Screens glorious screens .

[dalymount]

Im quite serious.based on past experience I know the insurance will try and wriggle out of settling at the slightest opportunity.I thought you would know that.any technicality ay all and they are off the hook.I wonder did F/ N consider that when they knocked these screens out for 50 sovs

There was an interesting episode of Lovejoy, I sort of remember, where he had to get £3k in a day, with a starter of say £20, by buying and selling, and he did it, a bit far fetched maybe, but it was good entertainment.

True story .I moved to Clondalkin and went into Tuttills in the Village and they had big glass fruit bowls for sale for 50p I asked for the manager and got a deal on them for 45p each then I picked up a box with a dozen in it fucking heavy I was never going to carry them all about 12 boxes so I moved two boxes at a time to the bus stop and got the bus to Ballyfermot unloaded then moved them two boxes at a time walked about 100 yards put the two boxes down then went back for two more until the pile was all forwarded by 100 yards .Then I start knocking doors selling them for a £ took me all day but I sold the lot .Made a bit of coin then If you are out around Clare Hall you will notice wodden wall placks with your house number on them I designed them use to go around all the Aluminium window fitters getting the off cuts from the window sills Teak,Oroko ,Mahogany anything more that 9 inches out of the sKip then cut them into shape and had a router and a drum sander to put a design on the edge .Sold about 50,000 of them throughout Dublin they are everywhere .I originally did them on a Bicycle then bought a car .I use to give local kids a job selling them .They would get orders I paid a£ for the first 5 you sold and £2 comission on anything over that .No problem selling 5 but the bigger commission meant your mammy would sell them for you down the bingo to her mates .I also bought a few 1000 fiber optic christmas trees that were meant for Super Value but didnt arrive in the country in time to fulfill the contract so I got them cheap again went on the knocker .Making money is easy holding on to it is the problem .I use to make decrotive steel gates but to much work .You drive out to measure up go collect the steel and decorations drive home make them up deliver them then drive home but your price dosent cover all the running around .

In order to remain compliant with SPSV internal vehicle dimensions, sufficient legroom should remain (650mm minimum) measured longitudinally and horizontally from the front face of the backrest at uncompressed squab height to the rear face of the seat or surface immediately in front of it.

If that means what I think it means, my Octavia would be borderline.  Just went out and measured.  With no screen, it's about 650-670mm depending on how you measure it.  As you can probably guess, I'm not very good at DIY 

[dalymount]

Its q hell of a lot less important what the NTA rules are ,then what the insurance rules are.but none of tou seem to place any importance on the fact that these scumbags would have a way out of settlng a claim because you made a modification to your car

[watty]

In another thread, someone posted they were told by their insurance company (or broker) that 'screens' were ok.  No detail.

I agree with you though.  I'd want something in writing from the NTA and insurance company that 'my' screen was ok before I'd put one in.

[john m]

I asked both the NTA and the insurance got conformation from both .I wonder did anybody else actually ask or do you all only post on the webulator ?

[watty]

I'm probably not gonna put in a screen unless the NTA tells me to so I don't really care.

My only concern is the NTA giving out instructions that may or may not be feasible.  E.g., the 2m 'social distancing' in a taxi is impossible.

[dalymount]

I just dont get why taxis were deemed an essential service.if rhey were to be deemed an essential service,then I think it should have been done in such a way that a select few were chosen to carry out ONLY emergency transportation where needed,and at full fare plus .
