  8. My 35C14 does 17.8 mpg average over the last 6 months. Mainly town work. That's just under £200 a month. I love the really high cab height. The engine is quite (compared to a transit).

  11. Hi, Does anyone know where I can buy metal bird spikes cheaply! I find them to be extortionate given what it looks like to make them! Your help is much appreciated.

Just do it guys and gals... £150 all in.. and use it everytime! NEW BULLDOG EUROCLAMP EURO CLAMP WHEEL LOCK SOLD SECURE | eBay UK
  14. From Horticulture week: Brown-tail Moth alert aims to protect people and trees Friday, 13 May 2011 Be the first to comment Brown-tail moths emerging from a hedge have triggered a health warning to staff in a nearby office. Pest controllers warned people to be on the lookout for the moth, which can cause breathing problems, especially in asthma sufferers. Cleankill Pest Control was called after the moths were seen in offices in Portsmouth, echoing similar incidents in Croydon and Exeter. A pesticide barrier was used to stop the bugs crawling into the buildings or colonising other hedges and trees for the emerging moths to devour leaves. Cleankill managing director Paul Bates said: "We are getting more calls this year. We believe the unusually warm spring has contributed to the moths spreading. As well as a health hazard, they will strip a tree of foliage." Officials are dealing with outbreaks in five west London boroughs - Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith, Hounslow and Richmond - and in Pangbourne, West Berkshire. The caterpillar of the brown-tail moth is brown, has a dotted white line down each side and two distinctive red dots on the back of its tail It is a voracious eater of vegetation, especially in spring, and although it prefers hawthorn and blackberry, it will eat practically any type of tree or bush.
  15. The last couple of years it seems to go up and down in 3 week cycles... used to be 3 month cycles. Thats what happens when your self employed
  16. I email them in and it is considered the day they receive it as the day the clock starts... If it isn't on their system then I call them and confirm that they have received it. If they don't do their part that's their tough luck. I am so hardcore!!!

  19. Some people think that if they pay more they get a better job, certain companies charge premium prices and certain people pay premium prices. I wish I could do that, but there is still a recession of sorts, and I don't get the jobs if i charge too much. Don't forget, they want to make good TV and if it ain't shocking it ain't good! Also the TV crew would just say yes to anything and not question the prices, seeing as we're paying for it!!
