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.

Freezing disrupts the cell walls such that the apples can be directly crushed to get the juice. The masceration is a preconditioning in front of the press. Where is @Peasgood he is into commercial scale cider making.

Chippering apples is definitely a thing. I've heard if it being done successfully before, forget where, but probably a cider making book. I think you'd still have to press the pulp though to express the juice. Putting them through the chipper would just be the "Scratting" stage, prior to pressing.

Thank you for the info, unfortunately not a 2095, but have asked him to keep an eye out.

No need to keep applying all that oil 3 coats is ample

Are you as stupid as Mick? Softly, Softly, the truth will out very soon, then I'll await your response.

After managing for several decades with a succession of unsatisfactory domestic 3-way Ladders, we also sometimes borrowed the safer (but super bulky) henchmans. I never dared leave them locked to a roof rack, overnight tho.. I then wasted 3 or 4 hundred quid on some good (but heavy) Zarges 3 way Ladders, but was gutted to use a customer's MacAlister domestic equivalent one's (at rather less than half the price and weight). Andy Ellis' Hailo ladders look like a much better compromise, to me...

Are these ‘wardens’ the same guys who invited you to the Tommy Toe-rag gig down in London? Maybe they have just heard the rumour and jumped the gun, misinforming you? Are they still making this claim now Haven have denied the rumour?

Yes they arrived, do you want to look like a cnut for questioning me when the truth is out in the next couple of days?

The ones that told you about the bus loads of immigrants, of which there are no photos, and Haven holidays have denied arrived? Forgive me if I take it with a pinch of salt.

Dear wife has just put the tenth and last coat of Tung oil on. We have put some different legs on which we are happy with

They won't have it until it comes to a town/city near them, wankers, nothing more, nothing less.

Keeping an open mind, give me a rest! This info came from the wardens in Clee.

Best way! I saw a statement the other week from a company dispelling rumours that their hotel was to be used for asylum seekers. It happened to peak my interest as I was looking to book a hotel in that area for this coming week, so I went to check them out. Lo and behold, 2 of their hotels were completely booked up till the middle of 2026. Make of that what you will.
