    conscription is fine as long as all eligible sons/daughters of every single MP, Peer and civil servant are in the first wave off the beach. Once they are all gone then they can recruit the general public.

    unlikely china has the know how, its why they want taiwan so badly all the world use it for the most advanced chips. UK should have invested years ago in semiconductors. They are starting now but best case it will take a minimum of 20 years just to catch up. New £1 billion strategy for UK's semiconductor sector - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK A new 20-year plan to secure the world-leading strengths of the UK’s semiconductor industry has today (Friday 19 May) been unveiled by the government.

    they cant make any of the current gen chips in volume, neither can we mind. Like the Russians they can do speak and spell chips no worries.

    it would be a massive turkey shoot. first 24 hours all the russian anti-air would be taken out giving free reign same as in the gulf. Then follows a week of the systemic destruction of their entire infrastructure, factories, bridges, dams, power stations etc etc. If they were still mad enough to send infantry without air cover they it would be a massacre like the iraqi armoured column leaving kuwait in the gulf war. Remember they are socialists so literally nothing works, for example all the tyres on the lorries were ****************ed as they never rotated them. All kit is old tech and crap. They are living of the ex-USSR era rocket specialists for missiles but they are finite and need western chips anyway. They havent got (neither have we) a single latest grade semiconductor factory for example. We should only be worried about the bill for the massive amount of ordinance the military is going to be ordering from Kays catalogue on 52 weeks.

    if your going to be doing featheredge get a air nailer that takes the coils of stainless steel nails. faster, cheaper and lighter than a paslode. We run ours off a battery dewalt flexvolt compressor. Also have the dewalt cordless auger, great bit of kit. Skip the merchants and find a sawmill, much cheaper. if you have a yard get pallets of it.

    main thing you need is plenty of cash for when they muller the kit and you have to replace it. Just have a look at the 1 year old kit from GAP absolutely muntered.

    more bollox from councils. its a dropped kerb couple hundred mm into the ground. not a 3m footing. Shame there is no way to remove these wastes of oxygen from their highly paid unsackable positions.

    maybe the corp tax but unless you do not enter the purchases and sales yourself then your wasting money on the bean counter for VAT.
  13. donnk
    try clearbooks, it does the vat for you. saving the accountant charges. piss easy to use as I can use it.

    yes agree admitting anything to plod is idiotic. remain silent, let solicitor do the talking. remember plod can lie to you legally but you cant to them. The clue to a caution being a criminal record is that it shows up on a criminal records check.
  15. donnk
    never accept a police caution, you will have a criminal record thereafter. A caution is offered usually as the case isnt strong enough to take to the courts.

    switch to electric.

    our owned from new daily tipper is being chopped in for an e-daily in the autumn. wonder if its worth advertising rather than just chopping in ? 2016 2.8 auto iveco daily twin wheel. 33000 miles, goes to site and back and thats it. 5 ton rated tipper body. 1.2 ton lift 2.5m reach factory fitted atlas hiab, recently serviced at the factory. uprated suspension. whole lot weighs 2.8ish ton, carrys 5 ton no issue at all cough cough tow bar + electrics.

    if your not turning enough to pass vat threshold then you must be close to minimum wage.

    buy your yard/lock up personally, say 100k. Loan the company 150k on paper. company makes a pension payment to your SIPP off 150k pension buys yard off you for 150k. (can raise mortgage if needed). pension charges ltd comp 2 x market rent for use of yard to save double tax. result. comp owes you 100k you own the yard tax writeoff of 150k + monthly rent. how think big business does it...

    edit: Put her and the dumper on ebay for cheap starting to see if any interest. jcb 8008 micro digger 2019 WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Runs and digs fine. sold as seen. jcb HTD-5 Diesel tracked dumper WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for jcb HTD-5 Diesel tracked dumper at the best online prices at eBay! Free delivery for many products! im thinking of moving on our jcb 8008 micro as we dont use it enough really, what are they worth now ? Has the covid crazy prices settled down ? What should I be asking for it ? Also got a HTD-5 with it id probably let go as well, again what are they worth ? Looking on ebay the prices seem ridiculous with some asking 14+k for older models, that cant be right surely ? its 2019 with 850 hours, 3 buckets just had new tracks. No faults.
