Went to Elgin to pick up a fireplace surround and visited the lantern of the North, Elgin Cathedral.

I do and for a lot of people that are mentioned the government doesn't pay their wages but the NHS trust they work for, or the school that employs them, etc. Civil service is paid straight by the government but public sector workers are not. Yes they have a public service but count the people on...

So there are farmers who are employed by the government because they accept subsidies and other benefits? If you want to know why Sunak is making big things about something ask him

Agree with you but there were initials and a year in the concrete hearth hence my 80s comment.

Any crop harvested by yourself is better than crop not harvested due to waiting for a contractor. Check what you are paying for your contractor and if you can take that money and justify putting it towards a combine go for it, but don't forget about all the extras you need as you mention...

Ground works happening outside. My job is inside. Changing this 80s relic into this, now need to make it suitable again for a wood stove. 0
