Mikey they should care becaause they have set themselves up as more than just a landowner, they quote the ethos of the area being historically left to the public for air and excercise, and the area counts as access land for walking these days so they cant fence it off either

CF yes i think people get that, its not the logging its the way its being done, I think they have just given the contract to a logging outfit that is just blitzing in, other areas locally have had logging done without so much destruction.

We are also seeing more deer locally as they are being forced out by a landowner that claims to be leaving the area for air and exercise for all

but I’ve wondered for a while what sort of talks have gone on over the mess that’s been made.

+1 I cant see the horse riders are too happy either, but as i’m no longer a friend i cant access the forum

T_I_M but i really dont want my money used to pay someone to destroy a trail that was really out of the way and not near anywhere walkers or horse riders use

I was a friend but havent renewed as i am appalled the way they have allowed the logging to be carried out.

they have trashed bridleways, caused huge damage in areas that they had closed trails in due to mtbs causing erosion!

maybe this is partly why they are short of support!

the logging has bene done mainly to fund the development of High house farm in Shere, I have no Idea where the friends money is used, But i do know they paid a local chap £350 to put a new trail out of use using heavy digging equipment, so they have the money for that!

OP Winterfold isn’t part of the Hurtwood any way AFAIK

My mates reckon these troy lee ones are the nuts, i may get some myself

Im my youth as a roadie i used to use stuff that you heated up and poured into the underside then it moulded to you quicker cant remember the product name?

It increases the risk attached to the lending the money.

True but i would never have been able to buy a house otherwise, 20 odd years later i’m still in one! shows they can be too cautious

I have exaggerated my wages on many an application, so long as you make the repayments cant see where the problem is as the house is valued by mortgage co anyway?

its not surprising people do lie considering the astronomical repayments in comparison to renting! yes you might have your ‘own’ home but you can rent very nice properties for the price you would pay for a mortgage!

Until you want to retire and have to find rent money every month!

Ok so this is how!

Typically you will pay an initial charge of 5% to 6% and an annual management charge of between 1% and 1.75%.

Not sure yet but between 5-10k I hadn’t considered unit trusts no, but sounds good, will look into it how do they make money without commission though?

Thanks

Cheers guys!

Which broker do people use to buy the shares too? Halifax appear to charge £11.50 is that a good rate?

Do you reckon they’ll let me paddle around Portland on my longboard and watch the sailing for free?

I cant see how they can stop you, although they are closing the footpaths on the cliffs!

Your fantasy is your own demon to deal with 🙂

not me neither

Anyone for a key ring?

Perhaps you could borrow one?

My creaking turned out to be a cracked rocker link and a cracked chainstay! must lay off the pies

Hmmm 5/10 no angry spelling, old subject, not enough exclamation marks

Proper LOL 😀

You’re allowed sharp power tools! 😯

Peanuts make me fart like a docker

Decking – really hate it

I’m a giver 😈

If that was my boss, I’d dig a trench through his front garden and install a cable, just for the hell of it…

😆

He is the MD and is not known for managerial skills!
Do you work in the same place as me?!

Don’t think we are unique in this somehow!

My response to women (it IS mostly women) who complain about men who don’t put the toilet seat down. I get so irrationally annoyed about the fact they are so irrationally bothered about it. It is no harder for women to put it down than it is for us men. We want it up most of the time. You want it down. See that thing at the back of the seat? It’s a hinge. The seat can be moved up and down at will and as required. Live with it and move onto something important in life.

The irony of this is not lost on me, especially since I do tend to put the seat and the cover down most of the time

Women should leave it up, men should leave it down, logically next user is probably different gender

Cheers that sounds lovely

Has she got a beard? my boss has, kinda spoils the mood

When petrol station goons stick the ‘8’ in upside down on the price signs.

Really? this actually annoys you…..

Another one – when I am washing up and a little bit of water splashes up into my face.

I get unreasonably angry at that.
