No no, its on his own head. But the Tory Remainers will make full use of this to dispose of the architect of Boris Brexit plan. At least Starmer is now saying he's not gonna try and drag us back into the EU. But who cant trust politicians? I guess the Party have finally realised that the general population do not want back into the EU and its a losing policy to pin your flag to. But what he says and what he does could be a very different matter, considering he's another Remoaner.

Agreed. Although I fear the Remoaners will use this as leverage. Stupid Dom!

I have to agree here too. I think he should be hung out to dry for his actions. If you're gonna advice and this advice becomes enforceable by the police then you better make damn sure you follow that advice. Id have done the same as him, mind. But that's not the point.

The Civil Service is becoming the Tail that wags the Dog. Unaccountable and unelected shadowy figures that have got to big for their boots. There seems to be little civility from them these days nor do they seem themselves as servants.

Ah yeh of course. Never thought of that aspect before. Hoe many days before you travel out?

A million pounds or a million Kiwi Dollars? How old are you if you dont mind me asking? Ive thought about emigrating to a English Speaking Country before. NZ and Canada seem to fit the Bill. Even the US but seems really hard to get in there and the people are proper crazy. I think at 41 I might have left it to late?

Another thing on my 'to-buy' list is a Trencher. I really like laying Pipe and I think it would make this much easier to attain.

You have to go into quarantine before you're allowed off-shore in the UK sector? Canny be easy, especially with the HMRC still breathing down your neck. No, they where a proper bunch of twats. Imagine Abbott having anything to do with this? She could not even leave the house with the same pair of shoes on, its frightening to think people would still prefer that shower of twats to be running the show. but still, if they're moaning about Dom and moaning about finding the guidelines to confusing I guess they have it pretty good.

No, I do get what you're saying. I certainly dont give a shit and its clear those that do are Leftie Luvies and Remoaner Tories with an Axe to Grind. Just more politics and regular folk get sucked up into it and start frothing at the mouth. But Dom really should not have gone so heavily against his own guidelines. Three big trips away when others are getting fines for it? Its the kind of hypocrisy we can really do without. Yeh, putting lives in danger? More wank. Seems to be the same twats that fail to understand the governments guidelines and get so confused by they they make memes instead. Anyway, on a brighter note Off-shore workers returning to the UK seem to be exempt from the 14 day quarantine.

Good point! Ive not ploughed any virgin territory in years!

Thanks for the heads up and info. More food for thought! Virgin ground is definitely what I'll be needing worked at some point. Looks like I'll have to maybe increase my budget!

My Mother’s side is from Devon. Does that make us cousins? I could send it to ‘our’ granddad who still lives in Plympton. [emoji16]

I have to agree with you. It’s a terrible message to send and action needs taken. He should be setting an example of the measures he implemented.

Not so much in Norway no. Not in my experiance anyway. Norway has a strong Welfare State and a Strong union mentality. But they also reward hard work and expect people to reap the rewards of that hard work. Norway is a very Capitalist country and the people and government encourage entrepreneurialisim. The tax system in Norway is vastly more fair than in the UK. The people, and Unions are geared to building people up and not tearing them down, working together. I pay slightly more tax in Norway than I would in Scotland (its almost the same now) but I get a lot back through the benefits system. The same level of hate and greed you see prevalent in the Left here in the UK is not apparent in Norway, but they do have Jante's Law. Norway's Prime Minister Erna Solberg has been in this position since 2013. She is the Leader of the Conservative Party (central-right, same as our Conservative Party). In reference to Margret Thatcher she is often refereed to as Iron Erna off-shore. Left leaning people, and others who are ignorant of the political landscape here often tout Norway as a working model of a rich Socialist Country. It is nothing of the Sort. It is a Capitalist Country, with a Conservative Party in Power that also has a strong welfare state. But also a very strict welfare state, they do not put up with the lefts hand-wringing like they do here in the UK.

It has nothing to do with the most vocal being dour, (in your opinion at least). Its the ruling political party using this 'pandemic' as a Political Tool, weaponising it for their own ends at the cost of the Scottish population.

Sounds like they're using C-19 to hammer as much folk through the tills as they possibly can. It was bad enough in there before, feck that.

Not only the carbon footprint of importing Kiln Dried logs from Eastern Europe but the systematic destruction of their forests by the Mafia and the Government officials they have in their pockets. I would not support anyone or any business buying Logs from there.

I need your address first.

I also have an X27. Its kinda Meh. Takes quite a few swings to bust into a big round and wont look at big knotty stuff. I dont think my size is the issue either, Im 6'.1" and just a ba hair under 15 stone. I just bought a Rock Machinery 22t Road Tow Splitter instead.

Im slowly working my way around everyone. I'm getting the new guys as soon as they join before they get any wiser and making a killing.

Yet.......

Hates the sound of Chainsaws but asks for advice from people who make a living from Chainsaws.

Seems like they are all as bad as each other. The Police, the Politicians, all at it all over the country. They should face heavy repercussions for telling us what to do and not following it themselves.

I'll do some more digging. I did raise this concern with my own solicitor but she gave me the impression that that's just the way it is. If I put the gates up they still have the legal access. Seems like three sets of gates within 100m in England is not allowed, but there does not seem to be a case on this in Scotland. But Im only wanting gates at the start and end of my property. The neighbors are not impressed with this at all. They think its a hindrance to their business, ie the barn Conversion and the Wife's Art Studio and also a hassle for their own daily access. But within a year my small drive is going to be very busy with all sorts of folk I dont know coming up and down my Drive. I feel that everything will have to be locked down all the time. Maybe my stuff should be better locked down but we dont really have any issues where I live, but I dont want to advertise what Ive got to anyone who's passing. They still have their own drive of course. But the Drive is narrow and cars coming and going will run into each other. So I see why they are so adamant to keep a one way system. The threat of installing gates seems to be keeping them in check right now. But who knows what they have brewing, without a doubt they will be investigating their legal options. A potential option would be to install automatic Gates. I said to him that was the plan all along, and it was till I see the price of they systems. So potentially Id only install at the Road Entrance and if they want another to access their property more conveniently they can pay for the other. My Brother raised a concern of Automatic Gates and small children though. So might have to re-think that.

Well this is very true. Its not really land I use other than parking when we have a load of guests over. (not often) And when Im reversing my logosol Bandsaw Mill back into the Parking area. It might put people off buying but as its so far from the house Im not sure anyone would be overly bothered with it being there? But it might hinder erecting a new fence, as the old fence is now no longer the boundary, its 500mm closer to me. And the old one is knackered.
