I'm just going to say lammy, will William Hill give me the odds ?.

its simple, every party lies to get into power then spends all their time trying to do nothing and just trying to keep their seat for as long as possible. none of them care about doing anything good for anyone but themselves. theyre all as bad as each other.

Can anyone please confirm this is honeyfungus? And could you advise… 15 months ago three Burches had to be taken down from this space due to root rot. This month this fungus has appeared on the stumps. You can see there is a big beautiful maple still standing. Do we leave it and wait-and-see? Removing the stumps would disturb the roots of the maple a couple of tree surgeons have confirmed they wouldn’t be happy to remove the stumps. One says take the tree down so that the fungus has nothing to feed on and the other says Watch and wait as it’s a lovely tree and it would be better off dying for honeyfungus than being taken down just in case. I would love your thoughts. We have lots of other trees and shrubs in the garden all of which look healthy at the moment. There is also a liquidambar which we planted earlier this year to replace the birches. It is looking very sad, but then it was a very, very hot summer and it seemed to have an ‘false autumn.’ All your thoughts are very welcome! I am just hoping you all advise the same thing 🤣

Webb are NOT a manufacturer. It is now a name owned by Handy garden machinery who are a distributor. They purchased the Webb name from Bosch over 10 years ago, who owned it back then (Bosch also owned the Qualcast and Atco names. The Qualcast name was purchased by the group that owns Homebase and Argos, and the Atco name was also purchased by the Handy group. The tooling rights and production stock of the then Atco and Qualcast cylinder mowers, were sold off without the brand names to Allett, who now market the old Atco Qulacast cylinder mowers as their own products) to put on stickers that they could attach on cheap chinese imported landfill machines- they aren't even made to their specification, just whatever they can buy that can be painted Webb green and carry a sticker. Their products are no better than anything you buy at toolstation, b&q, argos or screwfix, although if you need spares you may have slightly better chance with a Webb then a titan or any other shite makes they peddle, and Handy did at least import some spares with these machines- and they are pretty generic.

Well, Spud, you complain when threads stop and you never find out the end of the story although in my case you were probably happy to see the back of me. The saw had a couple of years of light use. I had to spray a bit of fuel on the airfilter to get it to take off but it seemed okay otherwise. Then I couldn't restart it when it got hot. Compression was down to 120psi. I took off the cylinder but really couldn't see any further damage. I put the wte1 carb on the super and got it to start and cut a bit of timber but I couldn't keep the revs down. It wanted to go up to 14000 and if I richened up the mix on H so much that it didn't the saw bogged in the cut.13k is the max for this saw. The bar is only 14" so that would encourage higher revs. After that even though the saw still had compression and strong spark I couldn't get it to fire even by squirting fuel into the cylinder or the airfilter. I think I flooded it but after trying to drain everything out it still wouldn't fire. I had enough. I put everything back together, the wte1 on the super, a wt194 on the non-super with the chinese cylinder which got the compression up to 140psi. That started no problem but couldn't tune it. Both sold off cheap now. They will either be the best or the worst thing he's ever bought. I'm going to buy an echo cs-310 for cutting branches and small trees. It will be fine for light use and I'll know what I have, namely new oem parts assembled properly in a factory instead of worn out used parts in combination with new dodgy chinese parts (because the oem ones are unavailable or too god damn expensive) all shoved together by myself hoping that they work and STAY working. THE END!

The Andrew’s are great boots. The Meindle are a bit hit and miss these days or so I hear. I have used both, 4 pairs of Airstreams and for the last eight years (since I moved to Norway) I have had 2 pairs of Andrew’s. In need of a new pair now as the mid sole has started to perish a bit.

That’s awful, Iain. Really sorry to hear about that. Keep an eye out on Facebook Marketplace and eBay for anything matching your list. Hope you get some leads soon and the gear turns up.

currently it would seem this is not the full picture, IMO it's about doing the opposite of what they stated in a manifesto, and the endless feckups, and cover ups. they all got apparently great ideas until they get to the position of carrying it out and then it all turns to sh1te. To be honest I personally don't think it will change under reform with farage in charge. but many think he's the answer. the worse the problems the more unacceptable the cure. the whole country is soaked in petrol metaphorically speaking,It's only a matter of time before somebody gets careless with the matches. what will arise from the ashes is anybodies guess.

With free burn holes, too. You may have more luck if you get a patch sewn over the damage.. it will catc and rip on bramble otherwise. When I started I was given a pair of medium Arbortec's that have always been far too small for me, waist fits but the legs too skiny, nearly new with a single 1p sized burn hole. Solidur have type A class 1's for £65 upto £180. Unsure from reading the listing what the difference is. I'm sure the more expensive are more comfortable and a better fit perhaps. The cheaper ones dont have a phone pocket. I couldnt see any other brand with class 3 but Solidur do them. Andrew's, mine have been durable. Perhaps not the best, but always kept my feet dry.

No idea, this was 5 years ago. The hospital tested me for loads of things, but all came back negative

Ooh no, Mr Dempsey, no. Merely someone who can't understand why we're all telling him to spend thousands of pounds on Professional gear, or get the professionals in. That's because he hasn't yet been there, done that, and got the T- Shirt, like we all have. Someone in another sphere once asked me how I knew all the things NOT to do? That would be Experience.

Right Jimmy, first of all, put out a request on Facebook or use Google. You are looking for lads who advertise " Garden Clearance". Try to pick a reputable one, that won't tip the resultant waste three streets away as they leave. Let me tell you a story about machinery, and a man with a lot to learn. Once upon a time, I was made redundant, and having set aside a sum of money for the purpose, I went to a reputable Stihl dealer to buy a Kombi unit. Negotiations went well, until the salesman asked me what I intended to do with the machine. " Why, earn money of course "says I. Salesman immediately refuses to sell me the machine. Informs me that despite bearing the legend of a Professional brand, this is the Domestic model, and not designed for me to beat the living daylights out of it in a concerted fashion. I will thus break it quickly, and come back and yell at him for selling me something unfit for purpose. He then sold me the Pro model, for £100 more, but he was totally and absolutely right. Thus began a relationship with that dealer still going today. Hawksmoor, Titan and other brands sold by Screwfix, Toolstation, B&Q and the rest are one of two things. 1) A lottery. A good one will last far longer than it has a right to do, and repay you well. I had a £20 9" angle grinder which endured years of abuse until I got a Stihlsaw. A bad one will refuse to start out of the box/second time you use it. The reviews on the sites will reflect this. 2) Disposable. Bought for one off jobs which you will never do again, and as long as it last long enough to finish the task, you've saved hundreds of pounds over hiring a professional, or buying an expensive piece of kit. Tears come to my eyes when I realise that one of my Kombi tools has cost me a thousand, yes a thousand pounds. Love it to bits though. ( And for those who haven't done the sums yet, in round numbers, just short of £500 for the big battery Kombi, £350 for the battery in it, and £150 for the bit you then screwed into it ). Believe me, if I could get away with £150 from Toolstation, I would do. Draw your own conclusions.

I was happy with V6 Ranger - better mpg than the previous 5 and 4 cylinder units. Simple adage for purchases, buy the best you csn afford! They are all a bit of the same tbh and you'll not get a 4x2 crew cab either! Trucks are such an emotive subject, so asking for subjective answers or examples would be better. Also think about maintaining this purchase - who is local to you and can they look after it for you?

Well, we have a Labour bashing thread (quite right too) so we really need to hear the other side of the coin. Now I know it is always easier to criticise the people who are actually making the decisions, but Reform do now run some councils, and soon they may run Wales, so let's hear both sides shall we? I will start off by declaring I do agree with many Reform policies, but I think they may go too far for me on the environment. Difficult to say until we have more detail about their policies. I am sure most people would agree that building a huge wind farm where there is no connectivity to use the energy generated is pretty dull (only in the UK I would guess), but that doesn't mean all renewable energy is a bad idea! If Reform do get in anytime soon I am sure they will hit me for having an electric car; but I could live with that if they actually do start to reform a few other things (like everything done by the government would be a good start).

Apart from that the socket and lights must all work there is only a legal requirement that a telltale in the cab must work in unison with the indicators, to show the bulbs are working, isn't there. I do wonder how they current sense?

Wouldn't want to bicker it in court

And discharging legal duty if something goes wrong

Whilst back in Blighty I am exploiting the consumables/cheap kit market, had some stuff from Chainsawbars delivered to the MIL house, always fantastic service. Then picked up these bargains off fleabay, Andrew Arbpro for £160 and a pair of Meindl Airstream for £180, I’ve never owned a pair of either, they may even see me through to retirement.

He was using a 10 year old stock image of a drug boat to back this action, a bit like the stock image of the same immigrant boat continuously arriving off Dover.

All about the oil. Venezuela has had sanctions against it for being naughty for years, cannot sell its oil. Trump wants them to behave so he can buy the oil.

I stand corrected (just seen the chiropracter)

And there's a pair of nearly new Solidurs in Arbtrader 😉
