I fell into this business. I'd spent the best part of thirty years sat on roofs, nailing slates. My hobby was turning and being worried about dust, I developed and got to market a sanding system that captures the dust from faceplate turning before it gets in the air. From that, it led on to...

...and let's not forget the £996 a year on top of that for the privilege, when they pass the door anyway. It used to be that the goods were collected at the same time as my post was delivered, for free, but that seems to have gone by the wayside. My point is that I'm being priced out of the...

Thank you! Just over the border - turn left at Lanson. (Launceston.)

It's not down to what I think. It's the rate of inflation within Royal Mail. Given that in 2012 when I started, the price for a 100g large letter was 69 pence and they were presumably making a profit on that, I find it hard to see how they justify an increase of very nearly 107% in that time -...

I think I may have to give up running a business. The price of a large letter has today risen from £1.15 to £1.55 - an increase of more than 30%. When I started, 11 years ago, the price was 69 pence. I realise that things are getting more expensive, but surely this is taking the proverbial...

No idea.

The bark is completely wrong and the grain nowhere fine enough, also the wrong colour.

Pretty sure that's not Box...

You've not met my dogs then...

And how long ago was that? Things change Deema and I can tell you now, given the choice between renting and buying, every farmer's son or daughter I know, would rather own. The vast majority of land in this country is now owned by business men who wouldn't know a cow's @sre from it's udder and...

Banging my head against a brick wall here, aren't I? That is not what it means and I'm sure most people can grasp that. You're obviously a lost cause, so I shall think no more about it and away for my bath. I bid you goodnight and a greener day tomorrow.

You're reading what you want it to say, not what it actually says: Land LD302 The holder of a land title (steward), will have responsibilities for stewarding land for the “common good” (PB451, MG201) which will be reasonable and clear. Advice and financial help will be available (see LD502 and...

Just because condoms are free, doesn't mean you'd be compelled to use them. Nowhere is it said that collective farming would be mandated. Horses (for instance) are vegetarian and only have one stomach, as do most vegetarian animals - I think you're confusing being vegetarian with being a...

Thank you for making my case so well for me!

Thanks again Adam! Having looked a bit further, it would seem the best return for me would be to saw it into pen blanks! Seems an awful shame, so I may do that with some of the small bits but the bigger bits will get sold as they are and hopefully get used in bigger sections too.

I take it that the bit about land you're referring to is this: – "People may have rights over the use of land but this should not give unconditional ownership or control of it." Unconditional sounds fair - if you bu66er it up wilfully, then it should be taken from you. On population: "The...

Thank you. I'll try to get my head wrapped round it all.

Well to be honest, there's not a lot there that doesn't make sense. We've spent the last god knows how many centuries perfecting the art of sh1tt1ing on our own doorstep, to the point where we've perfected the technique and I repeat, if we carry on down this road we are not going to get very...

Hi Niall, I'd not even thought about its use for musical instruments. Strikes me that if it was sawn, there'd be quite a lot of wastage. I think it would probably be best for any potential buyer to collect in any case - postage on any decent quantity would be quite a bit and it's the sort of...

Thanks Adam - would that cubic inch price stay constant then? I'd assumed the larger the diameter, the higher the price.
