Red Diesel concession to be removed

[longjohnsilver]

A close relative works for HMRC and he has heard that due to misuse/misreporting the split between heating and propulsion use that the concession is now being reviewed again and is likely to be withdrawn.
Not a good start to the new season /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Well I hope thats an early one too!

 

[whisper]

Well that's bleedin typical innit!! Just shows what a greedy bunch of a'holes there are about. Their selfishness spoils it all, for us, the hard working and honest majority.

Please continue to chase your close relative for further information, as and when possible.

I saw this on the news this morning. An HMRC spokes person said, 'we saw this mentioned on an internet forum, and are now seriously looking into it'. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

A Good thing to why should us raggies subsidise you MoBoers /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

 

[benjenbav]

Cos you luv us.

Because when your prop falls off and there is little wind, we will tow you back to your berth in the marina - as was the case in Feb-2008 to a raggie in Gib! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Axshully, you raggies are on to a good thing. At least at MYC, where I put our raggie bunch on to a local garage that sells red at about 75ppl for farmers. Coz they don't need to take on so much fuel, they can just turn up at said garage with two decent sized Jerries and the job's sorted. No split and no declaration.

[/ QUOTE ] Interesting. What kind of anchor would you consider best suited to this task? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

CQR with a 50 lb Fisherman as a kedge /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

 

[DAKA]

CQR on the East Coast /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Surely not ?

Danforth , but not in the South /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[sailorman]

Bruce ( Genuine ) on the East Coast unless there is pipeweed then fuckall works except the 50 Lb Fisherman

 

[jhr]

I was under the impression that a Rocna or Spade would be best, whatever the circumstances - but maybe someone will be along to put me right in a moment?

You know we are all too courteous to leave you there, in the middle of the big bad sea, all on your little lonesome, and would insist (anchor or no anchor) that you breathe in and enjoy our wholesome fumes while offering the hand of friendship (in this case, a tow rope!). /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ahem, it was 52p per litre last week.

I have been frequenting the establishment for over a year!

Brave raggie to drop the hook off Gib - Europa Point perhaps? Where even this boat was not big enough to avoid collision! Where stand-on vessel simply means to hop onto the deck! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
