American sizing large is that the same as size tent for most other countries?

Three and Vodafone?

They haven’t. O2 merged with Virgin Media.

I've got one of those top ones. The leather discs make a really good handle, comfy and grippy. I bought it in a French hypermarket years ago. Badged as a Serpe Italien I seem to remember.

I would imagine scotchbrite or 400 grit emery paper would be enough and just use a little GT85 or WD40 whilst rubbing......not up and down but around the bore.

Looks like Starmer had his arse handed to him by his boss, what a bunch of incompetent fools

Italy unlike the UK still has a several traditional makers and decent range of regional billhook patterns. BR Rinaldi | Attrezzi Agricoli Forgiati WWW.BR-RINALDI.IT Or if you like different shaped hoes Orsatti ORSATTIZAPPE.IT

Happy to cut and split wood as required, will pay beer tokens

Then it’s on you, you didn’t tell them there was an issue, you just asked them to service it.

With a bit of luck, cheaper than a hydrostatic drive M500.

Exactly on doing it yourself, I wouldn't have expected to do too much on a two year old machine, I think I must have been pretty cheap when I was doing repairs. Without seeing it and without any broken/ damaged parts....1-1.5 Hrs should have done it with parts on top.

I did to begin with. Like an idiot, I changed the oil, sparkplug, and air filter 3 days before I took it to the shop. The problem was that it was running erratically and rough so I thought it could be something that needed looking at by someone with more skills than me. Now I'm thinking that they just replaced the parts that I had already put in, and that's it. I thought they might strip it down and give it a good overhaul for the price they have charged.

O2 and Vodafone have merged too. Telecoms masts: The remote ones will have a back up generator but the ones near town will have a battery back up and that's about all - suspect in a power cut everyone will go onto their phones and off the WIFIs which will drain the battery powered towers. Not sure about whatever exchanges type of things mobile phones use, but if a power cut affects them it will knock it all out. Apart from the trees, a directional antenna should give you a better service - pointed at a mast somewhere - like a TV areal points to a transmitter 10s of miles away still gets a signal to most places.. but with the trees you would need that above the top of them Sounds like the solution is Starlink to be honest, suffer filling Musks bank account, and you should be able to move your number over - if not wonder if you can get it forwarded to a different phone but that might mean paying for 2 services.

S&J Family tree WWW.TIMELESSTOOLS.CO.UK There used to be so many edge tool makers around, they gradually got bought up and amalgamated over time. I've seen other family trees like this one as well.

Nah, I think not Medlar.

Probably is cotonaster but maybe Medlar?

Remember there are only 3 real networks, Vodafone, O2 and EE (T-Mobile and Orange combined). Despite whatever bullshit they all come out with about ‘having their own network’. Shame we can’t follow the European model of just locking onto the strongest available network.

Have you tried different networks? At our house we don't get any reception from 3, poor reception from O2 but EE is workable but it's worse in the summer when the hedges leaf up and grow as they block the line to the transmitter. An external aerial on the end of a long pole helps. On a side note when we had long powercut a while back both our local phone masts also went down. As for Starlink, although the latency is better than old style satellites it might take a bit of getting used to as there will be a bit of a delay.

Not cleaned the top left yet so not sure of the maker. Clockwise from top, Elwell Yorkshire with handle by Elwell, red is Bulldog, then biped, elwell slasher , WS? , Skelton.

Thing is for Biden, I don't think any of the commentators here were trying to defend him. However he appeared to have a team around him who were willing and able to take charge and keep the US on a fairly even keel, and to contain any trouble he was making. Leadership might have been missing but nothing too mental was happening. The end of his time wasn't a scary time for the world. With Trump, he has surrounded himself with 'Yes Men' who are unable to keep him contained, eager to please the 'emperor with no clothes' (unable to talk frankly to him), and going along with all he says. US is not on an even keel at the moment. Any madness of Trump is straight out into the world, the stock markets are bouncing all over, his allies around the world have no idea how to react and this is leading the US to be slowly isolated (who were his friends in his billion dollar peace blag? list the 17 other world leaders there and you'll see none of the powerful nations were represented, isolated in his madness). Trumps time is a scary time for the world.

Bang on, had a rubber handle "tested to 20000 volts"! Made by Elwell

Yes, but I’d already have an Avant on site so there’d be an easier clear up.
