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?

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.

But are far worse then Lidl Aldi cheep boots now. only the price is still of high end for them -

Venezuela's Maduro says US 'fabricating war' after it deployed huge warship WWW.BBC.CO.UK The deployment of the USS Gerald R Ford marks a major escalation in what the US says is a campaign to target drug traffickers. That's one way to win a Nobel Peace Prize.
