Some interesting replies, thanks, one important thing I have managed to establish is that most of the cheap 4g boosters don’t cover 800MHz (band 20) which is used frequently in the UK to cover rural areas and when I checked we are on band 20.

Was that something you bought or did they give it you because you complained?

We are on the edge of 4g coverage in our house typically our phones flicker between 3G and 4 G and we only get about 2mbps. If I go outside and walk a couple of hundred yards it’s solid 4G at 25-30 mbps so I was thinking a booster would help. Had a look in line and there’s everything from £15...

There’s a lot of demand for wood to chip these days I would think you could get paid to have the trees cleared.

Quitting the scheme and paying back the money in my case wouldn’t be an issue since I’ve had next to nothing but I’d never see the £££s I’ve lost to date plus this years lost production so I’ll have to hang in there and hopefully the money will come through before I go bankrupt! Frankly would...

I contacted them and they said they pay 75% of the claim they agree with so if they feel there is an issue with your claim your payment will be reduced and you receive 75% of the reduced figure. I asked them why they didn’t pay 100% if they were saying in effect money is only paid for the part...

FDM is the financial disapline mechanism, as I understand they withhold some of the BPS funds as a contingency and then when it is released we get these odd payments, I hope that’s what it is!

If it’s my 75% something’s gone very badly wrong as it would be less than 10% of the sum I was expecting! The only other thing I can think of would be FDM, has anyone received any of that recently ?

Those who have received 75% payments, who does it say it’s from? I’m asking because I’ve received something in my bank from : “ GBS RE RPA NO2 ACCOUNT” but it’s nowhere near 75% of my claim.

Hi, Our loadall just came up with this fault, had a look on JCB website it didn’t recognise the code, anyone know what it is?

Well I’ve got an email from the RPA today. They say I’ll get a 75% bridging payment in April if I haven’t received an”advanced payment” in March. I don’t know what an “advanced payment” is but I didn’t get one anyway so it’s the 75% for me at some point in the next 3 weeks if they keep their...

Everything’s straight forward apart from getting the money!

Bit of a long shot but I’m looking for a recommendation for a savings account for my pension fund. I have a SIPP that’s sold a property and is sitting on some cash that’s earning virtually nothing at RBS. I’m not planning on needing the money for at least the next 12 months. There’s various...

We've just had 1/4 inch of rain following drilling with maybe more to come should I still roll if it drys up? Is there any rule of thumb about it?

If only everything in life was as reliable as RPA breaking their payment promises!

I’ve checked on google and it’s more or less bang on. Bet the guys who sold that magic system to the government struggled to keep a straight face when they said to the civil servents it’s all tested and working just fine before they ran like hell with the money!!

OMG - just found that if you zoom in or out of your browser it changes the measurements!! That’s got to be a joke. It does say the measuring tool is indicative only but I would of expected it to be in the right ball park. I’ll try and find out at what percentage zoom it’s something like. Should...

I’ve just been on magic maps and found that the measuring tool appears to be well out. I’ve checked half a dozen fields and magic maps is measuring the area at about 20% less that it actually is. Has anyone else noticed the same or have I got some setting or other wrong?

Good luck with the NFU legal because I found them to be a complete joke. I was in a legal dispute which in my view (and that of anyone with a modicum of sense) I was in the right. The NFU panel solicitor ended up being a waste of space so I dealt with the case myself and it ended getting chucked...

I get the impression when I speak to them that a lot of RPA staff are just as fed up as we are with the whole thing - big difference of course is that it’s not hitting them in the pocket!
