You didn't. I'll bet you cannot guess who said that they needed to be

""
I bought one [induction hob], then discovered the pans were
non-magnetic so it was useless
without new pans.
I bought a £1.99 wok from asda and that worked really well..
until I tried full power and it got so hot in a couple of seconds
the oil caught fire.

I decided I wanted gas, its just better than electric for hobs.

That is a quote from Denise.

Denise cannot even remember the lies he tells.



Funny that.. nowhere in there does it say they have to be magnetic
only that they don't work because they are non-magnetic.
You should realise that there are different forms of magnetism.
You should also know that induction furnaces work with non ferrous
materials too so iron isn't actually a requirement for induction
heating either.



It certainly is funny. Normal people are ****ing themselves laughing at
you.


Why, because you call me a liar and then you quote what I said to prove it
was you that got it wrong?

You seem to have fundamental lack of understanding of how a commercial

at the "price you paid", you are losing money on every single one.


I don't see why that should be the case. Where it is customary to charge
customers on a time and materials basis, it's perfectly OK to charge for
materials "at cost" (without markup), but instead to make sure you count
the time involved in procuring said materials.

That is not how it is done. The markup also acts as a guarantee.

A good example would be say new double glazing. A fitter charges a mark up
on the units he fits. If six months later one of the units fails then he
will then come back and change the unit for free. The manufacturer supplies
the new unit at their cost but the fitter gives his time up without charging
the customer again. Now if the customer had only payed the fitter the price
he paid and a unit fails then the customer would have to pay the fitter for
his time to replace failed unit.

And I wonder how many 'small traders' charge VAT when they aren't even

most single females over a certain age will believe anything - my
neighbour being a case in point,
so that's another 17.5% profit on top of the already overinflated
price. I used to be a freelance programmer and was
VAT registered. No agency would pay ANY vat to me until they had seen
and confirmed my VAT status. Customers
should make the same stance to Joe Bloggs in his white van.

Small traders especially need to mark up parts. All business's do.


RUBBISH. markups should be banned by law along with the whole concept
of trade and retail prices. Why for example should Travis Perkins
charge some customers more than others just because some are
'traders'.

The price you charge the customer should be the price you paid.

My one and only foray into this rather boring thread - so boring I can't
even take the **** out of TMH because for a change, he is somewhere near
right o many things that he has written!

John, it's called the *FREE* market and customers have the option to accept
or reject the contract - or even look elsewhere.

As a matter of interest, have you ever haggled for a discount off any goods
or services that you wished to buy - or even "paid by cash" to avoid paying
VAT on something? If you have, then you are a hypocrite and if you say you
haven't, then you are telling 'porkies'.

No its not. A VAT registered business will claim back VAT on all
purchases. It will charge VAT on all sales. It will pay HMRC the
difference. Hence the tax raised on the Value Added by the business.


Its OK I have already accepted that i was wrong.
I just wont say yes or no to geof as it is winding him up so much its funny.
He even gets wound up because I miss bits off his name which I do because he
appears to like to change mine.
It appears that the original VAT system was changed and I didn't notice but
so what? I don't run a business.

Its not the first time, however geof can't read so he needs me to say yes or

You will notice a lot of posts after this one where he still hasn't realised

Later on he claims to have a physics degree which I find hard to believe

I have haggled over prices lots of times, I have even paid cash.
I expect a receipt, if the trader doesn't put it through his books he risks
getting caught and I will not lie to protect him. If the VAT man asks for
the receipt he will get a copy.

Be careful - you'll use all your redundancy up at once


Already have.



The only type you can be sure does work is cast iron, others either
have to say or you have to try.
Don't bother trying aluminium ones as they don't work.
Anything with a base welded on may or may not work.



Aha - been doing some emergency reading up, have you?


Why would I need to? There is nothing difficult to understand about
induction hobs.
Just because you don't understand things doesn't mean others don't.


Here are the instructions that you failed to understand for the Lidl
induction hob that you bought.

http://www.kompernass.com/pages/_pdf...094a7cfc43.pdf


Now look at page 2 of the manual. It says

.. This appliance is not intended for use by individuals (including children)
with restricted physical, physiological or intellectual abilities or
deficiences in experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a
person responsible for their safety or receive from this person instruction
in how the appliance is to be used.

And from page 3

Use only cookware that is suitable for induction cookers:
.. Suitable are pots and pans with a base made of steel or cast iron. These
are recognisable either
through the markings on the pan or if a magnet clings to the base of the
pan.
.. Unsuitable are all types of cookware made of metals to which a magnet does
not cling, for
example aluminium, copper and stainless steel, as well as those made of
porcelain, glass, ceramics and plastics.

So who ****ed up then? Come on, admit it. It was you.

They had a race on top gear a while back (at another track) Honda vs Honda

IIRC the bike won by a slight margin, ICBW


I thought that was the one where the car won? The bike pulled away on
the straight bits, but the car got past it on the twisty stuff.

ISTR watching Sabine in the M5 on the ring, was generally taking most
of the bike riders, but a few were coming past.

According to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%BCrburgring_lap_times

None of the bikes have got below 7 mins.

The whole concept of VAT is that its the end user that pays.
It is illegal for a company to buy something, use it and then claim the

Not a hope, denise

As you know, I am used to positive driving

You're grasping at straws now, as you know you would have no chance

C'mon, then if you're up for it

If you can actually find your way to the Nurbergring and not get lost

Of course, you'll find some excuse, some reason to wheedle out
because you are a coward

well brave behind the anonymity of your computer, a **** scared

and don't forget, it was you who put up the challenge

Lets set a date now, some time next summer would do fine

notice but so what? I don't run a business.


Ha ha ha ha ha ha! "the original VAT system was changed and I didn't
notice".

You prize idiot. The principls of VAT have never changed. It has never been
fraud to claim VAT back on stuff that is not passed on to a third party.

The only exception to that is if its an expensive item & the

And I wonder how many 'small traders' charge VAT when they aren't
even registered for it ?.

Only the ones committing fraud.
Incidentally claiming VAT back on stuff that is not passed on to a
third party is also fraud.

No its not. A VAT registered business will claim back VAT on all
purchases. It will charge VAT on all sales. It will pay HMRC the
difference. Hence the tax raised on the Value Added by the business.


Its OK I have already accepted that i was wrong.
I just wont say yes or no to geof as it is winding him up so much
its funny. He even gets wound up because I miss bits off his name
which I do because he appears to like to change mine.

No it hasn't

You couldn't


He could Geoff.

He could start a driving school.

Or become a VAT consultant

Or become a grass - oh he already is

Of course its avoiding it,


Not in the evasive sense that you are implying


I never implied anything, if you want to change avoided to evaded
than its you that is implying something.
I expect its because you have been trying to evade it and think
someone thinks you have making you read stuff into posts that haven't
been said.

who said that it was wrong to do so?


You were implying it


No I wasn't.
I would have said evaded if I meant evaded.


Do you have a guilty feeling?

I am VAT registered, I have been for 18 years

I've had a VAT visit, no problems, It's left to the accountant


Oh look you have accidentally snipped the bit where I asked you to
confirm that you were wrong


And I will continue to do so.
Anyone who has read what i said will know I agree with what the IR
have said.
The fact that it winds you up for me not to say what you want me to
say is a good enough reason not to.


Has anyone else noticed the similarity between Dennis & Viki Pollard?

Yerbut, nobut, I didn't mean that, it was you being stupid, anyway it wasn't
me wot said that....

Stop trying to weedle out of it


You refused.
I want it in winter, I can film it and put your crashes on YouTube.

We might even be able to try out some of the technology TMH was on about
last week when they need to put fluids into you.

We could get Matty to make up some of the bits with his angle grinder, and
use an impact driver to put them in.

Not in the last 20 years... As to "so what?", don't you feel any
responsibility to contribute accurate information if you are going to post
your opinion as fact on public fora?


If i were answering a question then yes I would try to be accurate, that's
why I don't answer questions when I don't know anything about it.
When its general discussion then so what? Anyone can be wrong and it would
be just as foolish to base anything critical on one unknown persons
statements as it would to rely on a stranger in the pub.

So logically you are no longer able to answer any questions.

Why do you make a profession out of being a tosser ?

So who ****ed up then? Come on, admit it. It was you.


It was you, I know what pans are suitable, I didn't know if the pans were
suitable and trying them is the easy option.
You appear to think that trying something is wrong, do you have kids or have
you yet to try anything new?
I think its a good bet that you wouldn't know what pans would work even if
it were written on them and you wouldn't try them because you think the
thing will explode if you do.

I would have read the manual for the induction hob. I'll repeat it for you

http://www.kompernass.com/pages/_pdf...094a7cfc43.pdf


Now look at page 2 of the manual. It says

This appliance is not intended for use by individuals (including children)
with restricted physical, physiological or intellectual abilities or
deficiences in experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a
person responsible for their safety or receive from this person instruction
in how the appliance is to be used.

And from page 3

Use only cookware that is suitable for induction cookers:
Suitable are pots and pans with a base made of steel or cast iron. These
are recognisable either
through the markings on the pan or if a magnet clings to the base of the
pan.
Unsuitable are all types of cookware made of metals to which a magnet does
not cling, for example aluminium, copper and stainless steel, as well as
those made of porcelain, glass, ceramics and plastics.

Page 2 says YOU should not attempt to use an induction hob.

Actually Geoff made the offer. You refused.

grinder, and use an impact driver to put them in.


Dennis you should be in the Wizard of Oz. You could play the Tin Man, The
Scarecrow and the Lion by just being yourself.
