I dont like too say this but if our armed forces had the man power too spare they could quite easily stop every single boat from reaching our international waters as they leave french ones
but for all the humanitarian reasons & lots more no single man or machine is able or allowed to physically stop a single boat
What a laughing stock we have become.
Yes, not that many years ago that you were roughly £1k per tonne for a grain trailer.
Nearer £1500.It's not many yrs ago they were £400/ton.
Are they not still £1000?
£400 was the days before hydraulic back doors & flotations

they just show them the way
how do you make our own youngsters work, a lot have no desire to do anything remotely like hard/dirty work.Alright I'll be the one, you can't send them away!
Not while we've got fruit to pick and streets to clean.
Illegal entrance into the country should come with a £500k fine but don't worry I'm sure we can find away for them too work off their debt...
personally, it would be work, or vastly reduced dole.
those that come here, prepared to work, quite happy with
those that live off benefits, just shouldn't be here
l suspect its a 'delicate' subject, but l pity the guv, everything it tries, gets shouted down, presumably they live in shanty towns around Calais etc. Then to say its inhumane to house them on a fully equipped barge, hot meals etc, something is very very wrong.

Lol which is why they've got the Rwanda thing all wrong it's not illegal immigrants they should be sending it is all those in care homes and not working currently. It would save us a fortune.

Can’t be far off £2000 now after some quotes I gotNearer £1500.
£400 was the days before hydraulic back doors & flotations
A grain trailer would set you back £30k for an average to today’s spec. How any trailer manufacturer could go bust at their over inflated prices. They’ve really took the pee with Covid. Yes steel and running gear has went up but not to the extreme they charge for them.It's not many yrs ago they were £400/ton.
Are they not still £1000?
Know of a haulier who was flat out taking trailers for a local company to England, he’s took one load this year just, and their books are empty for abroad too

Haha but wouldn't you prefer your finally days in a hot beautiful climate with carers at your beck and call all four less than a tenth of what it costs in the UK?
I think I like the idea of retiring somewhere warm or at least dry... Hell if it keeps raining I might go sooner than that
As far as all the bitch ass comments saying "oooo we're all too poor and everything is just too expensive"
Just for your information tractor sales were UP 5% last year....

Looks like farmer Keith and who ever else they quoted should go and collect their Royalties from farmers guide
Ktwo has entered into administration - Farmers Guide
Ktwo Sales Ltd, The Buckinghamshire manufacturer of spreaders and trailers, went into administration at the end of last month (March 2024).www.farmersguide.co.uk
Just shows how the jurno's scour this site for their info ...
Compactor trailers are in to £50k now
I will say this about KTwo … have by far the best paintwork of any trailer we’ve owned
Great pity if they never return

And so sad that two companies from the South East have gone ; Thame and Alresford for Warwick originally. Soon we'll be all sharing historic photos of things on Facebook and it won't be horse and cart photos but anyone actually making stuff
Crazy prices now.
