    I've always wondered why we dont send it to parts of Africa...

    It grows 2-4 inches a day, the shoots are edible, it stabilises the soil and can survive and grow in drought conditions...

    Seems ideal for parts of Ethiopia etc...

    There is still some?

    I'm sure you know what i mean...

    As the soil is destabilising due to the droughts and encroaching desert.. plant this stuff to try and slow that process down... and possibly reverse it.

    It's just also very fortunate that it grows very quickly (like i said 2-4 inches a DAY).. and it's edible.

    Supposed to taste quite nice.. like almonds I believe.

    I quite understand that there would be problems after a few years, but its the only type of case I can think of that planting the stuff may actually cure more problems (and save quite a few lives) that it causes.

    The old fridge will have a disposal cost rather than a realiseable residual value. It is almost certainly full of CFCs and new regulations require its safe disposal.

    Assuming the new fridge consumes approximately 50% less power than the old one it will however (at Scottish Power electricity charges) pay for itself in about two weeks.

    With all due respect, mate. That's a completely uninformed, specious and pish statement.

    The fridge isn't a business asset but belongs to two people from the UK who can simply take the fridge to the nearest council dump and they'll dispose of it free of charge.

    Personally, I'd go for a fifteen year lifespan with revaluations when the asset is at 2, 7 and 10 years old. People buy and sell fridges all the time in t'free-ads. It might pay you to keep an eye on the local market for this to correctly ascertain the realisable value of said asset when a revaluation is becoming due - because unless it's completely stopped working, its value will not be zero.

    The fridge however may suffer a crippling injury, perhaps caused by an ill timed tackle. It is therefore a good idea to get it off the books a.s.a.p to better represent the value of the organisation.
