No he isn't, we in the trade fully understood (Well at least I did )

I really cannot argue with that

I guess I'm lucky in that I could not give a toss what anyone thinks on the subject of one handing a saw. Sure I get that if they were banned and their production ended I would be pretty pissed. I use my 020 more one handed than not, but after 25 years of climbing and never having had a saw cut, I kinda feel I've earned the right to do things my way. My son is 20 and just getting into climbing, if I catch him one handing he will get a major bollocking, but in time he will earn the right to do things his way. IMO, we each need to learn our limits and work within them and any smart arse who feels he knows it all and can dictate to others, is not going to get a second of my time, I will not be reading the "blog".

investment against return scale for wood processing
skyhuck replied to flatyre's topic in Firewood forum
He's doing better than me, when I started I had a new saw and new van, I now have an old saw and an old van -
Its his turn with the lap top, Doris in room 15 gets it next

He was a Tory when he won with the seat, he was an independent when he lost it, do you actually understand the difference? He won before the referendum, he was open about voting "out" the majority of his constituents voted to remain. If he had won that would have been a real coup, his losing was no surprise, IMO. The way you and the media try to make hay from every single twist and turn of the political world is pretty pathetic. Brexit will happen, probable not in a way we can yet see, but it will happen. I personally still think the EU as we currently see it will implode, make our exit pretty simple

Petrol v diesel long and short term costs...

Didn't work on cars (they have pretty big engines) if you don't believe me ask Volkswagen -
Petrol v diesel long and short term costs...
skyhuck replied to Ty Korrigan's topic in Large equipment
With the new thoughts on diesel engines suggesting they are very bad for us and the environment. Are we going to see large tractors etc with petrol engines? If so there will presumably need to be "red" petrol for farmers, plant, etc. So in the long run we could end up benefiting, as we will have rebated fuel for our saws, who knows maybe even Aspen will qualify? -
Soot is not a problem, its tar you need to worry about.

I can never get my head round why we are expected to pay for the privilege of giving our hard earned to suppliers:confused1: I wonder why Tesco have not started charging for entry to their stores? they are clearly missing a trick:001_rolleyes:

I find that very hard to believe, they must be in a very big way, as business rates can only go back 12months.

Yep and Landrover-Jaguar (also TATA) are talking about making the UK the site of their new battery car factory, possibly 30K jobs

An area that voted 75% (if my memory serves) for remain votes for a pro-remain candidate and that suggests the brexit is in jeopardy You guys just never give up

When you make a claim your insurer will ask if you are VAT registered, if you are they will expect you to claim it back, so won't pay it.

Green Ash burns better than all other green timbers, but once seasoned its not the best, seasoned Beech will make green Ash look pretty crap, as others have said if your stuck green Ash will get you warm. I have in the past burned Ash the same day it was felled (winter felled), but I did end up having a chimney fire My advice would be to try and get organised and burn dry wood, once you get in front, you will have a better fire and burn less timber for more heat

I was told they are trained, many are retired copper, apparently.
-
I got pulled the other night, I'd had few, this female copper asked me to get out the car, when I did she said "your staggering". I replied "your not bad yourself darling"

The police speed camera vans are maned by volunteers. There is far to much emphasis on speed and not enough on all the other poor driving, imo.
