Its interesting how people's opinions vary. What's your 'go to' saw now and why?

East Europeans are not emigrants, it is best what happen to GB , you will remember that in 50 years while your daughter will wear a full face cover and your son praying Allah🫣And every second call will be Indian scammers🤣, also your hospitals will become a tip site with homeless Indian and useless Pakistani and Nigerian doctors it’s happening right now and I’m afraid you can’t do anything about this!! Ya I forgot that your granddaughter will not be capable of to left a house without bunch of Ukrainian veteran bodyguards ! Yes I can say all this as I’m immigrant myself, the problem with immigration is simple it is MENTALITY….. you move to GB you must become an English , but all those newcomers wanted there little Pakistan or Honduras or India…… Trust me every Polish who come in England wanted to become Englishman, plus 1 Lithuanian worker equivalent of 10 Pakistani plus 5 Nigerians, and one kristian Philippine nurse worth 10 untidy Indians . I think I have 10 years jail now from GB HALF INDIAN government isn’t????

Never been keen fan of them, I'm greatful my 241cm got stolen..although a pro saw was very heavy for a 40cc saw and the 260/261cm wasn't much better

Now we're getting to the crux of the matter. "So if we have 50000 small boats migrants a year and say 30000 of those remain, we now need extra housing for 30000 more people than the year before - plus extra housing for net increase due to legal migrants granted work and study visas." 30000 << legal migrants granted work and study visas. But still, immigration has very little to do with the overinflated housing market in the UK.

No, benefits and job prospects are. So as these are lower in e.g Bulgaria, legal and illegal migration to that country are lower than to England. So with less migrants to find accomodation for there is lower demand for houses in Bulgaria. So if we have 50000 small boats migrants a year and say 30000 of those remain, we now need extra housing for 30000 more people than the year before - plus extra housing for net increase due to legal migrants granted work and study visas. Migrants are the sole reason for UK population growth. The UK birth rate has been below 2 for many years.

Good start today could only be one word Wordle 1,530 2/6* 🟨⬜🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I changed settings to hard mode ages ago and it actually helps you to not make mistakes.

Thanks. I really liked how nimble and light was my old hedge trimmer. Even though it lacked in capacity to cut thicker branches. Than i would have plenty of work where stihl 140 r would be useful. I wonder if makita uh006 is on par with srihl 140r. If hedge trimmers were not so bulky it would almost be a case to buy two. One small and one large. Plenty of models available on the market.

Yeah, housing costs, front and centre of every migrants thoughts 🙄

Wordle 1,530 X/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟨🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 Didn’t make a single mistake, just the Gods of Wordle laughing at me.

No, not having that! I pushed them up somehow in the 80's. We had a new build (social housing) 2 bed end terrace of 3 houses in 85/6, £18 900, we sold it two years later for £38 000, the house building trade took off for 5 years until supply outstripped demand and building almost stopped but prices didn't.

Good morning Arbtalkers 😊 A lot cooler here today 😎

Morning all, Good on yer Stubby. Cutting up yesterday’s timber and a bit of a clean up, hopefully before the rain.

Love my 261C -2015- Mine has a 16" bar and I've never felt the need for more. Heavy on fuel? I wouldn't say so. 2 tanks to every one of oil. Certainly not as juicy as the 881 on a mill. Drinks like Olly Reed P.s. mines ported (2021) and that has made no real change to thee fuel or bar choice.

This side of the island has it for us. Especially the stretch from Chora to Plakias. I know that is lazy tourism but a holiday is a choice thing and we come mainly to do not a lot! Awake far too early again. Will go back to sleep again in a mo, kip on the beach too no doubt! Melon, Collie.

there are lots of immigrants arriving in England, meaning the available land has to support more people, not many immigrants chose Bulgaria, or even rural Italy. Those places with less people, property is much cheaper . Surely without legal and illegal immigration England too would have less thriving economy, but also lower property prices? Rural places in Europe where the young move to cities or abroad for work, thats where the property is cheap. Supply and demand

Immigrants is an almost complete non sequitur. They're an annoying drip from a torn umbrella. The rain is the problem. Immigrants didn't take us off the gold standard. That was the death knell. We weren't as far round the curve on the graph in the 70s as we are now. Imagine what it'll look like as the curve gets curvier. 8:1. Pffft. See how 80:1 feels.
