so how would you see the site be partly funded then.. aslets face it i go on plenty of sites that have adverts betwen posts and it pisses me off emensly....
so just because you work from home are vat registered but have a seperate workshop where is the difference from bobby whoever who can supply spare parts 10% cheaper than a large company as he does not have all the overheads but is vat registered who sits in his converted offfice in his house drinking tea ???

just interested tim as it sems that you are trying to make a point of this one issue ..

why should we as a site allow someone to advertise themselves free of charge when we make pete or you pay or for the privilige ?
i got to know of you through here and have spent a couple of quid with you not much but had it not been for Passionford then it would have been some local scrappy BUT i made a choice to get it from an established trustworthy breaker.... and this is what we want the users of Passionford to feel aswell..
