  1. That's quite a broad spectrum. Could you define that? In all honestly you've just described what I imagine Labour would consider a VW Golf and a Toothbrush.
  2. The UK is beyond doubt a rip off. Its eye wateringly expensive for those that contribute the most and they/we get so little recognition or anything back. We're just told we need to shoulder more and more as we're clearly earning too much. Hopefully you'll no get your pants pulled down in Sweden and get disillusioned to quickly. I thought Norway was utopia for the first 3 years then reality set in.
  3. My local Shell is out of all petrol and only had diesel in stock. Limited to £30 per person. I was in for petrol for my Jerry cans but since that was out I topped off my diesel tank. Popped over to Asda and again a £30 limit, filled three cans and thought nothing of it. Ended up back there later that as I bought my daughter a car to pass her test in. Only let me put £7 as Id used my card earlier. You can imagine the looks on the folks behind as I put the nozzle back and punch in another card to add what they must imagine is another £30.
  4. If you’ve not read it how do you know this?
  5. Very well put. entrepreneurialism is very much encouraged as well. I pay less tax in Norway than I would do in Scotland. Between £5-10,000 less a year in Norway and you do not get punished for earning more by having all the benefits available to you means tested. So I still get full child benefit and just had a lump sum of Cash for Care back dated due to Brexit. A nice wee 70,000nok in the bank account on Friday. Unheard of in the U.K.
  6. No body believes any government in the UK are acting in the peoples best interest, they just vote for the person/party that they feel will screw them and the country over the least.
  7. Ok, whatever gets you through the night.
  8. That makes no sense. Everyone has the same opportunity to fill up. Why would those low on fuel not be able to pull in and wait as well? I literally did that today. It sucks fat balls but hardy headline news.
  9. I hope you paid for 30 litres! 🤣🤣🤣
  10. And in my opinion thats directly related to being in the EU. The plasters been ripped off and its time to suck it up.
  11. Because Tree Surgery seems to be a minimum wage job? Might as well have a ministry of Tesco Check-out Girls. Incoming!
  12. Who's saying they will not be needed in 8-12 months? A HGV Driver is for life, not just for Christmas.
  13. Yip, Ive yet to 'panic buy' in my life. Went to fuel up today since I was low and the local station was mobbed. Its bogroll gate all over again.
  14. That’s the most bizarre suggestion I’ve seen to date.
  15. You’re clearly getting on in years so your memory might be slipping. You can’t find any evidence to back up your claim and blame the internet for that. When I try to give you a plausible explanation you post up a link that backs up everything I previously stated. I’ve spent quite a few years Distilling and I’ll assume you have not. I’ve done a lot of research prior to starting and during my distilling days. I’ve also spent a lot of time with Distillers in Norway who make 1-2000 litre batches. I’ll assume you have not. What you do seem to have is old wives tails and a supposed plethora of links to back up what I can only describe is your baseless and ignorant opinion. Please tell me if I’ve got anything above wrong.
  16. Have you tried a 12-24” length of flexi hose on the end of the outlet? It should direct all the sawdust down the way.
  17. So what’s the point of posting a link that backs up everything I’ve already said? Why not post up something from the plethora of info on what you’re so desperately yet failing to make a point of? The article you pointed out showed that methanol was added to moonshine by some unscrupulous moonshiners to make the moonshine go further, or perhaps it was the law enforcement themselves. That’s basically the same explanation I gave with the lads off-shore potentially added MEG to give their hooch a punch. And I only suggested that based on your old wives story about some riggers waking up blind. But you could be right, the guys in the 70’s could well have been breaking down old pallets and distilling them into Methanol on the pipe deck and drinking that. Sounds far more plausible than making prison hooch in their cabins. [emoji849]
  18. You’ve either not read the article in your own link or you simply don’t understand it. I might not have been laughing at you before but I certainly am now.
  19. I can’t think of one good reason why anyone would intentionally produce wood alcohol (methanol) when they’d have everything on hand to produce Ethanol. Perhaps it was reported later in this edition?
  20. Beech for the head, or maple. If he’s really set on a different shaft then some straight grained Ash.
