    Mot testing

    Love advisories on my Series II, keep them for hilarity purposes . Half stuff is irrelevant to the actual test, so I presume they are there to make Tester look diligent . Best one was ' Transmission oil leak ' which had not been noted on 4 previous tests , then saw he had underlined the ' Make' on the test form and winked at me K ( Usually on other cars I have taken in - given it a bloody thorough pressure wash underneath- changed wipers , checked all lights and it sails through )
  5. Is only eclipsed by military spending. The atrociousness of which is never revealed. I was reducing a Beech in North Yorks one year near a range and could hear ' Brrrrrrrrp brrrrrrp brrrrrrp' all morning. At lunch a squaddie wandered over hearing my saw, got talking an he was training on 50 Brownings, asked was it fun? He said " not after first box, yr wrists ache but we have nothing else to do" i was deer shooting my self at that time so asked how much a box " fink abat 600 quid mate" 😳 K ( they were at it all day !)

  21. @Paddy1000111 that is actually a good estimate and i bet a fvvk sight better that dotGov would have bothered to do @kevinjohnsonmbe there are many variables but dont forget leaf drop and the nitrogen cycle there, plus O2 output at night. Be good to see wot the hybrid Poplars do on that scale. ( wont ask @Big J wot his lovely Eucalypts score on this 😉 ) K

    Jokes???

    Thats on administrator only access 😆 K
  24. @Paddy1000111 its a convoluted chain. Co2 converted to sugars to drive leaf production girth increase and root development and al the other process involved. On an Oak of ten tonnes over a hundred years would venture its ten times the mass at the very least, conifers much less but then on a given land area you have many more of them. One for the number crunchers i think. K
  25. Its way more than a tonne of CO2 in hundred years, think the science of measuring this is quite new but worth following, but as ever its funding to R & D all of it. K
