  1. The heaviest I’ve weighed in was winter felled beech chip (surprisingly), 8m3 (full 12ft Ifor tipper) 4500kg load! So 560kg per m3 it definitely felt heavy towing too
  2. Just charge for your travel time, all of it or over 1/2hour or similar no one honestly expects people to travel for free, but plenty are happy, like your guy, that you’re not charging
  3. Just stand your ground then, definitely don’t eat humble pie as you put it. He’s nothing to do with you, not your father in law make anyone that questions your behavior about this feel like a f-kin imbecile
  4. Fair enough doing a mates rates job but next time grow a pair and tell the father in law to f-off as soon as he started “helping” your work site, your rules
  5. What’s the winch? Tirfor style, capstan, hydraulic?
  6. I just fail to see the relevance of you spending nearly a couple hundred quid at other businesses and then being grumpy that a charity that hasn’t benefited of your spending “want” you to pay to park in their parking area where you want to park?
  7. Ok, but did you spend two hundred with that charity?
  8. anyone got a really big rolling eyes emoji I can use?
  9. Replying to you isn’t high up on my to do list What I said is my answer, shouldn't really need elaboration? You just came up with another excuse/tried to not make it your responsibility with the MP comment MPS are just attention seeking narcissists, once the town starts to recover they’ll get on board, not before though My belief is regular people really can make a difference. You want your town thriving again, move back, employ some local lads doing your drain gig, they rent a room/pad locally, they buy pints in the pub, publican employs an extra barmaid, the barmaid and your lads use the local shop, local shop does better etc etc etc Similarly, want to support British farming/ industry? But British, buy local, boycott foreign stuff. Yes it’ll be an expensive time ahead, or living in a shithole for a while, but slowly the town would pick up again likewise British produce Yeah I may be naive, but better to stick by your principles than complaining, doing nothing, expecting others to fix it whilst being unwittingly part of the problem FWIW, I don’t want to move to your shithole with you, why would I? but I do support the local produce (food particularly) comment above - it is expensive but better than being a hypocrite
  10. Move back support the local economy set an example towns don’t become dilapidated cesspits because too many people want to live there and spend too much money

    The uk market baffles me at times, companies needing cash up front for relatively small expenses, subbies wanting paid first even though they may be shite, sounds a bit like I’d imagine the deprived areas in America to be! Here, it’s generally the rule that private individuals get 10 days to pay, companies 30, so even if you’ve got poor cash flow, you should be paid by the customer before needing to pay for hired in services
  12. I’ve always called it the donkeys dick, but not gonna google that for confirmation 😂 anchor or fisherman’s for carabiners and barrel for a stopper knot
  13. Nah, general opinion is you’re pretty thick 8 vs 2 on echo vs stihl
  14. I liked the 150, bit lackluster performance but quite an ok pruning saw, went through two of them then got the echo, revolutionary wee saw! Definitely in the top 5 saws released the past 10-15years, it’s what the 150 should have been. got it with the echo carving bar (tes-c) which is a rebadged tsumari I believe No problems with it, no retuning, and I don’t look after my saws/do maintenance tbh but do run aspen
