  1. I hope you’re right. But never underestimate the ability of people to be vindictive sneaky little bitches. 🤣If they’re paying into it and you’re not and there’s a path to eliminate you and take your customers then I can see some doing just that.
  2. But for those that do they run the risk of being dobbed in. Even if you don’t and someone was of the mind to dob you in you’ll be known locally and still be at risk. Not that easy to fly completely below the radar.
  3. I’ll buy as much as the piggybank allows. I’m getting to keep as much as I want up on his farm as I’ll be milling then moulding logs up there as I have a workshop there as well. Free use of the Avant if I buy 100t as well. 😁
  4. Whaaaaaat! I can have as much of this as I want for £35 a ton delivered. [emoji16]
  5. I guess thats a question you need to meditate on in private......
  6. People whining on forums about every day small talk
  7. I think Id go for a known branded one
  8. So......where you winning or not?
  9. We have needed a major step-change for a long time now, Globalization has a lot to answer for and if we are to reduce our consumption of oil transporting tat and Avacados inadvertently because of a lack of drivers then so be it I find locally poroduced items quite cheap, 25kg bags of Maris Piper tatties for £7,50 lasts us ages and is significantly cheaper than Tescos, carrots in 10kg net bags from Harbros for £3, you just need to know where to go, And if significantly more people shopped locally then the price should in theory come down It all sounds like a win/win
  10. I kind of covered that with my earlier two comments.
  11. I kinda covered that with this post earlier, its my take on it anyway.
  12. Name the last Labour leader that was not.
  13. Well if nothing else it will reduce our Carbon footprint, mean cleaner air and less contested roads. We’d also be consuming less Chinese crap and perhaps have to start buying more locally.
  14. Not to mention these supposedly easy to qualify events are easy to qualify for the vast majority of the first world. Europe, Russia, USA, Canada, Scandinavia, Japan Australia and NZ. So it’s still very commendable for the U.K. to place where they do.
  15. I guess most folk consider financial wealth as “rich”. But as you say you can be considered rich by other parameters. I’ve been happily married for coming on 21 years now. 4 kids with her and been together since she was 15 and I 18. We have a happy home and enjoy various pursuits together and we’re all perfectly healthy . I’d consider that rich beyond the vast majority of the worlds population. I do feel I’m sacrificing to much off my life for my job. But that’s really due to Covid these days. Normally I work 80-120 days a year. Apart from that I’m home with the kids. I really can’t complain.
  16. That’s the best way. But if some unknown distant relative died and leaves me a million or two I’ll not complain.
  17. Anyway, 4th in the world. Amazing result and one the whole of the U.K. should be extremely proud of.
  18. Not seen much on here regarding the UKs outstanding performance at the Olympics this year Fourth overall is simply an amazing achievement for our small island 22 Golds for GB, the next best European country managed 10. Not bad for the sick man of Europe I guess? https://www.visualcapitalist.com/olympic-medal-count-tokyo-2020/
