There is that as well. But both are seen here in Norway as well. Marriage, if there is any does not seem to last any longer here than it does in the U.K. very few partners seem to stay together for long. Property investment is no different either. Second homes! Come to Norway, you’ll soon learn about second home ownership. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

But is not the cause of this, as you already admit, over crowding? Over crowding caused in the main part by a massive influx of cheap Labour from the EU. Couple this with the significant drop in wages again due to the mass influx of cheap Labour from the EU. Everything you describe above can be placed firmly at the feet of the EU.

I see it’s his birthday today. So it’s either the reason he’s extra grumpy or he might perk up later. 🤣

Then take away minimum wage. Lets see how the market reacts to that.

You should look in the mirror a bit more frequently Leslie You might see what many of us here do.....

Not really, I'll freely admit to being wrong. It just does not happen often
-
Aye, fair enough, I'll give you that

Then it would no longer be close to 2t would it?

You put the logs on the mill when its parked up Leslie

I think there would be a lot of surprises. But I can see the net contributors wanting out and the net beneficiaries voting to stay in. The EU has destroyed the landscape of Europe irreversibly.

Sorry Eggy. I genuinely could not see where I wrote that. Never thought to look at your posts

It would be a very interesting project if all the countries within the EU where allowed their own referendum.

Ok? It was not in the quote you asked the question in so Im out.

Ive no idea? Who wrote it?

I could tell you a few stories. You'd not believe a word

And they earn every penny! Im hard pressed to rod my own drains let alone anyone else.

Well that was something I was gonna comment on as well. Its basically communism with extra steps added.

Pints might be £12 a pop here but no one drinks them. They get hammered on homebrew, moonshine and 'black' booze then heard into town for an hour, have a drink or two then head back for an after party. There is no 'local' mentality here. Everyone works better and harder when you've gone from earning pennies to a kings ransom over night Not for £9 an hour they cant. Not while there is an abundance of benefits that payout almost the same. The whole system is an utter mess.
-
Exactly, its not going to encourage anyone. The reality is they need to look at what £9 an hour buys someone from Latvia, or Poland and offer the British the same. Im quite sure we'll see an end to folk here being called 'lazy brits'

Perhaps the lure of cheap foreign labour should never have been allowed to be danged in front of them? Businesses will always look at the bottom line as opposed to following a moral compass. Do you think companies would follow the Minimum wage laws if they where removed? Of course not. Where we not to have have the EU thrust upon on Id suspect we'd not be in the situation we are now. 25% increases in the catering industry is a start, as is seeing trades commanding £250-£300 a day wages. I'll hazard a guess that the buying power of these wages will be akin to what a tradie was on, and what he could buy on his wages before the mass influx of cheap labour, ie a home going back to being 3 x their yearly wage. Inflation is skyrocketing on a global scale, not just in the UK. Time to invest in Gold again :D

Yeh, Ive always just screwed the round to a board or two from below and/or from the side so you can straddle two bunks and so the log wont try and tip over. Then clamp the board to the bunks as per usual. I dont think the Op is on about what most folk would consider cookies though, I think hes specifically after 'surf board' Slabs that have a ring of bark around them, ovals as some call them.

I think talking about cock is his day-job.

Strange new twist in hiring staff.

Makes more sense than the story I was told anyway. Still, came in by boat and was auctioned off at the quayside. No idea what it made though, maybe Dave knows. I'll stick to getting my supply from the Estates around me -

Certainly makes more sense. They must have something like Samson Posts down there like Rigs do on the Pipe Decks?
