Didn't mean to come across arsey there jurek , it must be the way us northerners come across , have just finished a job in Cheltenham , an old folks home on pilley lane , it's an totally stunning part of the country and the friendliest place I've worked u lucky fella

That's wot I was thinking currier,also jurek yes wacks prices arnt cheap in there mag but they're like all merchants if you walk in off the street they'll have your eyes out but if you open an account and they know your in the trade you'll get far better terms , I find them hard to beat for hook...

That's why it confused me as I use the same acc as the main builders of some nursing homes I've been working on and they must be vat applicable so I wrongly assumed this was across the board, I will indeed educate myself in the joys of vat now, that reminds me,Essex Andy is it possible to get...

Obviously I will need to look deeper into this area now ,as I thought it would be a simple yes or no question, I know it's not my accountants job to decide when I should charge vat Andy I was just getting at I thought it would have been picked up by now not just by my acc but from the various...

Sorry owls that was for malc

True, but I didn't choose to be vat registered so that's why I pay an accountant as this has never been an intrest of mine , have you seen the size of the"understanding vat guide" it's bigger than the rules of golf , so I was just wondering if it was my accountant at fault as I would expect them...

Priced a job to skim a couple of new build houses for a builder last week and he is adamant that I shouldn't charge him vat on a new build, this is news to me as I've always charged no matter what, I don't think he's trying to have me over as he's a genuine bloke but this is a strange one , I...

My doc refused me a cortisone , he stated they used to give them out willy nilly but have stopped as this would kid u into thinking everything is fine I.e masking the real damage and it would make matters worse in the long run ,makes sense when u think about it

Thanks for advice jfe ,yes I did run the mesh right up to the beads edges and gave it another tight coat of lac , so everything's looking good to go ,does the primer need to be bone dry or tacky when applying top coat ? Ta
