Brexit

[solarman216]

I know this is a 4 x 4 forum and if what I say causes offence then please mods delete it, but had a bit of an eye opener today when I went to my local steel supplier, and asked him why he had so much good steel in his skips and when he told me it was down to CE requirements I asked for details, so when he buys in stock in 7 Mtr lengths it has to be allocated a CE number and if he only needs say 6 Mtr from that item then that is allocated the CE number, the off cut, perfectly useful but now does not have a number so cannot be sold on, hence in the skip, if anybody wants to try and tell me that the EU does us any good I will say on your bike, the sooner we exit from that bunch of scammers the better but our leaders are totally out of control, for example the MP that proposes that no new builds in 2025 will not be allowed to have gas CH is in control of a company that is promoting hydrogen as the way forward, yea right scamming barstuard, going to make billions from his own crap legislation, rant over, Rick

This is one of the reasons we buy in pre cut lengths of box section and tube at work.
Have the means to cut our own but like you say the off cut cannot be used on other jobs if material certs are required.
Its just madness

[Jay666d]

In a world where we are trying to eliminate waste, this just seems like utter madness!

[elty001]

The amount of good steel we scrap is ridiculous.
Good news for me if i need some

[solarman216]

Point is the average UK person does not have any idea, Rick

Strange that no one has commented on the barstuard making legislation that will make him a billionaire, to the expense of Joe public, Rick

I shall refrain from saying too much here, except I'd like to know the provenance and quality of steel that I'm buying, or indeed of many things that I buy.
The EU has done far more good than bad, our Govt appears to be excelling at bad and selfishness over good.
I'm not sure what you local hydrogen promoting MP blocking gas CH has to do with the EU. That's a bent Member of (British) Parliament who is, erm, British...
The level of division and hatred that Brexit has enabled is embarrassing, the level of racism that Brexit and the likes of Farage have made acceptable is deplorable.
Democracy is something to behold and democracy includes accepting the will of others, even if it goes against your desire.
See, I told you I wouldn't go on....

Nuff said I think, knew I should not have started it but it just hit a nerve re the forced waste, closing it now, Rick
