  1. Those thigh length boots are all the rage in a America, some people still swear by them 🙄
  2. There’s other tomograms than picus but they all basically do the same thing. Nothing else out there that I’m aware of. There was thermal imagine quite a few years back but that just turned out to be a big scam. not always necessary to do multiple tests, depends on the circumstances
  3. As I said, didnt like them at all and couldnt wait to swap them over to the short gaffs.
  4. Yep exactly what Pete said. The single thing I found they excelled on was penetrating through Ivy due to the angle.
  5. When they first came out the euro gaffs were pretty much default, had to special order regular gaffs.
  6. My first pair had the euro gaffs, horrendous things! Tried and tried to get used to them but gave up and bought the short gaffs. Can't see any reason for them to gaff out other than muscle memory. Perhaps you just need to learn to angle your legs slightly differently.
  7. Short spikes are better. What spurs did you have before? A slight different angle can really throw off your muscle memory but you WILL adjust. How long have you been persevering?
  8. Still got 1000 rolls in the loft left over from first lockdown
  9. Brain power dropped among over-50s during Covid-19 pandemic, study shows APPLE.NEWS Cognitive skills, such as memory, waned - possibly linked to stress, loneliness and alcohol, study shows.
  10. Rain all night and apparently it’s chaos here again judging by posts in the local Facebook group. Certainly not as bad as the other week and for the most part people are just being hysterical. Roads are closed, schools are closing etc etc. if there’s one thing the nation learned exceptionally well from covid it’s how to be as lazy as possible, and how it’s acceptable to cower under a rock at the first sign of trouble or hardship. anyway, before the electricity goes out I must go and make myself a hot chocolate and snuggle under my blanket
  11. I’d say virtually zero chance due to its location. If it were in open ground and you dig it up with a mini digger and a massive rootball then it might have had a chance
  12. Yes you're not supposed to just turn up, that was one of the reasons I made the directory a premium feature in the first place in order to cut down on it being abused. Obviously need to clamp it down a bit tighter.
  13. An update on the tip site directory. We now have over 1500 sites listed that offer a financial incentive for using them. Just a reminder, keep an eye out for the grey pins! In total there are now over 13,500 sites throughout the UK to choose from.
  14. 1 large branch? £2500 does seem a bit excessive. Got pics?
  15. Hmmm not sure. We took the missus's car off the road during covid and we've been a 1 car family ever since. Getting to the point now with the shop that a second car would be useful again though. I'd probably say at this point it wouldn't be electric.
  16. I think it was the standard rwd we put a deposit on, can’t remember now
  17. Which model did you get? Bet the acceleration is an improvement on what you had before! I had one on pre-order back in 2020, then covid hit so I cancelled due to the uncertainty
  18. Mark and Dan nailed it really. Its all about refining the hitch. Even just making the legs a tad shorter (by a miniscule amount) might fix the problem, although you might then find the hitch doesn't self tend as well in other circumstances where you do want it to. Theres worse problems to be have to be honest.
  19. Im sure the cider survived! I'll double check with our neighbour though as we rely on him for our vinegar!
  20. Probably have more luck at https://arboristsite.co.uk as this forum is uk based. Some regional knowledge will probably be helpful, specially with the lack of leaves
