Talking to a fella last week who'd watched them loading a container for Africa. Couldn't get door shut so one of them had the idea to take the front axle off the tractor obstructing the door. So instead of unbolting it they simply wheeled the gas up and chopped them clean through axle. Chucked them in and slammed the door!

So the message this sends out is that all you have to do is keep on promising not to do it again. Kind of makes a mockery of the whole concept of trading standards IMO.

Nothing to do with the tractor dealers but I am also surprised at how many directors of failed companies that are wound up leaving considerable unpaid debts seem to start up again as directors not very long afterwards. It doesn't leave a very good taste for those who are still owed money with seemingly no chance of it being repaid, but while they keep on getting away with it, it will keep happening. Are we so short of company directors and business's that people who have let others in for thousands have to be allowed to assume positions of responsibility again?

In my view if you have let people in for thousands once, you have done it once too often and should be barred from running a limited company again. Doesn't seem to work like that though.
