  1. apple scab, as long as the apple isn't rotten you can still eat them, personally I would peel them first. https://www.rhs.org.uk/disease/apple-and-pear-scab
  2. When you can clearly witness what a government and its cohorts is willing to do to an entire country, It's not hard to imagine what they are prepared to commit on an individual.
  3. kids having kids, bad parenting, bad diet, polluted planet, no diagnosis required to claim benefits for it, no known medical test, people love to "pigeonhole" stuff, any variance in behavior has to be categorized, often wrongly. none of which helps genuine cases.
  4. maybe we should put it all be hind us now.
  5. yeah, seems to stuck in a rut now.
  6. And here in most of the uk we still rely on old bits of Victorian copper wire!

  9. well that's a relief, I never liked abba that much anyway edit, It's all back now, somebody owned up and rectified their cockup.
  10. bloody good job too, I get a dozen calls a week wanting me to have a smart meter for electricity, I don't need likewise for the water. that said,, I wouldn't trust the bastards not to.

  12. Water firms to impose surge pricing during heatwaves Smart meter trials will mean families pay more during summer or when hosepipes are banned Tim Sigsworth. Tom Haynes Money Reporter Related Topics Water and sanitation, Heatwave, Drought, Hosepipe bans 11 July 2025 9:02pm BST 2879 Gift this article free Water companies will use smart meters to increase prices in the summer, meaning customers will pay more during heatwaves. Surge pricing trials are being introduced for customers with smart water meters at 15 companies across the country. Under the pilot schemes, water costs either change depending on the time of year or become more expensive as customers use more. Ofwat, the industry regulator, said that the trials, planned for the next five years, would increase prices “when water is scarce” and could potentially be extended to all customers. The Government is backing a nationwide rollout of smart water meters in an attempt to reduce water consumption, which ministers believe could help prevent hosepipe bans and other water rationing.
  13. probably not, it's hard to climb when strapped in the vehicle.
  14. sometimes ya gotta have more than one try to get it right. a good tip,,, "never trust anything that bleeds for 3 days or more,, and doesn't die" but good luck.
  15. no, I had already apologized before you posted,, facts are important.
  16. I am aware if through hard use, and taking every bit of power from them, ie; using them until they stop, results in them not charging until they cool down. Lithium as you are no doubt aware react differently from the conventional lead acid type in the way they discharge, lead will progressively lose power as they get used, whereas lithium put out the same power until the very last moments and then die, I was advised to avoid letting them become completely flat for a couple of reasons, 1,it shortens their lifespan. and 2, the charger requires a level of remaining input to start the charge cycle.
  17. try to keep up mystic mick, done that already.
  18. no, It is I who should apologise, there have been a few posters lately who post a question, and ignore any replies, then post the same question a few days later, I mistakenly thought this post was a repeat of that. so in my limited opinion, it's quite common for mosses and lichens to form a harmless symbiotic relationship with trees and other plants. this looks at first glance to be one such example. once again, my apologies.
  19. I have a few things using lithium batteries,but not stihl versions, I haven't noticed any loss of power or run time in hot weather, but the cold certainly seems to affect them in that way. are they original genuine batteries or knock off copies?
  20. "AND,,, HERE WE GO AGAIN???" And what part of the world are you in mr Nutt?
  21. or possibly a very short natural remainder of a break off that's out of shot,take a look at some of the other cuts made by this guy. they are to say the least,, thought provoking. how about this one,,, 5.2 万次播放 · 31 个心情 | This ironwood tree is too hard | Stutteri Horskilde WWW.FACEBOOK.COM This ironwood tree is too hard.
