    Christmas Boxes

    As a new customer of Amtec, after I looked round their equipment yard this summer, for the first time, they sent me off with all their details and a box of chocolates. Then a month or so later after delivery of a press we had purchased had been delivered a modest, but quality hamper arrived, a...

    Littering in the countryside

    I will never forget the time we were sitting in a McDonald’s, it was the one near Duxford. Our table had a view of the car park where there was a car facing the “restaurant” which contained two girls, we couldn’t believe our eyes when the drivers window opened and the debris from their meal came...

    Where’s our weather man gone?

    I always assumed that the BBC got their weather information from the met office, surely the the BBC can't afford a weather department with all the so called "super computers" which are needed. So may as well go straight to the met office site rather than let the BBC put thier spin on it..

    Metaldehyde staying

    “A few days before a hearing was due to take place in the High Court, the government conceded that its decision-making process was flawed. The decision was unlawful.” The government conceded that its decision-making process was flawed, how often are we going to hear this of Defra going forward?

    Why do people insist on having heads full of crap?

    To be fair the alternative to believing in God is believing that our beautiful world with all its intricacies resulted from an explosion of gas and that mankind came from an amebae crawling out of a swamp.

    travellers? and they wonder why people hate them

    Well this is a frightening post from you Robt.... you make it sound like if criminals are aggressive enough the police can't deal with it what sort of message is this to give out to the general public. If there are 20 to 30 of you and you are aggressive enough the law doesn't apply to you...

    Lord Sugars letter

    It could be argued that if we create more jobs then we are encouraging more immigration as we are told that we are one of the European countries with the least unemployment and that those coming from Eastern Europe are coming here to work.

    What next....

    As we get closer to the vote on Thursday I am becoming aware of people nailling their colours to the mast and declaring in or out. Which ever way the vote goes on Thursday the repercussions will then begin. If for instance I vote to stay in and the nation agrees then, I'm being told that I...

    Cameron

    One of the problems Cameron has is he has already stated that he thinks we will be fine if we leave. See the clip. So when he then describes the apocalypse we will experience if we leave, it is, to put mildly, unconvincing.

    BREXIT THE MOVIE FULL FILM

    I have watched this through a couple of times now, it's a little long but if you want to do research it takes time I guess. I have found it very helpful, I believe everybody should watch it and if we still choose to vote to stay in we have done so after hearing the full leave argument. Thanks...

    Interest rates

    Can't see interest rates rising in this country any time soon. As has been said, with our massive national debt, which is clocking up moment by moment, the interest we have to pay annually as a nation on this alone, even with low interest rate is approaching £50 billion. The government would...

    VAT on new buildings

    Wow.... That could work out costly. If planning to do some of the work yourself on a when I have time basis, it would work out cheaper to get a groundwork company in to do it in a day. Would this watching chappie be there 10 hours in a day? Would that be on just the planning permission part...

    Thank you so very much for your help just what I needed to know. Just out of interest has anybody had to do an archaeological dig to comply with planning regulations when constructing a new farm building.? If so, what did it consist of ?

    VAT on new buildings

    We are working on a budget to a erect a new general-purpose building and wonder if anybody could help me with one aspect of this. I know that there is no longer any AIA allowance on farm buildings as they are now classified as an asset and its assumed that they could be sold on as such. If...

    The most dangerous man in the world

    Following this thread with interest, I realise I don't know much about the Muslim demographics in Europe or even the whole world so having searched the web I came across this clip which I found very enlightening. It seemed to be factual as the figures from today can be checked. There was also...
