It's not so much our computer scientists, (irrespective of their name or immigration status), as the big tech American companies that they'll work for, that I worry about. Do you trust them to put the safety of ordinary hardworking people just trying to get on in life, above profit? I don't.

A very good friend of mine is a very keen chainsaw expert and enthusiast. I would like to source an Alpina A120 for him and - not knowing much of anything about chainsaws - I have no idea where to start. I’d be very grateful indeed for any help or information on where and how to acquire one. Many thanks. Gavin Acheson.

please post a photo. If you want everything as original spec that's fine, but if you are happy to go off piste, you can make Vermiculte panels fit anywhere. A lot of modern stoves have Vermiculte top baffles as well as the sides. I use trial and error and pieces of cardboard to make a template for the vermiculite.

Ah, the slippery slope gambit! All...are you sure? 😕

Morning, out early to look at work before starting. Rains just come on, geese are flying for first time over head, so far I’ve found some fence and pushed a gate off its hinges and here comes the monsoon!😂

Morning, Im looking to bulk buy a large quantity of oak milled boards (40+ boards with ongoing supply) with 1 or 2 live edges. They need to be seasoned and between 300-1000mm wide. I'm not worried about length as i'll be cutting them down but ideally over 1m long. Width wants to be 30-40mm thick. Id also purchase any walnut if people have some available. Id be glad to hear from anyone who has timber to offer, or contacts that could help. Photos to give an idea of what i'm looking for.

Hi I'm a forestry worker based in Cornwall looking for some weekend work , wondering if anybody on here has any or will no anybody who does ? Got experience in most aspects of forestry and got tickets aswell . Cheers tom

Climber Required. Self employed or PAYE. Good crew. Good hours. We have experienced staff so not big climbs all day every day Actual pay depends on how much you can take off the manager's plate. From ordering new parts for the saws to deciding who does what. Plenty of time on the ground mentoring newly qualified staff. Avant GRCS. Some domestic work during quiet months. Mostly National Trust, woodland work or development sites outside of nesting. www.treescapeoxford.co.uk [email protected] 07834811239
