Breaker Bar and Cant Hook
trigger_andy replied to TuscanPhil's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Don’t Stihl just re-brand Logrites? Obviously not their wooden handles ones but the aluminium ones? These ones deffo are Rebranded Logrites. Which shows you just how good the a Logrites are. -

Should be easy to Mill if anyone has a Feather Edger attachment on their Mill. Then a quick pass over the Spindle Molder.

Breaker Bar and Cant Hook

Ive got a 60" Logrite Canthook. Way better than the crappy Felling Lever/Cant Hook combo's. -
out of interest what cars do you have?

You're yet to prove your BS math skills on tax. You did a fly bolt on that one I see. Maybe your waiting on your big bro to run the numbers?

I thought that would be right up your street? Keeping the plethora of minimum wage earners in a job is surely a mantra you lot love to repeat? Where they to lose their jobs because of a lack of custom due to the higher earners vacating the cities you'd be the first in line to scream broken Britain, or whatever it is your types like to protest about. 'Does a McD's make you fat? I have about 3 a week when Im home. Im 185cm tall and 14.8stone. A whippet really. Fuel is fuel, calories in and calories out. No human body Ive ever heard of has broken the laws of physics, when you find one let me know.

With any democracy you have to pander to the lowest common denominator as they make up by far the greatest number. When one side offers the world the other has to offer something along the same lines whilst trying to clinging to their beliefs and principles to have a chance of winning the election. So yes, with Labour (and the SNP, it is the modus operandi after all)offering the underclass everything on a plate at the expense of a class they have been conditioned to hate then the likes of the Tories have no option than to pander to the same underclass, or at least attract enough of them to hold Labour at bay for the next 5 years. So, the reality is the tail ends up wagging the dog.

Its another game altogether and one Im not entirely versed in how they operate. You use their product on-line and because you have a UK IP address the revenue you generate looking at their adds in the UK creates a profit for Google that should be taxed in the UK? Something like that? So yeh, tax them more. What would be the repercussions though? I dont really know? Adds that last not 30 seconds but build in multiples to cover their tax bill. No thanks. And to pay for what? Its user generated anyway, nothing physical has been exchanged and I certainly have not bought any products. Your drive to tax everything to death would result in nothing other than more misery for the ordinary person.

How would that help the folk working in Starbucks if no one is shopping in Starbucks? But I agree, these leeches should be paying their far share in tax. Off-shore accounts should be banned. But if you make Starbucks pay a fair tax and then their earnings drop could they recoup the losses through increasing the cost of an already inflated coffee? Not these days. So if the profits are marginalized and they pull out of the UK for better margins in emerging markets where do all the workers in the whole chain get a job? Yay, Labour and communism. Its a broken dream.

I understand how it works. I get my taxes prepped for me each year and Im talked through them. Those figures include the personal allowance. So as I say, trickle down is alive and well.

Its what I do. Only little sheep live their lives in fear of the boogie man. Want a Blankie?

Even a simple search shows how far out you are here. Someone on £100k pays £33,461 in tax and NI. Someone on £25k pays £4,462 in tax and NI Now, I suspect maths is not one of your strong suits but even you can see 4 x 4,462 does not add up to 33,461. You'd need 7.5 £25k earners just to pay the same tax as a £100k earner. Not to mention all the perks and benefits a £25k earner gets on top of their meager earnings.

I never once ,mentioned a left or right agenda, I certainly never mentions anything Leftie or righty. So, what to do next? Well, now you mention the left and the right I've repeatedly heard from the left leaning mob that trickle down economics dont work. Well sorry sunshine, but clearly they do. Higher earners seem to be keeping lower earners in a job and seem to been propping up the economy. Unless Ive misinterpreted it all and the City Centers are all doing ok without the high earners/tax payers? Id have to look into your figures on the £25k and £100k earners. I suspect your looking purely at what they earn and pay as a PAYE and forgetting about what the £25k earner gets back in 'benifits' .

I was not trying to echo your own sentiments.

Maybe we should have a clap for the office workers if they go back to the office? Seems like they'd be saving the UK to far greater degree than the NHS with their 4 hour commute, sky high tax and what they spend in the city center. Seems like the 1% are are not only propping up the economy with their tax flow they are also keeping the Oiks in a jobs as well. Instead of ostracizing the higher earners its about time they where given the recognition they where due? This 'crisis' has inadvertently exposed this. But instead the MSM is begrudging them for not wanting to get back on the rat wheel for no reason other than to keep a sandwich worker in a menial, minimum wage job that the person who's no longer buying the sandwiches is ultimately subsidizing anyway. Its hilarious. I love it though, it exposes this failed pinko commie system we have for what it is.

Its not just the UK government thats not got a clue. Im in Quarantine in a hotel in Stavanger. The hotel still has regular guests. Im allowed to go to the bar and order a beer. I grab a coffee in the reception area along with all the other paying customers. Its mad.

Your daughters the same age as my second oldest daughter then. My oldest is 19. We thought we'd start again for some strange reason. Best decision of our lives I think. I have either forgot the joy of spending endless days with little ones or I simply worked to hard when I was younger the first time and was hardly in the country to appreciate them.

She is. Not sure if thats from me or her Mother.

Hope so too. Im sure she will. Nothing like muddy puddles, wiggly worms and playing with the ducks and chickens to take her mind off of it though. Oh, and fresh veg. [emoji3]

Was for my 2 year old. Shes getting horrendous eczema on all her joints. Its heartbreaking really. Scratching day and night till she's bleeding. Its really painful when applying the cream so she fights it all the time. Gone are the days I'll be needing any special cream. Hemorrhoid cream maybe one day?

I don’t drink down the local much these days. Always an option if I’m needing my fix though. I swear my town Center is getting worse. Seen two methhead fights outside and within the local Chemist getting a prescription for me daughter the week before. Had to go to the chemist three days on the trot for some cream and was blown away by the utter scum that have now made the chemist their second home.

I’m just pissed off JK’s been cancelled. Was the highlight of my mid-morning viewing.
