  1. Nope. Seeing a lot around here in SE. Bit later but possibly the hot spell delayed them? K
  2. Lockdown Fails, currently seen 3 arrests by BTP this week for not wearing masks. Bus driver kick two skaters off bus for getting on without masks. With A0 size signs at every bus stop or train entrance saying 'you cannot use public transport without a mask' are these people **** stupid or just pushing their luck? K
  3. By staged i mean work out where yr digging round it and if there are significant root extensions - cut/dig a year or two before moving. Sometimes severing one side one year and other side next year, this gives less shock to the tree. Mulching after replant is important- but mostly retaining and protecting as much fine root as possible, so that the tree can draw water n nutrients as quick as possible. Pruning branches a year or two before moving is better than after if it needs to fit a certain spot. Plus the orientation of the tree to North must be the same. K
  4. God, people !! Alien Invasive Specis list........ Where! And presumably its grown to some size to require work - so why wasnt it used as action before ? You couldnt make it up!! K ( oh.... They did..... Didn't they ?)
  5. Oddly, i didnt see the ad calling for ' Proud heavy drinking fat blokes from Southend with poor parenting skills and no bladder control ( and who would shit themselves at the first mortar bomb on a real battlefield) to protect inanimate objects with names they cannot spell'........

  19. I'D give you a quid for each brain cell you counted there, wouldn't cost more than a weeks wage. K
  20. Try dressing it with a file which is hardener than the blade 'should' be , if it just rings off n don't remove metal, that's too hard fr a chipper blade. K
  21. Unless yr Spartacus, of course, wine was not as strong in those days ? K

  24. Yup.. Way too hard ? K
