My post was in response to your comment about 400 quid a day for milling. If your brother hasn't earned less than 600 quid a day for the entire year so far, I'm surprised he needs a mortgage.
-
£400 a day doesn't seem like bad money until you take your costs and tax off. By the time you've done that, and realise you are actually working for not much more than half that, it's a bit depressing.
-
Is that question for me? If so, I have no idea what you do, or why you do it. You'll notice I also used the term 'self employed', but I suppose it's easier to take offence at the term hobby isn't it.
-
The threshold is there so a self employed bloke with no staff and few overheads can make a living without needing to register. If you want a business, you need to register. Not being VAT registered just tells the world you don't get much work. As Steve says, it's also a psychological thing. If you are trying to stay under the threshold, you have completely the wrong mindset to make money.
-
No I didn't, but I knew it was going to need to be a business rather than a hobby or simply 'self employment' for me only, so registered for VAT from the off.
-
If you want to run a business you are going to need to register for VAT. If you want to play at having a business you may not need to.

Probably more well known in recent years for his law of robotics. His ideas are interesting, but it's no surprise that humans are very predictable, we see it a lot on this very forum .

I think it's a bit like a bee sting; for most of us, most of the time, it's just a slight irritation, but if you are susceptible it can cause you real problems. Obviously quantity breathed in is also relevant.
-
It's a very well known problem. Aspergillus fumigatus spores are one to watch out for I think.

World's biggest wood yard?
Retired Climber replied to Ontario Firewood Resource's topic in Firewood forum
As above, it looks like a tip site, not a woodyard. Certainly not owned by someone who knows what they are doing. -
I don't get it.
-
I'm not saying a word. 🙂
-
Agree with above. Don't use a pet as a guard dog if you care about what happens to it. No dog is much of an obstacle if you don't mind hurting it.

Are Honda HRX mowers all they are cracked up to be?
Retired Climber replied to difflock's topic in General chat
Some Honda HRX have twin blades for mulching. My HRX 537 does. -
Woodworm infestation in firewood
Retired Climber replied to Animal-Freeride's topic in Firewood forum
The colouring in the second shot looks like Deathwatch beetle. -
It's not a bad idea from an advertising perspective. Loses its appeal if you look at the homes in the links though, they are horrible.
-
Thanks. Was thinking I should get glasses.
-
No. Do you think it looks like Hornbeam?
-
Yep, that's my guess.

Step cutting unrigged large white willow branches
Retired Climber replied to hesslemount's topic in Rigging and roping
I can't picture this in my head. Would someone be kind enough to draw a picture or something (for the hard of thinking). -
Tree reduction advice and cost
Retired Climber replied to Nils's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I'd do everything I could to retain those trees. It feels like quite a nice little garden with the trees there. Looks like a horrible place to be when you see through the trees though. -
What a lovely place. I want that little yellow house.
-
Why on earth would you want those in a pot? You don't need a pot, you need a skip if you don't want them to blow over.
-
All the HSE data includes morons by default. If you omit the damage morons do to themselves, the figures look much better.
-
Actually, there are worse. At least that one says it does contain peanuts. Some packs of nuts have the standard 'may contain nuts' warning.
