    Machinery prices and the law.

    Which I always thought must leave them open to some sort of fraud allegation with the finance company.

    Farm cottage tenant.

    I'd be grateful you have a tenant that cares enough about the garden to get in touch. Suggest a local pest controller or some sonic garden device from the garden centre. It's the ignorance on septic tanks that never ceases to amaze. me "your tank is blocked with wiped" Tenant "we don't...

    Bogballe dealership near Inverness.

    This made me smile, but surely if you are shipping them around the world the transport cost from any UK dealership doesn't really matter. Also curious, Do you load the trailer on a container direct from inverness and how long will it take.

    Rappa hurdles

    There are few things more dispiriting than rounding up sheep, coercing them into a pen for them just to jump out. It's not good for your marriage. I had to fit wooden post and rails on top of the curve which is not ideal.

    Charging ploughing per hour

    If my maths is correct 3acre/hr with a 5fur plough means you plough at 16 inch and sit at 6km/hr never stopping to turn let alone change metal.

    Behaviour of the Public and Dominic Cummings

    Is it not a clear example of why rushed legislation which is not debated is a bad idea. What he did was arguably quite sensible, rely on family members rather than the over streched NHS or worse potentially leave a 4year old child to fend. As with our reliance on care homes we as a nation...

    Business loans, 100% government backed,

    I have seemingly been accepted but still waiting for money to appear. A few times I thought I had completed it only to find another email in a different folder. One had type the signature, the next I managed to sign using a touch screen phone. I am sure you will get there and there really is...

    Hmrc, grant scheme, notification, letter?

    Is that not what they are doing. I think the economic theory is called helicopter cash. I agree with you why not just give it to everyone, but guess being so blatant would be politically unacceptable.

    Hmrc, grant scheme, notification, letter?

    I don't think the government is overly worried about who gets the money, so long as it gets out into the economy. Since it's taxable anyone who gets it but there business is still performing will pay half of it back in tax (depending on tax rates). Undoubtedly there will be cases of people...

    Business loans, 100% government backed,

    Definately Rbs bounce back. I am certainly within the limit, so shouldn't be anything to worry about. Would I be correct in saying the interest relief in Bps loan scheme we have in Scotland is in this category.

    Business loans, 100% government backed,

    The rbs form asks the amount "under this state aid scheme" . Not sure what goes in that box (bps, and bps loan scheme spring to mind) but know the total balance is less than the £88900 limit.

    Business loans, 100% government backed,

    I have a flexible overdraft facility and initial plan was just to reduce the amount borrowed on that. If (or rather when?) that is comfortably in the black most loans allow you to make an overpayment, or by that time might need to invest. If you have it you have flexibility. I should...
