Router table with shaw guards or profiled tunnel to support the piece as it leaves the cutter and so that your fingers stay in place. You could in theory do it conventionally with a router but would need a way of holding the strip wood securely whilst keeping it fairly straight and flat. You...

I've recently relined a tank with the help of Ian Potter from Tank Care Products near Norwich. The ethanol in petrol these days causes water to accumulate, especially in tanks on bikes that are not used much. My tank had previously been coated with Petseal which had been degraded by the ethanol...

Electricity fairly constant through the year at approx £150 per month, biggest draw being electric showers. Other hot water and central heating oil fired approx £900 per annum at the current prices. Central heating on max 2 hours per day. All other heating from logs and solid fuel, approx £750...

I did think that, it seems a bit 'coals to Newcastle ' to send a pallet load of native timber up to Scotland, although I do appreciate it's far more common in the south...... It is however, an option......

I’ve just cut one down on the site I’m on. I’m saving this from near the base for next years Yule log. There’s loads more, it would need a fair while to dry out though…..

I will leave this to peer review if anyone can be arsed.....

Edited because someone was paying attention....:D(y)

Well spotted, could you now recalculate the percentage paid by Bobby and make it wildly different to the 1.75%. You have 3 minutes....

But the first sentence suggests that the bottom 20% spend more pro rata on high VAT rated items than the top 20%, which is quite simply a load of horse poo. The second sentence is bobbins.... I never suggested that any one pays 2.5% VAT on anything, for a start i don't think that there is a VAT...

Sorry, I’m totally confused as to even roughly what you trying to say…..

I really don't get what point you are trying to make. I took issue with an untrue statement. I tried to explain in what I thought were simple terms why it was untrue. If someone spends £50 on 20% VAT rated goods, that is what they spend on those goods. Nothing more is implied. I never said...

Your statement was untrue. No argument.

Twisted statistics: The government states that the bottom 20% spend 10% of their income after direct taxes are taken on VAT the top 20% of households 5% on VAT. Income, not expenditure......not all income is spent. I just purchased a light bulb which had 20% VAT, which you describe as a...

I understand that you are trying to say that taxes such as VAT disproportionately affect those on lower incomes. It's a somewhat fallacious argument. They are equally disadvantaged by having a low income in the first place......chicken and egg situation..... If VAT was lowered, abolished...

I couldn't care less what the 'gist' of what you were saying 'apparently' is. What you actually did say is untrue.

I didn't miss anything. You said "A higher proportion of the the poor's spending goes on VAT." That is quite simply not true. Twisting words again.

I apologise, you used the word spending........ Mea culpa.....

Oh, splitting hairs...... :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Ok, here goes....... You said expenditure, the statistics refer to disposable income, not the same thing at all, however you try to swing it. Lower incomes are likely to spend nearly all their income whether you call it blue, pink or spotty. Higher incomes may spend a very low percentage of...

That's not it. You stated expenditure. Disposable income, whatever the definition, is highly unlikely to equate to expenditure at higher income levels. It will be saved.
