    Triton TPT125 Planer

    I've got the scheppach version of the same thing and it's fine for my use. I don't need to use one very much and it's fine for my requirements. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    John Lewis - simply the best

    It's fair because they agree a price but why should someone who is more aggressive with their negotiating get a better deal? You know the terms you accept them or you don't. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    John Lewis - simply the best

    I think most of those are fairly standard terms. Although the discount one is possibly unique to JLP, but seems to be fair? If you're a company the size of JLP you don't expect someone else to get a better deal on say TV's so it would be reasonable to expect the same discounts. That price gets...

    Private Limited Company

    Lots of companies need to take on people with specific skills for projects etc so a lot of us one man limited companies exist. It's no different from a business getting an electrician in to do some wiring, they're not going to employ an electrician themselves they buy that service in. The...

    Anyone actually claimed PPI?

    I, like many others, get PPI calls and emails and I've never done anything about it. I bank with the Halifax and I believe they were a band offender. Has anyone claimed and got any advice on the best way of doing so. Did you use a company or go straight to the provider? Sent from my iPhone...

    Time to replace the TV/AV systems

    Ultra HD requires a huge bandwidth and that simply isn't available so all ultra HD that is broadcast has the life compressed out of it. I'd be cautious about buying UHD at the moment as I'm not sure it will become mainstream just like 3D Tv was going to be 4 years ago. One option you might...

    Forum users dust collectors and shop vacs

    I have a Karcher wet and dry vac with a dust mite cyclone attached and a bin that all the dust drops into. That's all attached to my dust collection control centre. Basically I open the blast gate for the tool I want to use and away I go. I have the vac operated by a remote control. I do...

    502 Wood Glue

    I use titebond glues (as many in here do) they have nozzle which pushes a plastic stopper through the outlet when closing so your bottle doesn't get clogged. Seems to work well as long as you wipe away the excess. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sky tv

    I believe it's not and has to be new. I'd suggest you friend phones sky and asks to be put through to cancellations. He'll be asked why he wants to leave and if he explains I bet they'll offer to send an engineer foc. They are very good at customer retention. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Are there really people this uneducated?

    I find it really offensive to teachers that people would say that a non grammar school is a second rate school. I have a friend who is a teacher. She teaches maths. She prefers to teacher the lower set classes as she feels she makes mor rod an impact and a greater difference. She also moved from...

    Are there really people this uneducated?

    Just one point regarding the grammar school comments. I'm not sure I have a particularly strong view as to whether or not it's a good idea, however I don't think the by having a grammar school you end up with a two tier system comment is true. We need a reality check here. Some children are more...

    John Lewis - simply the best

    Now I don't fish, in fact I've only ever been once as a child but I wouldn't need to be paid to go. I think I finally got a grip on fishing. You just need to take the fish bit out and it sounds ideal. Pop along to a nice river bank on a nice day, pop up a little shelter, add a comfy chair / bed...

    Pick me a band saw

    I have the Axminster 250N and I love it. I upgraded it with Tuff saw blades and it works brilliantly. I bought it on a whim when it was on offer at around £200 a few years ago. I'd say it gets the most use out of all of my machines. I would actually quite like a much bigger machine but I...

    Don't you have to specify them from the options list when you buy a BMW? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Private Limited Company

    I own my own Ltd company. I work as an IT contractor. Companies will only "employ" me by employing my company. They can't employ me for 6 months. It's too much of a hassle and things like national insurance and pensions etc just don't work like that. As for tax, it's reasonably tax efficient but...

    Festoool Kapex or Bosch Axial Glide?

    There's a good video here: https://youtu.be/-tSuMrwrhkU Be aware that although he's comparing both machines they are very different in price in his comparisons to our prices. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Indicators

    I think indicators are ok, but some of the lights and daylight running lights are seriously bright and stop you from seeing indicators. Also I find that the emergency services lights are so bright that if they are pulled up and I need to pass that I'm completely blinded. Even some traffic lights...

    Are there really people this uneducated?

    I find some of the views expressed in this thread interesting. Lots of talk about old school learning tables etc. I get where those views are coming from but you're thinking in the 60's. Today we really don't need our children to know what 6x7 is. You may be thinking that's a ridiculous...

    John Lewis - simply the best

    My wife works for JLP and they are a brilliant company with a brilliant ethos. Essentially their ethos is look after the staff and task the staff with looking after the customer. All of the staff are partners in the business and therefore they all own a bit of it and they all get an annual...
