  1. Meindl Woodwalkers would be the better choice.
  2. Bovey to you is a short distance in travel terms (altho Ashburton and Totnes aren't exactly next to each other). If someone needs to start out at 4am to be with you at a reasonable time i.e. 8-9am so what? Get a fixed price for the job anyway, not day rate.
  3. Second that; he's got a cherry picker.
  4. The only notes I could make quickly enough whilst watching it, talking to my better half and ignoring the 'phone! Channel 4 26/01/2015 20:00 Dispatches; The Great Car Con – Diesel. Dispatches says: “mpg ~22% less than official” Me says: “so it is for petrol doh” Dispatches says: “22 x PM; 4 x NOx” Me says: Would channel 4 please quantify what proportion of those extra PMs are in the 3 size classes namely ultrafines <3(2.5) micron (PM3), mid PM5 micron and coarse PM10??? Huh?! Nah, didn’t think you could NOx; lifetime analysis, de-nox catalysts ??? DPF ? Lifecycle analysis of NOx please, not just tailpipe / local. It's what the NO does in the atmosphere / troposphere later that matters too... Dispatches says: “official mpg figures…” Me says: “absolutely no mention of gasoline powered vehicle official mpg figures” Dispatches says: “Particulate matter…” Me says: Asthma is initially worsened by PM 5s and smaller (emitted by petro and LPG) not PM10 from older compression ignition. Dispatches says: “… Boris Johnson… wants to reduce NOx…! Me says: So what you gonna do BJ? Go back to SI units chucking out H2S, CO, etc etc; completely unbalanced arguments…
  5. FISA's days are numbered so hold on to your horses! Corrupt organisation in serious financial and organisational trouble. FCA best to contact for balanced and accurate comments.
  6. Yep, typical journalism - full of emotionally charged BS.
  7. This program will no doubt make my blood boil so I'm ready to give Channel 4 some educated feedback and ready at the keyboard to write my counter-argument backed by 13+ years in the diesel research industry. For now though, dont fall for the imminent media attack; the Gov did NOT push the "dash for diesel" !!!
  8. Mindless comment that takes no account of each individual setup i.e vehicle, trailer req'd? etc.
  9. ditto, after that £1/mile
  10. Love it Q: Does wooden furniture have to be varnished / oiled etc or can it be left naked?
  11. You mean south east, sure as hell aint south west! NEVER dream of climbing! That's about the long and short of it. Grant funding makes a very uneven playing field though imo.
  12. Another tear in Sawtrolls bottle
  13. Depends if you're short or tall?
  14. Obviously not; looked like one his many tractors !!
  15. It will seem to get better but then will get bad again; worse than before.
  16. Perhaps regional. Last year (2013) one co in PLY out of seven installed over 1000 stoves; in 2014 it plummeted to 25!
  17. Not working for Dunner are ya?!
  18. Thanks Sorry can't delete thread and found answer myself; 1.12 m3/t
  19. I meant the the Husky 390 !!! Had one, parted with it. Replaced with MS460; not quite as much power but miles lighter and nicer to use.
  20. Do they need to be Grand Fir Gun Barrel straight or are wobbles acceptable?
  21. 390; horrible boat anchor of a saw.
  22. Definately the 461.
