Two cracking songs. I might have had a phase of playing both on repeat when I first discovered the originals. They were well before my time, I only heard Somebody To Love because there was a dodgy dance remix played a lot on the radio about 20 years ago. Controversial! I think it sounded OK, had the same energy as the JA version. Better than this similar effort at least:-

No Stubby, they're straight shank.

Thanks, and reassuringly expensive. I've just had a small victory. I've just managed to get a 16 inch brush through a flue that Id only ever managed to get an 8 inch brush through (open fire / no steel liner / just original clay lining). Id been treating somewhat sceptically with powdered flue creosote cleaner, so maybe that stuff does work after all.

Hi all, I have a load of 020, 200t and other olderder sthil spares. Any suggestions best place to sell them? Ebay / Market place seem not specific enough. Cheers

Seen that one advertised between episodes of Bangers and Cash . Looks good v. All legs adjustable .

I guess you got it Oldfeller 👍👍I really didn’t think it was that difficult a post to comprehend 🤷‍♂️ Similar to the concept of “ time out” I guess some must have a different view on that to me.

I am trying to source some heavy weight brashwood/thatch rolls for covering some bird hides. Ideally 2m tall and 4-5m rolls. All the garden centres stuff is too lightweight and can be seen through, need quite thick stuff. Anyone know any suppliers?

Just a reminder of who’s helping to finance the war in Ukraine 🤔 The EU for starters is a wonderful customer, net zero green ideology has certainly fuelled the Russian war machine. Even here in the UK we have sent billions via the back door for refined products to Russia all the while strutting around boasting about how clean and green we supposedly are. “ world leaders” I think was the BS line swallowed by the gullible.

Hiya, Wondering if anyone has an old Ecrin Roc or Best in either yellow/green (i.e. not the usual red/white) they would be willing to sell for a price - simply a collectors interest, obviously would be past its retirement date. Many thanks
