All Activity

Sounds like it has sheared the flywheel key knocking the ignition timing out.

Best I could find: https://hansard.parliament.uk/‌Commons/1985-06-17/debates/908b9d70-4768-490f-9230-c34828b551ad/ForestryCommission Last paragraph. The dates fit my recollection. It looks like the 1967 Act applies and it was a change in the criteria the FC would grant a licence that meant it was not possible to convert the land.

Lovely. I helped a mate mill some fallen oak a couple of winters ago. Got some pretty nice looking boards. I went on his stag do in June and we all started at his house. I hadn’t even realised he had used the boards but his dining table looked pretty stunning.

Interestingly but not surprisingly, it would appear that the home office have changed the goalposts once again. SGC will soon be requiring 2 referees and more alarmingly FEOs bit be allowed to ask questions of other household members, if i read it correctly.

Unless you're in Scotland

You don’t need to register a sub-12 ft/lbs airgun Pete. If it’s more powerful than that you’d need an FAC.

Go on then.

We asked Citb for a course they replied that the machine is a chariot and not covered by any of their tests , didn’t bother with the forestry, npors had no qualification for a machine that you stand on my machine is a loader and dumper had it on site at Nine Elms on roof gardens they were happy as it weighs less than a tonne, what ticket have you got.?

My Grandad had a love of guns, he was a sniper at Ypres in WW1. Post war, he was either poacher, loader or keeper on the local estate, depending on the occasion. He also ran a gun club and shooting range at one point. I can remember various cartridges etc in pots, ashtrays and piles around his place. He ran the local Post Office too, back when they didn't sell anything apart postal stuff. After he died at home in the early 80's, his children met to empty the house. In the big walk in cupboard/room under the stairs, casually hidden under a pile of Post Office clothing/coats etc they found 6 x Martini Henry action .22 rifles, a 410 garden gun and a single shot walking stick 12 gauge. A couple of air rifles were also present. The local Bobby was approached who visibly blanched and basically suggested that as unlicensed and unregistered, the implications were pretty awful to all concerned, him included! A grave was dug up in the orchard and, apart from the airguns, barrels first, these were knocked in with a sledge! Prayers were said and the hole filled. Later that night, a fair bit of ammo fell into the canal near the lock gates. The next year, the canal was drained to mend the locks and the finds caused a stir locally. I must get that airgun in my wardrobe registered too! Almost brand new and in a box! I am the current custodian as mother has laid a claim to it! What she wants it for I don't know!

Pick all the squares with presidents:

You need three things, fuel, air, spark. If one is missing, it will not work?

Is that because they don't have a qualified instructor in, cpcs or forestry machinery certs.? Or are they npors We have a tracked dumper , its still covered on site as a tracked dumper. Is this npors or lantra that did a cert?

I strongly suspect 4 is fine to pay the bill to have the evergreen ones reduced to under 2M if necessary. Those aren't the concern, it's the deciduous ones next to them which they're much more protective over. It appears to be much sensitive with those. Personally i'm fine with that approach. Again i'm just not certain which way the council will go with this one. Hopefully the deciduous ones dont get affected too much. 😞

Curtis Yarvin - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Like Cummins on steroids. If you want to know why America has turned into a fascist state, look no further.

High Hedges bring out the worst.

Yes, that's possible - all depends how they get on with the neighbours generally. I guess we get a slanted view of the world here with so many threads along the lines of "having a dispute with the ass of a neighbour, what is the legal position, what can we / they do / can't do"... but some neighbours must be friendly somewhere?

I'll have to check. I know the amounts that could be felled without a licence changed, before I started work, with the 1967 act but I thought it was a later act that prevented conversion of forestry to agriculture. The reason I remember is that I worked with a couple of chaps with a Cat 951 that cleared such land and I would have the wood, for selling as pulp. The Cat would push them over and I would knot them out and cut off the root. That came to an end because of the change in the law. I was nearly killed on one job, creating a pony paddock beside a manor house for new owners, the agricultural land all having been sold off to a neighbouring farm, I was working too close behind the cat snedding a birch when the back edge of the power fork caught another birch as he reversed and turned, the top landed on me

Always found it cheaper to buy a new saw rather than rebuild cutoff saws just get too much abuse

Sorry to be a pain , but have you got the right legislation there? 1986 Act only allowed for restocking on conviction.

I don't know because I didn't get a gun of my own ( a webley and scott bolt action .410) till about 72 and I cannot remember how I got the licence but it didn't involve having to see a policeman.

Just been into a site today no certs required for tracked loader or carrier if you don’t sit on it with a seat belt if you stand up it’s a wheelbarrow thats not to say shouldn’t have some training we sent the manual for mine to our local training company, they came out and we spent a afternoon showing them how to use it, they then gave us a certificate

Yes there's been a gun license atleast as far back as post WW2, I was told by grandad buying a shotgun at auction and told he'd have to pop to the police station first. He remembered it well, as the license cost more than the old hammer action side by side shotgun.

Bought from a catalogue too if I recall , I had a mossberg slugster 8+1 that had to be crimped when the regs changed.

The phrase "simmering resentment" comes to mind. No-one likes a freeloader.
