What is the point of the grant if you would just buy it anyway?

Yes. Whats the point of buying something you don't need just to get a grant?

The point of the grant is so I can have a new discovery where as I can only afford 2nd hand

I am sure all the customers of McDonalds especially the lower income bracket ones will be flocking to help you with you basic needs.

Bring the decision forward and make it easier. Just because I say I would buy it anyway it may not be for a year or two!

I should hope so as @Chips put a very strong argument forwards as to why he should get his new motor.

When will we know if we have been successful? Does anybody know...

 

[dogglercowman1]

Been told by linkline that it will before the end of april

The new disco is not for my basic needs but to put me in the top 25% , my basic needs are for towels to mop up the water ingress to the footwell on my current disco , I think it would be easier to discover the source of the Nile than the source of this !

I was told today Kite are administering the scheme for a 6 figure sum.

Does it really take that much admin?

If that’s right it’s endless

Plus they will be getting a big payment for running the resilience 500 meeting.

But at least its not as bad as when some of the early RDPE grant schemes were being run by local enterprise organisations (eg Yorkshire Forward) I was told that 2/3 of the budget went on administration

 

[Fergieman]

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story!

Was it the truth you were told or a good story? If it is true at least McDonalds will be paying for it, but I agree it a rediculous amount of money for administration.

So the paymemt could be for both jobs?[/QUOTE]

I thought it sounded alot. So possibly a few jobs or the old Chinese whispers.

Can I ask why when you suspect it’s a case of chinese whispers do you carry on to quote that figure. Is it a case of trying to sensationalise something, regardless of whether it’s true or not.
No never, @Sid wouldn’t do that in his quest to spout his anti Arla talk.

What figure? I could give you the figure i heard and that would probably make your eyes water so i gave a ball park figure.
The Arla rep who was in on the conversation neither confirmed or denied it so maybe it was even higher?
So i came onto here to try and find out the truth from those that are spoon fed the truth from above...

"Spoon fed the truth from above"?

Anybody who knows that figure you are after will certainly not bother trying to correct you on here and you know that, but you are not bothered anyways as it would spoil a good story for you in your anti Arla quest. Don’t worry you are well known for spouting your rubbish about Arla so why change and it just proves how little you actually know what’s going on but want to try and look all knowledgeable, failed again.

Do we know how the successful applicants will be informed? Posted up on the members page with us all knowing who got what?

They said by the end of the month and i believe by email, so i would guess it will be last minute as usual.
