The Brexit vote preceded Trumps first term. It was a legitimate democratic decision 🤷♂️ what has PPE contracts got to do with Reform??. If you are happy with tens of thousands of illegal unvetted immigrants arriving every year then yeah I guess you won’t agree with Reform. I’d imagine the parents of that poor girl whose killer has just been found guilty would rather the boats and the occupants hadn’t come. Just for your information she had 29 stab wounds to the head alone from a screw driver.

It looks more like Meripilus giganteus to me

Sadly not the case. The driver is always liable for the safety and roadworthiness of the vehicle. Towbars are not included in the MOT test except for 13-pin sockets (but not the earlier 7-pin) which bizarrely are tested.

Webb are NOT a manufacturer. It is now a name owned by Handy garden machinery who are a distributor. They purchased the Webb name from Bosch over 10 years ago, who owned it back then (Bosch also owned the Qualcast and Atco names. The Qualcast name was purchased by the group that owns Homebase and Argos, and the Atco name was also purchased by the Handy group. The tooling rights and production stock of the then Atco and Qualcast cylinder mowers, were sold off without the brand names to Allett, who now market the old Atco Qulacast cylinder mowers as their own products) to put on stickers that they could attach on cheap chinese imported landfill machines- they aren't even made to their specification, just whatever they can buy that can be painted Webb green and carry a sticker. Their products are no better than anything you buy at toolstation, b&q, argos or screwfix, although if you need spares you may have slightly better chance with a Webb then a titan or any other shite makes they peddle, and Handy did at least import some spares with these machines- and they are pretty generic.

Well, Spud, you complain when threads stop and you never find out the end of the story although in my case you were probably happy to see the back of me. The saw had a couple of years of light use. I had to spray a bit of fuel on the airfilter to get it to take off but it seemed okay otherwise. Then I couldn't restart it when it got hot. Compression was down to 120psi. I took off the cylinder but really couldn't see any further damage. I put the wte1 carb on the super and got it to start and cut a bit of timber but I couldn't keep the revs down. It wanted to go up to 14000 and if I richened up the mix on H so much that it didn't the saw bogged in the cut.13k is the max for this saw. The bar is only 14" so that would encourage higher revs. After that even though the saw still had compression and strong spark I couldn't get it to fire even by squirting fuel into the cylinder or the airfilter. I think I flooded it but after trying to drain everything out it still wouldn't fire. I had enough. I put everything back together, the wte1 on the super, a wt194 on the non-super with the chinese cylinder which got the compression up to 140psi. That started no problem but couldn't tune it. Both sold off cheap now. They will either be the best or the worst thing he's ever bought. I'm going to buy an echo cs-310 for cutting branches and small trees. It will be fine for light use and I'll know what I have, namely new oem parts assembled properly in a factory instead of worn out used parts in combination with new dodgy chinese parts (because the oem ones are unavailable or too god damn expensive) all shoved together by myself hoping that they work and STAY working. THE END!

The Andrew’s are great boots. The Meindle are a bit hit and miss these days or so I hear. I have used both, 4 pairs of Airstreams and for the last eight years (since I moved to Norway) I have had 2 pairs of Andrew’s. In need of a new pair now as the mid sole has started to perish a bit.

That’s awful, Iain. Really sorry to hear about that. Keep an eye out on Facebook Marketplace and eBay for anything matching your list. Hope you get some leads soon and the gear turns up.

No idea, this was 5 years ago. The hospital tested me for loads of things, but all came back negative

I was happy with V6 Ranger - better mpg than the previous 5 and 4 cylinder units. Simple adage for purchases, buy the best you csn afford! They are all a bit of the same tbh and you'll not get a 4x2 crew cab either! Trucks are such an emotive subject, so asking for subjective answers or examples would be better. Also think about maintaining this purchase - who is local to you and can they look after it for you?

He was using a 10 year old stock image of a drug boat to back this action, a bit like the stock image of the same immigrant boat continuously arriving off Dover.

Good Morning Split and Stack today. Play up Pompey!

Yes and seeing as though mine has split all from the base it would seem that the Flexi is required. I think one of the yanmar exhaust cut down and paired with a Flexi should do the job. The only thing I need to work out is how secure it above the Flexi, maybe just a bracket on to the top one the bonnet.

Got to understand the tip sites a bit... Most of the local firms around your area, the ones doing the majority of the work, will be set up where to get rid of their waste. If someone is working in your area who isn't so local their usual tip sites could be 1 hour+ round trip way and so will be looking for somewhere local to tip. What that means in reality from the tip sites alone, they arn't going making a track to your door with piles of logs - it will be the occasional load from out of area tree surgeons. This is compounded with many homeowners seeing the prices of kiln-dried-and-delivered logs and their freshly-cut-down-unsplit-and-green tree thinking they are quids in off facebook marketplace and ask to keep the logs. Fewer logs for the tree surgeons to take away to tip. I reckon on a load or 2 every year but most of these are from contacts I have made locally - hearing a chainsaw in the distance and taking a lunchtime walk to see who it is and ask nice (when they arn't stuck up a tree of course) So the tip sites are a handy thing to use, but don't rely on them for all your winter heating. You ca make your site more visible perhaps with a consideration for petrol or whatever offered and to make tipping at yours as easy as possible
