Hi Craig- I am still determined to get one of these cookers now we are renovating our kitchen! Did you find it easy to use and were there only two electric hobs? 

there was only 1 electric hob the other two ran off the fire, the electric ring was slow and expensive to use, i mounted a counter top two ring halogen over the top of it 

so its not type approved by merlo but nothing wrong with fitting it as long as you write your own declaration of conformity, CE standard ect and have manufactures insurance?

Thought 608 was going on about chain shot which doesn't apply as the chain speed is too low 

theres only the small point that there not type approved and they have to override some safeties' to work, the magni and the new larger merlos are, which is a problem when they fall over.

i would put a figure 8 in with the blakes as it only has quite a small contact area and if used in anger on long runs that your talking of could easily weld on

Can I ask what is the reason behind the poll. 

 

Thanks 

well guessing that she works for a recruitment agency its free research on staffing demographics and 40 years climbing makes you, as mike said, work smarter and not as often

two bed bungalow water only, septic tank and soak away discounts £420 

does any one know how the water companies work out what we pay?  the bill says 'charge per £ of RV'  next door is 4 bands higher in rateable value, much bigger house pays £40 less or have i got the wrong end of the stick as the more i look the less sense it makes

                   Are chain throw injuries a common thing?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nope,  don't happen unless your using a timber harvester

i have to agree to the overall sentiment, that the data is flawed, it doesn't drill down deep enough to be of use. they don't say diy or pro, and pro shouldn't be 10 years experience of picking up a saw a couple of times a year, were they wearing PPE , had they done a course or update in the last 5 years, of the few chainsaw accidents I've seen in the last 40 years all were user error. you can never engineer out the ingenuity of stupid

Do you still have this? 

gone to the isle of white

not a great plan imho, if people who dont have a chipper, dont know how to cut, present and stack for one, they also have great expectations of how fast the tangled pile of garden rubbish and wet leaves etc, will be chipped and i think  it would be classed as waste transfer.

slightly off thread, at night when we don't need as much electricity, make all the north see wind farm produce hydrogen, by electrolysis, pump it into the natural gas field for storage, change the jets in the gas generators, not quite that simple I know, but i like the idea.

And the fact that a climber Has told you it’s lasted 12 years and is breathable isnt good enough? 

 

I give up ?

 

I've had some long sleeve which are now short sleeve pfanner  zip up  tops over 14 years, still go to shirts, only trouble is they have started shrinking  

six years isn't long enough really,  200k or 500k doesn't matter what's the bottom line? 3 to 4 years consistent top and bottom lines are better than rapidly expanding turnover. what percentage return customers do you maintain? i would think that you would be classed as 'key personal' so the only way is through a work out 1-3 years with targets and split payments  

run the ac on full heat and get the inside cooking 180c, gas mark 6,  to burn off any mould takes about ten mimutes

The one I looked at was sent to a company called crash data, it can't be repaired. New one is £750, but none available.

semi conductor shortage, does that include coding to the van? the local fiat dealer is £126/hr!!!!!

Yep, it's all sorts things. I looked at a van recently, t"was tidy apart from the airbag light being on, airbag ecu knackered. Dealer said he would sort it in the next day or two... until he found out there are none available due to Covid.

 

A mate of mine has got a small extension to build, can't get the bricks he needs. You got it, due to Covid.

My vans airbag ecu went, new one on back order no idea when and £240, ebay repair £100 3 days

dads got one similar, haven't read all the posts, to cold start, the bottom of the stop rod, its connected to a leaver on the side of the block, pull it out and it clicks anti clock wise to overfuel, knocks off when started 

thought it was going to be stronger
