    2022 Isuzu D Max - towing

    F150s are good truck. Pity can’t get RHD 3500s over here. Had a Chevy Silverado in Canada and went over the Rockies pulling in excess of 16000 Lbs, so about 7.5 ton metric and it didn’t even know it was on the back. Brilliant for hauling stock around. Shame our weight restrictions are so low.

    Claas combine quotes

    And all prime ministers after her have done nothing to right her wrongs. Had a similar discussion with a bloke the other day who moaned about the council house sale, guess what, he bought his and took the money and run.

    Wages for employee

    Agreed, I work as a management Accountant and a construction company is part of the group company. Trouble being we have many subbies that talk to their “accountants” about recent changes to VAT treatment (Domestic Reverse Charge) and probably half the supposed Accountants are giving the wrong...

    Wages for employee

    If you go self employed you won’t be able to just work at the same place. HMRC will come down on both you and the boss. You’ll end up back on the books if that’s your only employer. Also he’ll be able to tell you he doesn’t need you in quiet times, so no pay. Things to take into account when...

    Wages for employee

    If the house was free you’d probably have to pay tax as a taxable benefit.

    House to rent Gloucester/Ledbury/Tewkesbury area

    Long shot, but any farm cottages out there for rent in the above, ish area. It’s for my son and his partner. She a teacher and he‘s an Ag mechanic with local Dealer. (possibly cheap mechanical skills available) They got flooded out pre Christmas and it’s been drama ever since so possibly looking...

    New toy day

    Shouldn’t it really ask what gender neutral transmission did you go for, so not to offend the PC brigade?

    New Land Rover Defender?

    98 Hilux I had the mis fortune to use was the biggest load of crap ever. Gutless and rubbish off-road

    New Land Rover Defender?

    I must confess to being a Landy fan. I don’t fully understand why the Defender hasn’t evolved to meet whatever regulations are out there, even if pathetic. I guess the Chelsea tractor crew have killed the utility vehicle market and I guess the thousands of vehicles sold to the MOD didn’t make...

    Nissan qashqai

    We bought one recently. It’s a 1.5 Diesel, loaded with all the gizmos. Ours is auto which is great in traffic. The only gripe I’d have is the lag from a standing start that can catch you out at busy roundabouts etc. We did prefer the Diesel Auto over the Petrol but we Test drove the manual...

    9" Angle grinder recommendations

    Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch (blue casing not green as green is diy grade), Hitachi, are all very good. Saying that I bought a weird German named one many years ago instead of a Makita, it cost well under half the Makita and went on for years until I dropped it off some scaffolding that was about...

    Tender and business plan

    Thank you. It is very daunting but I guess nothing that's worth while comes easily. With regard to cash flow I'll assume that's just based on year one of trading as forecasting beyond that could be more of a flip of a coin with the current economic turmoil. With gross margin should you base...

    Tender and business plan

    Hi Chaffcutter, this is for real. This will be the first full on attempt as looked at trying once before and spoke to the letting agent before and got totally dismissed by them and told it was pointless trying, so speaking to the current agent is something I'm very wary of. This is a new thing...
