who the hell knows what they want at that age and may well totally regret the actions they took later in life.

Landmark ruling limiting under-16s use of puberty blockers overturned APPLE.NEWS Last year, the High Court ruled children under 16 needed parental consent to take puberty blockers. Absolute utter lunacy that such rubbish should be offered to kids. This I’d say is not what people pay into the system for.

Yeah that’s correct it has to be back at front and the two spring loaded poles engaged on the strips etc to power the 12v system. Shuttle valves were suggested by one of engineers onboard the vessel im on but he asked about frequency of use etc ie it’s better if they are in use regularly 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️I’ve no idea if that’s correct but all this is in the planning and procurement stage so all input is good 👍.
