It was aimed at you Mick, I should have tagged you.

I know, but I was too busy spooning caviar down my cakehole and slurping the finest wines known to humanity using the money that  the dismantling paid me to bother with that.

I know you’ve sent decent stuff offsite for milling before.

 

No interest in logs?

 

It’s not a real earner for me, but useful for filling gaps in the winter/foul weather.
