  1. I believe they will struggle as well. £140k sounds like a lot but you’re absolutely hammered with tax on that. It’s highly likely they have cut their cloth accordingly to their wages. So they’ll have a mortgage based on their income, and I’ll assume a house that’s s fairly large size out in the sticks if they’re on heating oil. With Heating Oil trebling over the last 2 years that could make a significant difference to what, if any disposable income they may have previously budgeted for. Every working man is going to be hit hard by this. The green eyed monster is not going to change that.
  2. Its still summer, give it time. Anyway, folk wont really change their habits, they'll just spend the same of frivolities then claim they are drying from not being able to heat their homes, or not be able to afford to heat a couple of tins of beans and some toast then refuse to pay their heating bill.
  3. You would do if you could put a lid on the glass. It would literally make no difference, you're gonna shake the can anyway.
  4. This 'crisis' has nothing to do with dependence on fossil fuels. Its caused in its entirety of pushing and pandering to a green agenda with nothing in place to replace the fossil fuels we currently require. Its the short sightedness (that Trump warned about) that has resulted in Europe paying lip service to Green Energy yet letting Russia do all their dirty work thats come back to bite us all in the Ass. This has resulted in Operators in the North Sea both in the UK but also Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands being given an almost free reign fast track the development of Fields that would otherwise have not gone ahead or would have faced more red tape. The company I work for has been given the contract for 185 new Wells for AkerBP in the Norwegian Sector alone. We have so much work coming up we're no longer looking for new work all the way up to 2025 as we need to be able to supply the contracts we now have in place. Its the new Oil Boom for us. There is no crisis other than Oil Companies using a disruption in the flow of O&G that we already used and required from Russia to hike their prices up. Brent Crude is not even $100 a barrel ffs. We're been punished for strangling our own ability to be self sustaining all in the name of being 'Green' and so many are blinded to this.
  5. Is anyone apart from the Usual Suspects here actually surprised at this? Effects of lockdown could be causing more deaths than Covid | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK The Office for National Statistics' figures for excess deaths revealed that about 1,000 more people than usual are dying each week from illnesses and conditions other than Covid.
  6. Eggs, you speak shit all the time though. So if you think Im talking nonsense then just piss off now then? I never started this convo but Im ending it now. See ya.
  7. Would be simple enough to just pour the fuel into a measuring jug to check.
  8. The fact remains that Mark is a man that advocates and supports higher taxes for the working man to support the lazy and feckless whilst gloating that he does not pay tax. Its disgusting.
  9. This is a man who continually advocates higher taxes and votes for the party that will tax the working man more whilst at the same time systematically goes out of his way to avoid paying any tax at all and then gloats about it. As I say, rank hypocrisy.
  10. Makes for grim reading. Everyone, everyone who is not a millionaire will be hit hard. This twat is suggesting a sliding relief scheme where those on Benefits and Pensions will be given the most relief and those on neither will get virtually nothing. Whilst I dont have a problem with the vulnerable and elderly getting assistance I balk at those on Benefits being given carte blanche to use use as much as they feel like and the tax payer who will not be able to heat their home very much will end up paying for not only for their extortionate energy bills but the lazy and feckless as well. This knobend whilst acknowledging the Energy company's are profiteering doers not suggest that the Government do something about the profiteering instead has suggested for a way for the taxpayer to directly pay the exorbitant prices the Energy Companies are demanding to them. This utter twat is suggesting stealing from the already heavily burdened, to fund those that already do not contribute to society and handing it to the rich. Its no wonder you support this though Mark as you've made it abundantly clear for years now that you're a tax dodger and pay virtually nothing in tax and laugh at those who do then tell them to get a better accountant. Your rank hypocrisy knows no bounds.
  11. Teenage Dirtbag was a banger, anything else in the pipeline?
  12. Im not sure how I ended my post in Breaking Bad style.
  13. The Guide bar will not not be damaged by the act of clamping it to the Mill. A 28" Bar will give you about 22'" of cutting width though, so if you have wider Oaks than this then get the 36" Bar and get yourself an extra few inches. You'll get maybe 30" with a 36" Bar. For Chains there is a whole range of Milling Chain out there. Id get something like this; 3653-36RMX Stihl Ripping 3/8 .063[1.6mm] Chainsaw Chain WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK Special Rapid-Micro horizontal saw chain, primarily for use in conjunction with horizontal cutting devices as well as mobile small sawmills. You need to check what pitch that bar takes etc. If you're milling Slabs or beams then its worth using the Alaskan but for Cladding its a waste of time, fuel and timber. As you say, best getting that Bandsaw in. Yo
  14. Thats Farmers though, right? Not Households. There is no plans for Household restrictions as far as Im aware.
  15. Got a link to that?
  16. I could so with a wee 10" Planer as well. Handy for Mantles etc. I have access to a nice Wadkin 20" for bigger stuff and the local shop has a 24" wide Planer I can get time on.
  17. No plans for water restrictions though. Rain is due later this week, its all good.
  18. Not in Scotland we dont.
  19. Stoppages on the Canal? National emergency right there! 🤣🤣🤣
  20. We only buy full fat Ribena as a Squash. The apple and orange juice we buy the kids does not have sweeteners added, we check.
  21. I’ve a Cali Common and a Belgian “Christmas Mince Pie” Double fermenting right now. FG on both are down to 1.010SG and ready for bottling. The missus will do that tomorrow. We’ll wash the yeast on the Cali and re-use it for my next AG brew which will be an American ale. This strain should give a very clean profile which should pair well with the Citra Hops I intend to use.
  22. I do a lot of home brewing. Which is why I find your comments comical.
  23. And where do you think they got the water for the small beer?
  24. And you know why that is dont you?
