Yeah, but does your Echo sound as shit?

I knew,, it was me the original comment was aimed at, I said as much at the time. it's always the same little group, quick with their "racist" accusations at every opportunity, although it might improve now one of them has had the ww2 shell removed from his ass.

OK, sensible suggestion... This falls under duty of care, duty of care only kicks in when the tree owners are aware of the issue. Simply write them a letter stating that the tree species is inappropriate to be planted so close to property. clay soils etc and may cause property damage. They have a duty of care to ensure their trees don't cause damage to other people's property. Let them know that now that they have been made aware of the potential issue they or their insurance will be liable for any subsequent damage. Send letter 'signed for' delivery so you have proof they got the letter. Problems are not likely to happen for a few years so relax and let the tree grow. Prune any overhang back as necessary and if there are any structural issues in the future you have a legal footing and proof of their negligence in managing the tree.

It’s not my idea. There have been various up-tree rigging devices over the years, including a shrouded portawrap that prevents rope pinch. And there’s still a lot going for the layout. Hence why I suspect Matty’s safebloc strategy is pretty good.

Shame it wasn't a woman, apparently they can multitask and safely keep their eye on the task as well as the camera.

Yes the banks here do tend to be a bit lower than down there, but we should have some tall ones too. This one's got a bit of clawdd too, stone faced earth bank much like Devon hedges? It's in pretty poor condition though and no grant towards restoration on this hedge.

That makes sens though I'd never have guessed it.

Well I agree with some of your analysis. Some of the above are just catalists, not causes. I would add to your list human nature (greed, envy, ego, inability to think critically and analytically and plain old selfishness) and 'The Establishment'. Especially the educational establishment, especially universities. Since when is education supposed to be political? And lastly the general unwillingness to engage in discussion and debate (which I think starts at school). By the way I have particular beef with schools as my boy was reported to the anti-terror radicalisation program (Prevent) by his school because his beliefs were not left enough. And our lovely government are going to roll out training for teachers specifically to help them spot non-left views! Of course they say they will train teachers to spot extreme right views, but if you are interested I can tell you what views my boy was reported for. In case you don't know, around 8000 referrals are made to Prevent each year, the majority of them schoolchildren. And the largest type of referral is for far right ideaology. And just to top off my winge about the education system; of those Prevent referrals 83% are deemed not to warrant any actual intervention - which of course sort of confirms that schools are seeing extreme radicalisation even when it doesn't exist. Or to put it another way, they are guilty of viewing everyone who doesn't see the world the way they do as a Nazi.

Had too much fun in Wadebridge and surrounding areas in the past and got banned from a few establishments. One banned me and others twice!

Sort of answered my own question there, by getting some spanners out and taking the fittings apart. Turns out one end is 3/8" BSP and the other (grab) end is 1/2" BSP. I think. And, in case it helps someone else, these fittings are all female; at one end (bottom of the picture) on mine there's a male to male adapter. Ordered some stuff. See if it fits.

Watch you don’t get picked up by the site bitch lad, mind you it’s a selective thing. Conversation has moved on since then.
