Starmer 🤔no chance

I've just heard him described as an Alpha Thicko. Very app.

Full strip down at that price? Sorry, but if have specific needs then please give them a clue. If you dont want oil and filter but there is a problem, let them spend your money sorting that rather than stuff that had been done. £65 ph is £195 for a three hour visual and physical check and change of service items which sounds good to me. My Hilux has done 10k miles in ten weeks and goes for a service on Monday, I will ask for a few things to be checked and will expect to pay more than the stated £384.....

American sizing large is that the same as size tent for most other countries?

Three and Vodafone?

They haven’t. O2 merged with Virgin Media.

I've got one of those top ones. The leather discs make a really good handle, comfy and grippy. I bought it in a French hypermarket years ago. Badged as a Serpe Italien I seem to remember.

I would imagine scotchbrite or 400 grit emery paper would be enough and just use a little GT85 or WD40 whilst rubbing......not up and down but around the bore.

Looks like Starmer had his arse handed to him by his boss, what a bunch of incompetent fools

Italy unlike the UK still has a several traditional makers and decent range of regional billhook patterns. BR Rinaldi | Attrezzi Agricoli Forgiati WWW.BR-RINALDI.IT Or if you like different shaped hoes Orsatti ORSATTIZAPPE.IT

Happy to cut and split wood as required, will pay beer tokens

Then it’s on you, you didn’t tell them there was an issue, you just asked them to service it.

With a bit of luck, cheaper than a hydrostatic drive M500.

Exactly on doing it yourself, I wouldn't have expected to do too much on a two year old machine, I think I must have been pretty cheap when I was doing repairs. Without seeing it and without any broken/ damaged parts....1-1.5 Hrs should have done it with parts on top.

I did to begin with. Like an idiot, I changed the oil, sparkplug, and air filter 3 days before I took it to the shop. The problem was that it was running erratically and rough so I thought it could be something that needed looking at by someone with more skills than me. Now I'm thinking that they just replaced the parts that I had already put in, and that's it. I thought they might strip it down and give it a good overhaul for the price they have charged.

O2 and Vodafone have merged too. Telecoms masts: The remote ones will have a back up generator but the ones near town will have a battery back up and that's about all - suspect in a power cut everyone will go onto their phones and off the WIFIs which will drain the battery powered towers. Not sure about whatever exchanges type of things mobile phones use, but if a power cut affects them it will knock it all out. Apart from the trees, a directional antenna should give you a better service - pointed at a mast somewhere - like a TV areal points to a transmitter 10s of miles away still gets a signal to most places.. but with the trees you would need that above the top of them Sounds like the solution is Starlink to be honest, suffer filling Musks bank account, and you should be able to move your number over - if not wonder if you can get it forwarded to a different phone but that might mean paying for 2 services.

Nah, I think not Medlar.

Probably is cotonaster but maybe Medlar?

Remember there are only 3 real networks, Vodafone, O2 and EE (T-Mobile and Orange combined). Despite whatever bullshit they all come out with about ‘having their own network’. Shame we can’t follow the European model of just locking onto the strongest available network.

Have you tried different networks? At our house we don't get any reception from 3, poor reception from O2 but EE is workable but it's worse in the summer when the hedges leaf up and grow as they block the line to the transmitter. An external aerial on the end of a long pole helps. On a side note when we had long powercut a while back both our local phone masts also went down. As for Starlink, although the latency is better than old style satellites it might take a bit of getting used to as there will be a bit of a delay.

Not cleaned the top left yet so not sure of the maker. Clockwise from top, Elwell Yorkshire with handle by Elwell, red is Bulldog, then biped, elwell slasher , WS? , Skelton.
