:rotfl: Sad to admit I have :rotfl:
13 August 2005 is the next staging post apparently 🙁 Overall the way I read it though is that the cost to ‘dispose’ of this ‘enviromental waste’ and the legislation the EU will implement, is minimal in relation to manufacturing profits.
Therefore it will have little impact on the hopes we have in manufacturing price rises taking place 🙁 In fact IMHO, as they get wiser to the legislation being placed upon them, they will produce even cheaper junk 😥

Its good you spotted that, in fact I would go further if you like in “beating my own drum”……….I’m an honest up front guy, with a conscience therefore NOT the ideal business acumen. 🙁
I am up-front, nothing to hide, tell it like it is in the hope of just earning a simple living from my self acquired ‘I can fix it’ ability.
I don’t need to be an unpaid “self-appointed” ‘stealth tax’ collector as well :lesson:

Michael,
Your machines problem is indeed the motor, usually the motor brushes. A simple and relatively inexpensive job for an expert to undertake for you. 😉
Can I advise you therefore check our “Directories” listing for an approved repairer. Just type in your Postcode 🙂

Oh dear 🙁
Well I was hoping to keep the facts of that situation quiet, but as you brought it up and for the benefit others that missed that revelation, read on: –

Re: How To Spot The Engineer
Door Boots fill the passenger footwell of my van. A short while back had to get the car serviced which meant following the wife in my van to the garage.
My wife was somewhat dismayed to find the only way she could fit in the van for the return journey, was with her legs up on the dashboard!!
When I commented..”Reminds me of our courting days Love!” ……..
……..She was less recollective judging by her reply :rotl:

Re: 2005 New Year Resolution
Mark,
Very interesting comments you have made and furthermore I guarantee your thoughts are exchoed by many who have read this thread. If I may just answer what I believe are the salient points here:-
eastlmark wrote:you do of course realise that you will be paying 17.5{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} more on everything youy buy
Sure, in fact it will cost me just under £200 a month more on those outgoings I would normally reclaim. I will easily recoup that loss through extra business otherwise lost on a daily basis because I charge VAT!
eastlmark wrote:who dont take a non vat reg’d bussiness seriously + you will now be even more under the scrutiny of the vat man
Who needs wp’s?…not me, I’ve got all the accounts set up and business associates that I need thanks 🙂 Consumers certainly don’t want to pay VAT and as for the VATman’s scrutiny, my business is an open book should any official from Customs & Excise wish to pop round for a cup of tea and a chat!
eastlmark wrote: and….. I thought we were all about pushing up our charges to a realistic rate rather than cutting them?
Now this is a sad fact you will eventually have to accept. In an ideal world YES I would love our rates to be acceptably higher than they are at present. But I am a businessman with my ear firmly on the ground, I read far more of UKW’s pages than I write also. The signs do not indicate an upsurge in our trade, quite the contrary and I merely wish to compete within its decline and not price myself out of business 🙁
eastlmark wrote:I personaly read adverts in yellow pages that state ‘NO VAT TO PAY’ and wonder why that is.
You may wonder all you like? You may even think “cowboy!”? But I am pretty sure potential new customers on seeing my new advert heading will jump at the chance of a 17.5{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} saving and a greater likelyhood their machine is not “Beyond Economical Repair” (BER) :tup:

Meeting number 4 will be different to the last 3 at least if I have anything to do with it that is. To justify MY request that the Saturday meeting be restricted to ‘Repairers Only’ do come!
