  1. Still able to get them?
  2. Still got them?
  3. Still got the 365?
  4. Didn't mention newlyn I was comparing and saying where I pulled into Norway the second biggest port/processing area was something smaller than thought considering Norway is so into its fish, and the whole thing about it being out of the EU with a good deal, yet we had a good fishing fleet and we've been fkd over again.
  5. Rover cars went tits up due to people getting greedy and wanting more money for relatively unskilled work, plus also the money they were on was good money in the mid 90s, just silly enough to follow a trade union. Type two, poor food or poor food choices is poverty, but u can be poor but still eat well, but u can't fix poor lifestyle choices.... Thes always hope, maybe it's my mind set.. And yes it was 2003, I lived on my own and the was zero work around, wether it was arboriculture, landscaping, amenity horticulture, site work or anything to do with equestrian work... So i had to cycle or run to work, live off a £5er a week for food... Until I got paid... It was hard because if you were lone parent, single mom, the was help, single male and u miss out on everything. And the were no food banks then, no luxuries like make up, mobile phones, hair dye, painted nails (not that I'm into that) but an example of skewed priorities. Also the sky TV thing was a local vicar was telling me about his conversation with adult social services when running a food bank!!!!!
  6. I did a cruise of the Norwegian fjords, a native on the tour said the port we pulled into said "this is norways second biggest fish processing port" it's was tiny not that impressive in the way of ports or fish processing plants bearing in mind norways out of the EU and has heavy involvement in fishing... But il ask the other half when she gets in, because although I visited the place I can't remember where it was.... Bar the was an echo dealership there!
  7. Humour me, then, so what did the Indians bring with them, the Italians and then the americans? The gumph regarding kraft... Hate to say it but the EU gave them a grant before with left the EU, that was before kraft took them over.... way before, but if you valued the product and workforce why don't u build a factory on the outskirts of bham? You have the product and the workforce....... As goes for rubbish food, no one makes you eat "rubbish food" nothing wrong with any food as long as u burn it off and eat it moderation. If your loosely trying to make a link between poverty, fast food obesity and type 2 diabetes.... That's lame.. People in this country dont know what poverty is. It's skewed proities and dire lifestyle choices. Since when is sky TV classed as a necessity? That's the difference, coming from someone who's done bread and jam diet, knocked on people's doors in stoke to make a bit more cash... And has had to walk or run 7 miles each way to work.... Then do a manual job until work picked up....
  8. Oh I don't know about the bigger block thing, I mean Norway has its deal with eu and seems to do quite well out of it, even if norways 2nd biggest fishing port looked small compared to Brixham.. Tiny to be honest.... Regarding the EU I can't helping thinking, we've lost massey furgeson out of Coventry, Ford tractors, but can't remember why they moved abroad as I was a child then. But I did see cadburys moving abroad with a grant from the EU, bang that's numerous people out of work, thinking of the other factories that were given grants before brexit to move abroad... Then thes the legal crap from the EU as well🙄 As goes for food, again ever immigrant brought their own dish over here, and it's not for government to police, how ever unless u have a medical condition, you should not be over weight. What I do think should of happend is we don't have aspartame in every drink, sugar would have been better rather than us healthy people paying the price for fatties!. Think in sweden coca cola has no phosphoric acid in, and yes it did taste better for it!
  9. My point being that the are a certain group of people that do not want the UK to be good, ok look at the amount junkies we have in this country that never contribute or never have and yet they drain money out of the government.. Make people earn their benefits, so when work does come up they can do it and they are contributing. But how ever you look at it, the UK can't go on like it is... Wether that's the fault of the EU with our industries moving abroad or crappy attitudes thinking "we're to good for that job" can't go on... Thing like the NHS is broke, we give so much money abroad, yet our own house isnt in order, we have this stupid net zero policy that's not helping anything, yet China India and America pollute more than us. Yes it can be turned around but the needs to be a serious shift in attitude.
  10. Thank you for mildy clarifying some things, I still feel that the freedom of movement isn't great at this time, I mean being serious look at the terrorist issues that German has had recently... Surely an open border policy hasn't helped that? Things need to change radically in this country (UK) and it will only happen if someone from outside does it, nothing will happen with Labour conservatives, Green or lib dem... Me I'd love the challenge of turning the country around, but the people who voted Labour, the anti vaxers, the people who want to stay in Europe, people on benefits who could work, the people claiming asylum, pride and I'm sure I've missed other people off wouldn't like me 😂. I'd also say yes Scotland and Wales by all means you can have your country back but no funding from Westminster.. I could go on... I mean thes enough people in our country of working age that don't want to work, so we wouldn't need people from the EU. I don't mind people coming here as long as you fit in, pay tax and integrate... But I can't stand double standards, hypocrisy, wokeness
  11. OK, so why is he crapping on or moaning on a UK forum then? About UK political scene, surely if Europe's so great why are they behaving like they need the UK? and thank you for the correction
  12. That's why they want us to join again, bail them out, because most of the EU is financially buggered like Greece
  13. Well done, that's what the EU wanted, however so much gumph is governed by Europe, that I didn't want or need why should be part of it? After all wasn't the EU set up because people were so scared by Hitler? Look at it now you have the Americans causing gawd knows how many wars indirectly and directly.. Think middle East, Afghanistan, Iraq all caused by America, yet the EU never said whoa, you shouldn't be meddling in that, the EU hasn't said jesus India and packistan, guys both stop being twats - there both nuclear superpowers. So really the gumph that it was set up to stop wars or anything similar. I need to research the serbs and croates and nato before I comment on that, But it's always the English that seem to fix stuff, along with the common wealth. And regarding special treatment, I doubt it.. Just want a level playing feild, non of this woke crap... Or stupid eu directives when we're not in friking Europe! Got to laugh.. Kiers a good English name.... Not. What I have to ask is if Europe is so good, why do you reside in the UK and moan about it?
  14. You do a big disservice to your argument, when you refer to people as ill informed or plain stupid, whether u wanted to stay in or stay out... That was democracy. It's like people voting labour and then wondering why things are going wrong. Got to be careful what you wish for... Somethings will bite you on the arse
  15. But wether people like it or not, we voted to leave and thats it, but I see things differently even though our heritage is Scandinavian. I see a country that didn't like that we won the war, and for ever than a day that will be heald against us.. But they use legislation laws to control the outcome.. Quite pathetic really... Like I said if we were going to trade with them, keep it like the eec. And if the UK wants to go back in then do it democratically. We still need to erase the human rights crap and deport people who have come hear illegally
  16. Theyve nicked cadburys, mf tractors and plant and stuff like the new defender
  17. The EU would have been better as the original trading block Ted heath kept as, not this weird system that dictates are rules and laws. The is so much governed by the EU... Even the tipper body on a truck has to be eu type approved.. I think what bugs me is the way the EU gave a grant to move cadburys to Poland, when if cadburys wanted to move there then they should of funded it, not poached by the EU. The brexit deal was crap, mainly because people weren't honest on both sides of the deal... And we have spineless politicians that never brought the deal we deserved. Democracy was served, we voted to leave so therefore that's it.. Not some sly backhanded get us back in because the remoaners don't agree with what happend. Any one that votes Labour needs to remember that when ever they get in things will go wrong... 2003 we got dragged into afghan? Why it's not our problem! As goes for the EU and open door policy maybe ask the victims of Munich Christmas Market how that went, and the people in sweden, where the indigenous people are getting harassed or abused to wear the burkha. U look at England and we can't even get rid of the human rights act... Which stops us deporting scroats, it allows people in prison to sue the moj... And all the wokies, are now kicking off because they think nigel ferage is the next Hitler... Yet all he's stated is what the other parties should have done to start with and we wouldn't be in this mess now...
  18. Depends what he's trying to make or produce, as to which investor would want to fund it.... Each investor has a different thing they'd want to fund and sponsor, 9 times out of ten for their pittance of investment they'd want their pound of flesh and some.... Go to the bank.... If it's that far fetched and expensive, guarantee it's non viable to start with
  19. I've brought a lidl one, just for really crap chains, where you wear out files Trying to get a chain right. However I'm with Dan blocker, ex boss used to bench sharpen chains, they were never as good as me filing by eye and also the chains producing the perfect shaving
  20. It's the Thames Valley power group or was, based in Didcot, took everything, paid for it I used to deal with them about ten years ago, when I was going to set up a tip site between the local 2 man teams of tree surgeons... But the local ones were a bit dense so it never took off, but they were paying £21 a cube for anything, including that they supplied the bulker... All I had to do is get paid. The problem is most tree surgery set ups are small, unless you get into the big boys and then they'd not entertain you because they all ready have biomass contracts. Most small business's don't have a yard or if they do it's not suitable to have an artic on or a skip or hook loader/ roro. Then they don't have decent kit to load it either. Most tree surgeons don't understand that the quicker the waste is gone the quicker they get paid.... But most of them drag the job out to make it seem bigger than what it is. So that rules out supplying a skip to site. Better off looking at woodlots and seeing if thes a forester selling thinnings off cheap... But thes no such thing as cheap timber anymore, thanks to green energy and renewable shite. Can you not accept pallets and screen nails out of them? There kiln dried and also thes loads of skip company's desperate of that type of timber! Never be short and they'd pay to get rid of it, not the other way around. Woodwaste local pro tip costs £100 a ton to get rid of, also recycling sites can't get rid of timber quick enough sometimes so thes huge heaps of shredded Woodwaste, de nailed no contaminants in sat on yards as as soon as the supplier doesn't want it the recycling company is stuck with it!
  21. It won't happen, as Didcot gobbles all green waste, including sweepings, chunks of logs and woodchip and because they won't have to pay haulage they'll pay alot more for everything that you won't take. That's how it is there. It's absolutely silly....
  22. Laburnum, with the log below it being Scots pine or oak,
  23. Wrong bark for cedar, deffo oak
  24. Just get a decent book keeper, and yes you do get tax rebates if you do enough site work....
  25. Use aspen or moto mix, then you can't go wrong... I'm shite at ratios also
