I recently spoke with our local (NW England) Echo rep about a new pruning saw -and repeated the poor reputation reports of their (quite expensive) batteries . He said: Oh yes, we know, they weren't without issues.. 'We have just changed our battery manufacturer and ironed out some design issues too. The new batteries are much better, and less bothered by rain '. TaxusBaccata I've often found that speaking to the very helpful Technical director at F G Claymore (the Echo UK main agents), often helps sort out difficult tech issues.. give him a call?

hey come on now, I realise you get a great feeling of camaraderie from being on Mark J's side and ganging up against the monster, but single word insults like 'Tosser' are not the way to discuss current affairs. If you feel that Johnsond has become offensive, then just write about a news item that interests you - don't lower yourself even lower than he is. Now this is honest thinking Trump says US needs to 'own' Greenland to prevent Russia and China from taking it if Trump can say openly he is scared of China and Russia (who are also monsters) just how much of an arms race can the taxpayer bear? The US needs to own America to prevent China from taking it - hence the tariffs. It's a complex world - Trump is bound to make mistakes. No nukes have gone off yet, so all good

Tosser. You appear to be even more argumentative this week, more insulting to all, more rightarded that usual. Wonder if the problem is Mrs J isn't giving enough action for your liking over the Christmas period? Perhaps take yourself off for some quality 'thinking time' mighty calm you down?

Play the ball not the player lad, I get the feeling you ain’t on good form this morning Mark 🤔🤔sore head and angry with life perhaps 😞 Right lad slate hearth to fit for the new Morso and some climate change snow to clear so you will have to wait. Try fresh air and water 👍👍or I always found a good sniff of pure 02 or a dive sorted the head, higher PP02 definitely the ticket.

I was doing that when I was a child, it’s k when you 12 your brain still developing…. But when you adult you must understand that broken spine will destroy not only your life but the life of someone else who will look after this imbecile! It’s simple you want to die , die like a man on Battlefront !!! Nothing to see in that video only mentally ill and mentally undeveloped idiot!

I'm still waiting for that 80-90 year old religious fanatic to be captured by the mob. AND a video with him like Lybia's Ghadafi. Will not settle for anything less 😁🙄

That has to by the most hypocritical thing you've posted. You and nuance don't fit in the same book.

Why not? They look almost the same 😁🙄 This was my border collie. died a few years ago... colon cancer, twice operated... Until I said its enough suffering for one dog...

Early start with the leftard prick quest today lad especially for you. If you genuinely can’t grasp what’s written there regardless of any grammatical errors then that’s most definitely not a good sign or indication of your cognitive functioning on a Friday night. There’s a few on here obsessed with Trump lad, you being one of the worst, like I say in your eyes if you are not a hater then you must support him, I’m indifferent in many respects as it’s not our country and I can’t vote there so out of my hands. Anyway have a read of the article below, maybe grab a cup of tea and get some fresh air, walk off the “ I can take it or leave it” Friday night excess. “Nuance is gone.” We’ve reached a point where people are openly proud that complexity doesn’t matter anymore. Where the immediate reflex is “pick your team and attack.” I’ve been watching this Renee Good situation unfold, and it’s textbook “politically homeless” territory. ICE officers approach a car. There’s a confrontation. Renee Good, the driver, ends up dead. And before any investigation completes, before anyone knows what actually happened - both sides have already decided who’s guilty. One side screams “murderer.” The other screams “justified.” And anyone saying “maybe we should wait for facts” gets attacked by both. This is the same shit I see every day doing crisis work. Border Patrol and federal agents I’ve worked with in Mexico - good people trying to do impossible jobs under impossible conditions. Afghan refugees I’ve helped across borders because the legal system was letting them die. Both of those things can be true at the same time. You can believe immigration enforcement is necessary AND believe the system is broken. You can believe law enforcement does critical work AND believe some officers abuse power. You can recognize that tense situations lead to split-second decisions AND still demand transparency when those decisions end in death. But we don’t allow for that anymore. We’ve built a system where you have to choose: Back the blue no matter what, or all cops are bastards. Support border security completely, or you’re a fascist. Question any immigration enforcement, or you want open borders. The truth is usually somewhere in the messy middle. I’ve worked with CBP agents who later saved my ass getting Arezo into the country legally. Same trip, I watched other officials treat desperate families like animals. I’ve seen Memphis cops show up at 3am to help get a trafficking victim to safety. I’ve also been manhandled by MPD while handcuffed. Real life is complicated. But “Nuance is gone” gets celebrated because nuance doesn’t drive engagement. Outrage does. Division does. Tribal loyalty does. The system profits when you pick a side and stop thinking. I’m not saying don’t have opinions. I’m saying maybe we should stop treating every incident like a political purity test where you have to defend “your team” no matter what the facts show. Maybe an ICE officer made a terrible decision. Maybe Renee Good made terrible decisions. Maybe they both did. Maybe neither did, and this was just tragedy. We don’t know yet. And the fact that saying “we don’t know yet” makes people angry? That’s the whole ****************ing problem. I don’t care if you’re pro-cop or anti-cop, pro-ICE or anti-ICE. I care if you’re willing to let facts matter more than team loyalty. Because the streets don’t ask how you vote before consequences hit. And if we keep letting ideology override reality, we’re not solving anything - we’re just yelling “it’s YOUR turn to get more water” at each other while the house burns down around us.

Nothing to do with arrogance. I genuinely don't understand the sentence with emojis that you wrote, so I asked you to write it in English. Nothing to do with your Trump Dicksucking Syndrome.

This is basically my thinking. She shouldn’t have been shot, but at the same time what was she thinking?

Morning all, Nice and frosty here, blue sky and sunny. Got to empty all the tools from the van ready for service and MOT. You can tell the difference driving it without all the kit onboard. Have a good weekend

It normally means a slight leak in the heating circuit, often only visible around a radiator tap gland as a faint greenish stain. The heat of the water having evaporated the leak before it drips.

We require a climbing Arborist for a temporary position at Exe Tree care, based in Exeter. The likely period is 2-3months, up to 5 days per week. The reasons are that two members of staff have become ill over an extended period. Self employed preferred. Own PPE required. Own climbing equipment preferred, but can be provided if necessary.
