Usual supplier has let me down and I'm after a few bits burning out. Is there someone who has got one and some 12-15mm plate handy? I've got the .DXF files ready. It's a small job this time which is probably why I've been messed about, but I won't be going back

You can use a rotary broach in a lathe to do that shape over a short ish distance, as per this job. There should be someone with a lathe that can help, if not then PM me for a price. I have a pull type broach in the shed that's set up for another job. I could price for using that but it'll...

No, no invoices. You could do the work yourself and still claim if it meets the specs. Should be 6-8 weeks, but with Christmas I think they forgot and it was around 12. They soon sorted it after I chased it though

You just put which field youve done and how many meters, it doesn't have to be all of it in one go. Tick the box to say if it's the last claim or not, then send it in. You then have to send your pictures to an email address, with your claim number (which will be generated online when you start...

I'd definitely put it in an ISA, I have the same with our mortgage. Fixed at 2% for 10 years, so I'm putting the extra I have into the best ISA I can find at the time, getting 4.5% tax free. You make interest on someone else's money, the same way the fat cats do... Just nice it's me for a change 😃

Can you start from fresh or is this to upgrade existing?

How did you go about applying? What did you need in place before you let them know? Were after putting up a 90'x40'x16' for a muck store and loafing yard, ideally this year as it's a bl**dy mess here at the moment

Chased ours a couple of weeks back, got fence payments a week later and the letter for the revenue claim came in today. Shouldn't have to but it certainly looks like chasing it helps

Pure bred belty mum with limmy steer at foot. Lovely pair. We bought a few of these a while back with the idea of moving to out wintering, we have found that our ground just can't hold cattle up this year. This is the last one to calve and is the last one we have left to go. Only for sale as...

Been waiting 3 months for a fencing claim here, have chased it and am waiting on a response

£100k with no claw back clause, then when you get a lower bid, put the claw back on it. They'll think twice and pay the higher just in case they can get full planning. A converted stable soon makes it worth a damn site more

How about: 1. Cs and SFI payment on a date set at the start of the agreement with penalties for late payments 2. Imported goods only from countries with equal or higher food standards than our own Pretty sure I could make a go of this 60Ac then!

I've completely missed that, thanks. However the prospect of £300/AC is interesting... Would certainly change the way we look at things here

Sorry for my naivety, but how so?
