Sandstone cleaning

I think I may pass this to HMRC - I am sure they will be very interested in you falsely advertising as a Ltd company - they may suspect that you have been pocketing VAT - naughty, naughty , naughty.

Are you threatening me with the taxman?

I wouldn't pass anyone's details to HMRC because I'm not that sort of person!

That is not sandstone...you really don't have a clue do you?

« **Reply #24 on:** September 10, 2016, 11:04:28 am »

I'm no expert be could that be Portland or Bath stone instead?
Either way it seems unusual to see the columns on brick plinths so I'm guessing they are not solid at all but fake with a steel frame inside. I'm also guessing same as the canopy just clad in a stone facade.

Reconstituted stone "wrapped" around a steel (? ) substructure. You can see the cast panel joints in a half moon shape. It is also a relatively modern building , plastic windows , straight brickwork, pillar supports in modern brick work . Location etc.... Loads of "clues" to the educated .
The cost of Sandstone would outweigh the cost of the build.

What are the rules on advertising?
Misleading advertisements are covered by the unfair trading regulations (see 1). Your local trading standards service can take action against you if you publish misleading advertisements (see 7).

Customers may also have a claim against you, if they make a purchase based on misleading advertising (see

.

Misleading advertisements can also be investigated by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), which is responsible for ensuring that advertisements conform to the relevant advertising code of practice. (There are separate, but similar, codes for broadcast and non-broadcast advertising.) The ASA may require you to withdraw the advertisement and to undertake not to use similar misleading advertisements in future. Repeated breaches of the code can lead to court action and a fine.

Are you the same Rob who had a meltdown about 2 years ago when you thought Chris had figured out you were being chased by HMRC for tax you hadn't paid?

I think I was more than honest about my situation - which if you remember was brought on by a seizure - no meltdown , the effects still being felt now.

I'm not really interested in your personal circumstances. I'm just really a bit shocked at your lack of introspection to comment on anothers tax affairs with apparently no evidence whatsoever, when you've admitttedly had more than your own fair share of 'contact' with HMRC.

Anyhow back again to the topic how do you chaps find the best way to clean reconsrtucted stone without damaging arris's etc?

« **Reply #40 on:** September 11, 2016, 01:23:23 pm »

In a similar vein - you have no idea about my 'contact' with HMRC. It is safe to say it is none of your business.

There has been 'suggestion' on this thread but as you will have noted and if you have ever followed mine & Christopher's history there is nothing out of the ordinary in anything that has been said here and he is as capable as me of holding his own.

My personal circumstances have everything to do with my 'contact' with HMRC so the two cannot be separated but you wouldn't know that.

My comments were about his deceitful advertising methods.

He is not a Limited company, as I am and believe you are too and in his own words 'lied for advertising purposes'

I'm not sure how struggling through a personal problem and falling behind on VAT payments is in the same boat as lying.

I am sure Christopher took the posts in his stride and is not wounded by them. He hasn't changed his advertising so is not too bothered by it.

Personally I think the behaviour brings this forum down, the bitterness is distasteful and the mods should sort it out. You are using topics people are actually interested in and destroying them like a primary school child. You really don't look good to an outside observer, but I guess you don't understand that as you don't seem that capable socially speaking. I know there's two sides but he can pull it off without looking bitter and twisted.

Tbf Davids, Rob and Chris have both always had banter between them, Chris gives as good as he gets! Ask anyone, even Kev Martin! I've spoke with both of them many times and respect their knowledge and what they do in this industry, they just have a long term lovers tiff!!
The reason many many larger companies have left the forum is because it's full of idiots wanting knowledge without doing any work or research for themselves, not because people have a bit of 'banter'! Hence why their are other FB and Whatsapp groups who even Rob and Chris are part of discussing the industry seriously!

"idiots wanting knowledge without doing any work or research for themselves,"

Hmmm...I thought that what a forum was for asking questions and hopefuly getting good advice.

Are you saying we are all idiots if so go do one
