  1. Apparently the pig has copme straight from the army to one person before being sold so all the markings are (?) original and not been touched, which makes another mystery.

     

    Thanks anyway

     

    anymore :???

  2. All interesting stuff. The arguments presented simply illustrate how difficult it must be for the authorities to interpret what should, and should not be, permitted. Would you want that job? :sweat:

     

    On HGV Licences - the law is changing this year (coutessey of a European Directive!):

     

    Anyone obtaining a C1, C1+E, C or C+E licence after 10th Seprember 2009 will also have to obtain a CPC (certificate of professional competence) as part of their HGV licence acquistion training.

     

    The idea is that HGV drivers using their licence professionally will need to maintain this qualification by undertaking a specified amount of continuous training (5 full days or 35 hours in every 5 year period - first period 10.09.09 to 10.09.14).

     

    Note that this qualification only needs to be maintained by drivers driving professionally.

     

    So if you drive a HGV for private use - social domestic and pleasure - you will be exempt from the CPC requirement.

     

    But it looks like you will not be able to obtain the HGV licence without getting the CPC.

     

    Existing professional drivers don't panic - grandfather rights (only for the first 5 year period to Sept. 2014) apply for anyone holding a HGV before 10th September, and there are plenty of exemptions for circumstances other then the usual hire and reward type of haulage.

     

    So - if you are thinking of getting an HGV and might want to use it at any stage professionally, you may want to get it before September to avoid further expense of the CPC (at least for 5 years) :coffee:

     

    E&OE :)

     

    All these laws...................no wonder it makes people drive illegally (or maybe with exemptions) :???
