That's probably next. Or going on timber prices it'll just be a grand for a 6 pack

Timber prices have gone through the roof, yet I often see used timber chucked in skips that could be reused. Probably better quality seasoned stuff then the wet sticky warped stuff they want an arm and a leg for.
Anyway to keep on topic I see the latest idea by the cycling lobby is to suggest that tradesmen should use cargo bikes as their primary mode of transport. That might be ok to deliver lunchtime sandwiches but seriously?

If you think that's bad you should see the amount of granite/marble worktops I have to smash up and dispose of

Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle

It doesn't happen enough, although the person I know who owns this company wouldn't be too pleased.

The idea of going to work on a cargo bike doesn't interest you then?

He wouldn't give a ****, it doesn't pay anyone to keep it.
Most of what I rip out is 10-15 years old, trends have changed a lot since then, nobody wants black granite now. I can't even give it away.

They don't do low enough gearing for me to move my tool kit

The extent of just how many people are involved in making life hell for others.

I know most people don't bother reading this thread, well not until you or your family are affected

Thanks.
I said it before, I'm not one of those anti cycling nutters , far from it but most of these Low Traffic Neighbourhoods schemes and underused cycle lanes designed by MAMIL's (middle aged men in Lycra) do more harm than good.

Time for a bump.

You think the government lies and are corrupt?
Our Labour run council ran an expensive consultation on our local LTN.
56% were against, 21% were for it, the rest were neutral.
The champagne socialists are going to ignore the consultation and are going to make the LTN permanent anyway.
While the rest of the borough is underfunded they are going to spend money on trees and benches in the LTN.
3 councillors that live in the LTN have now got what they want are now going to stand down in the May elections.
How is this allowed to happen?

Anyone in other areas affected? or are you still waiting for you turn.
