Brace yourself.. reply incoming shortly.

They wouldn't be able to afford me.

So typically the holiday resorts are cleaned by people, these people do not live on site, but are - get this - bussed in in the morning - they then do cleaning. One thing that has struck me when we were having a break at some is that the cleaners tend to be coloured - African or Asian descent. So I guess if you were just passing the bus stop in the morning, a coach pulls up, 30 coloured cleaners get off I can see how you can be mistaken. Might be that if the observer was particularly stupid and not checking things out they'd go to the press with a poor photo and a bad observation - and the press, willing to sell papers to the idiots would go with the story without checking it out. Typically holiday parks are run on a tight budget, do not have the cash set aside to pay fines for employing workers illegally - these bussed in workers are there legally and there, on minimum wage, to clean up others shit. Cannot afford cleaners stealing either, all will have been checked out properly. Might be an observation on UK society on a whole but the only people wanting to clean up after others are immigrants, 'we' don't want to do it... and until we do we will need low paid immigrants willing to graft to make a better life for themselves.

Not in my Crocs i won't. The drive there and back is good, Google Earth doesn't do the terrain justice, even getting down to the bottom of the Gorge is a hike! Will have a meal or two in Chora Skafion though! Really treating myself tonight, got a 1.5ltr plastic bottle of dry red for €3.88!

I've never met any really. But they seem awesome. Especially Brisbane where we are going.

Evasive? You've known me long enough to know that isn't my style young man.

Stihl gta26 does wonders for light pruning. 2 batteries, if there is substantial work to be done It is quite a step up from silky. I dont see a point in larger saw if all pruning is up to like 5 inches.

It's rare I find an Aussie I dislike. Watch a few on youtube. Have a good mate living over here.

I understand your point. In a sense.

And you still haven't. I'm either way. You're being evasive. The papers are untrustworthy. I wouldn't even believe photos in fairness. They could easily be faked these days. I have to keep reminding myself that until I've seen it with my own eyes, in the flesh, and probably gone as far as touching it, I can't really believe it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a modicum of truth in it to be honest. A couple of coach loads of unprocessed individuals being temporarily held on site until a permanent location is finalised, obviously being downplayed/lied about by Haven. I mean, imagine paying £1200 quid for a family holiday and then this happens, it would be a total walkout and refund wouldn’t it?

Which way do you and Alex think it will go?

If the wife is happy , I am not going to stop her! Happy wife happy life!

Or him and his mates could look like a bunch of shit stirring Ollie Muirs fan boy little bitches, it’s balanced on a knifedge. 😂

I reckon I wont mind the snakes and spiders, even the heat I'll get used to. It's the Aussies that might take some warming to. Or maybe I'll think they are all amazing from the get go. Who knows. No idea what to expect really but worth a punt innit

Señor Egg. You can shut Mick’s coward, deserting, Francofagging piehole with a photo from your friends of course.

A cabinet maker friend told me to oil my newly finished furniture once a day for a week, once a week for a month, then once a year for life.

Not my work. A customer made them from stuff I cut down. That was probably ten years ago; still going strong today.

Anything to add @Johnsond? It's very unlike you to stay silent on a subject such as this. Surely you've got a LinxedIn screenshot to stick up to confirm this as real news, rather than Fake Facebook News? You're normally first on the scene with the scoop, don't be shy now, you can emerge from the shadows.

In fairness, Simon darling, you have steadfastly avoided giving any straight answer along the lines of, “I spoke to the wardens. They told me they’d seen the coaches with their own eyes.”

Stupid as Mick? I am quite surprised by now that no holiday maker currently on site has refuted the Haven claims and sent photo images of these 100 or so immigrants to the local press etc. Or that no journalists or even somebody representing Reform haven’t sent someone down there to collect some evidence. Hopefully the press release by Haven turns out to be lies, and your mates turn out to be right.

Tried it with WD. Idling and flat out. Seems fine.

I have a freestanding triple ladder, with adjustable levelling bar. It can be used as an A frame, with adjustable extension, but it's heavy, awkward, and doesn't fit close to hedges most times. henchman tripods make it redundant for that, in my humble opinion. For the chap who said it's awkward with the long reach trimmer on these, I now have an ordinary cutter to cut my way in close to, and then use the long reach.

I did wonder about the model when I saw it, but i'll keep an eye open too.

I like spiders, and snakes, you know where you stand with them, humans,,, not so much, horrible devious feckers,, especially the females.
