Re: A few bargains

My wife is a big fam of Farm Foods from when she lived in Leeds.

Hadn't seen one around... just been on the store finder, nearest one about 60 miles away. That's a shame

Re: HAVE YOU GOT A FIREPLAN?

Those wire ladders - have a practice.

I used to do potholing and we had them for drops. They aren't easy - they seem to move away from the place you want to put your next foot.

Re: Prepping for future unemployment. and future work.

Couple of thoughts here... When I was an IFA I had a client who ran one of those little hot dog stalls. He had a decent pitch, on a pedestrianised high street in a town about 50 miles away. He only did this on Saturdays... he reckoned a sunny Saturday would earn him £1000. Appreciate, he had to stan...

Re: Financial investment

nearly right I suppose - I was an IFA until 3 years ago. My ex wife, a solicitor took all that I had 7 years ago, I decided aged 40 and with nothing, I would go for a different lifestyle. Me and my new wife bought some land, we now live on it off grid, I don't do advising any more, and I'm glad of i...

Re: What trees to plant

Amelanchier alnifolia is the one

Hawthorn - 'Big Golden Star' is the variety you want.

The thing is though - what do you want to do with the plants - make jam? Pick and eat? Security with benefits?

Re: Financial investment

@Jansman - if you still have those private pensions it may be worth getting them swapped over to new providers - in the 'old days' - say 1988 - 2000 pensions were pretty poor - expensive to run - technology has brought them on leaps and bounds.

Re: Easiest alcohol to make?

My folks live in New Zealand and dad makes his own spirits using one of these http://www.lovebrewing.co.uk/air-still/ It makes a plain alcohol, between 60% and 80%, to which you add flavouring (and water to dilute down to 40%). He's likes a rum & coke and reckons the rum is OK. I don't know if h...
