Does anyone know is the owner of leased ground (tenant has entitlements and paying back to landlord) allowed to appeal an overclaim. We were renting ground up until last year and we’re paying the BPS over to landowner. Last ye at there was an overclaim letter sent out after payment was made by Dept so money is owing. It’s a substantial amount of land too so it’s over the 3% allowable so it’s potentially liable to be trebled. Land owner wants to appeal it but we’re no longer leasing it and couldn’t be bothered tbh. Also the department are technically correct- it isn’t really eligible ground. We don’t want to get mixed up in it with the department and he has put his advisor in charge of it but it all has to go threw our Agfood account as the overclaim is against us technically. Is there anyway of transferring it all that business over to him given that we’re no longer leasing the ground and we ourselves have no interest in appealing it and would rather it weren’t appealed?

An overclaim would be your responsibilty, you sent in the claim and signed off that it was right. It's between you and the department

Always meant to get round to reading it.
Just get the angle grinder and cut a window on the side and stick a piece of perspex on it.

Excellent stuff Brian - be interesting to follow that... keep us informed...

Best of luck Brian. It would be great if you could keep a photo record of the steps that you take to convert it. Are you going to do the work yourself?

I hadn't driven a transit since my time with Alfa Laval, they are more refined surely since then..

Very similar van, I've been watching in on that thread with keen interest

Plan to keep a record ok.. Might do a thread like the one linked above..
It needs a few mechanical repairs first, I've gotten weak through injury so I don't do that stuff any more, local garage will do that work for me.. Starter & engine mount that i can see, it had cvrt last week and drives well enough so fingers crossed there wont be too much else
There are some rust spots that need attention, I'll do that myself. The conversion work I will do myself, it wont be anything too fancy.


The guy that owned it previous got stuck in a dead end with paperwork as he couldn't fulfill the criteria for commercial tax, I've been onto the tax office locally and it shouldn't be hard too remedy.

What do ye think of this horse****?



Seems like a septic tank or something overflowing. It's at the back of a house anyway. Fridges or some white goods type stuff dumped in the mix too, plus other crap. Report it? To who? Dunno the house owner only I hear he's a bit of a prick and wouldn't be a 100% law abiding citizen of the state.

We might be letting MCPA into the water but the majority of that algae bloom comes from town sewerage

Any of you have the heating or fire on this week? I've the stove on in the kitchen in the evenings ..... old north facing house... normally not cold this time of year, maybe i'm getting older.

Nights are quite cold still. Even daytime air temperatures are cool enough without the warmth of the sun.

It's still only April, I'd never depend on grass till 20 - 25th april, This'll turn around very quick if you've nitrogen out, We've no fire tonight so there's some sort of a turn tonight.

We haven’t had a night without the fire this year yet. This time last year it was well above 20 degrees every day. We actually baled hay for a man on 16th April last year!

The girlfriends brother bought one the same as it last summer and converted it too. Made a serious job out of it for handy enough money.

Was doing a bit of clearing earlier and my fingers are all thorns despite wearing gloves...

Now, the gloves I had on were only light...

I imagine a good heavy leather pair would do me?
So - anyone recommend a good heavy pair of gloves that could be used that would keep out briar thorns and the likes...

A pair of welding gauntlet, or otherwise look to Americian websites for a pair of horse or pig skin gloves.

White thorns are dangerous this time of year, the sap coming up in the thorns is poisonous, doesn't affect everyone but it does affect me, nasty little bumps on the skin from them and if they go in to the hand and break off i get a very bad reaction to them

Maybe you're right, plenty of both in our ditches, all I know is my hands flare up if I go at them this time of the year.

A local horse breeder and dairy farmer had an orphan foal and tried to get it to suck a cow. Lo and behold, the cow took up with the foal and the attached video is the result.
