Probably why I have not being finding much information on my searches:confused1:..

Maybe I should rethink.. the French thing... To be honest I have no experience of the trucks but never very impressed with the cars..

We need another 3.5 tonner. I know the 3.5 ton question is asked lots but I can't remember any mention of the VW grafter. Any one used one in arb? I have had transits and just don't feel they are truck enough.. We have an izusu which is good but parts expensive and we have had issues getting simple bits when they break. Also not much choice on used market. I imagine similar things with Mitzy and Nissan? Sprinters look OK but expensive. Iveco, we really like our 6 tonner, but spent a fortune on our (low milage) 3.5 tonner.. We have a LR130 - and that does what it needs to but one is enough. Don't like LDV's, or anything french.. We have 10 inch chippers so needs to tow 2.2 tons...

Are TATA not just going to move the factory to India, and make them for the Indian market? I don't expect they are so worried about emissions and safety.. With a cheaper work force it might still be economic and TATA Defenders would be a great vehicle if affordable for much of the developing world.. They are planning to build the replacement in India I believe..

We are still expanding and need good people.

Get the dealers out to demo them.. We chose the Vermeer 230 xl over the bandit. Been pretty happy with it ..

That was what I thought but not what our supplier told us.. He could always be lying and just charging us an extra few pence a litre...

There is a difficult line to tread between conservation and access. If people don't see the trees then they won't bother protecting them. Your request for money and the sensationalist language used and the obvious personal issues you have with the initial person who "leaked" the locations just doesn't sound right and reading the pages made me feel it was a personal vendetta against an individual. I might be wrong but that is how it came across.. To be honest I agree with your sentiment and it would be best to keep some sites hidden and access restricted simply due to people not knowing they exist. But if I was in the area I would want to trek into the woods to find these trees, just as you do.

What do you want to achieve? Not sharing the locations is to restrict the visitors who are causing damage.... Limiting access, whatever.. You don't want folk trampling the forest, fair enough. I think education would be a better use of funds then chasing down people posting tree locations on the internet. Restricting access may be necessary in my opinion, as is the use of honey pot locations etc..

I was being factitious.. But it does look rather arrogant/conceited, to have pics of you up next to redwoods while advocating restricting access to others.

It does NOT need to be approved, the council needs to be given 6 weeks notice. If they don't like it they can stick a TPO on it. Annoys me the number of TO's who think they can approve works in conservation areas without TPOing a tree...

I think I understand the issue, you want to stop people getting up close to the redwoods like this.... Possibly sounds a little hypocritical.? While I agree protection might be needed I think your cash would be better spent in education rather then tracking down individuals posting the locations. Possibly a few fences round the trees with some information boards. Anyone who is willing to trek into the forest to see these trees is going to be predisposed to protecting them and are not causing intentional damage. They just don't know the consequences of there actions..

We have had this problem lots with our chippers, if there is a cold spell they clog up. We spent loads on winter additives last year and it didn't seem to help, we ran the chippers on white when cold last year as the issue of lost days was very frustrating. Using a different supplier it happened again earlier in the year when we had a cold spell. We have now switched to a more expensive red diesel that is apparently the same as white with a dye in it. I didn't even know that it was different but that is what the fuel place tell us.

Job done... But DON't tell the TO..

We will probably get loads of calls for rubbish clearance... Which I hate..

We did 200 odd... rubbish video but anything for a bit of facebook content....

At this age I don't think it matters. In fact at that age I don't think they should be at school anyway. But when they hit secondary school it is an issue and term time holidays should be avoided.

One week vacation a year may not affect Jimmy, it might even be positive for Jimmy. But 30 different kids off over 30 different weeks in the year would make it VERY difficult to teach a class to pass exams. This may be true and I certainly disagree with the excessive testing at primary age, but is there a better way to examine pupils?

It's not only the kids who get taken out that suffer, it's the whole class. If the teacher has to give special attention to help little SteveyA out then they have less time to give to the other class. Probably would not matter if it was only one or two children but if it was the norm it would make teaching even more difficult. It also would not work in the British school system, that has a fixed curriculum/syllabus with very little leeway. You might be surprised how much a teacher has to cover if they want the kids to pass the exams.

Taking your kids out of school in term time causes more work for the teachers. While at primary age it may not be important when they get to secondary it is more and more so. Teachers have a limited time to teach the syllabus and if your child misses classes then they may miss something that is the foundation for later work. The teacher then has to spend more time with your child or give extra work to help them them catch up. This may not be much if it is only one child, but if your whole classwais doing it it would become a right PITA. While I agree a good student on a fantastic tour is almost certainly likely to benefit them, taking a struggling student to Disney Land probably isn't going to give them any advantages and may push them back. The consequence of that is the teacher spending even more time on them and less on the rest of the class. So the whole class suffers due to the selfish behaviour of one individual in the class. I believe heads do have discretion to wave the fines if you really have no option, but if they do it once they are going to have to be able to defend their decision when others ask the same. Therefore it is simpler to have a blanket ban.. Speaking as an ex secondary school teacher and father of 4 who takes holidays in the school holidays....

Since I don't do any real work these days I was getting unfit.. Sign up for an event, preferably with someone else who is fitter. Then get on strava and you can compare your exercise with your friends. It can be quite motivating if you know active people.. I have signed up for the Vitruvian triathalon, 1900m swim - 85k bike - 21k run. Already half regretting it, but it does give focus....

Lot's of BS is BS..
