  1. Just found the link British Waterways - Surplus Grass Ground Maintenance Equipment - GoIndustry DoveBid
  2. I just wiped mine:001_smile:
  3. Just been informed that all of BW equipment is coming up for sale in the near future. Tracked chippers, diggers, saws etc due to a change in policy. Could be some good stuff.
  4. That's saved me watchin' TV:001_smile: It was a plane then. Would that be in one of the London parks?
  5. I remember looking at the label on my last pair and it stated a max of twenty washes and then to throw them away!
  6. This means I've got to sit watching ITV for the rest of the night:001_smile:
  7. I saw that but thought it was on a horse chestnut.
  8. Went through a stage of hating it; bag of wind etc but my kids got totally into it and I went back to my childhood team of Wolves. Many a heartbreak season and just a bit of nailbiting:001_smile:
  9. They don't look that good for timber to me. Ring 'em up and sell the firewood.
  10. Talk to the crane hire company. They know about these things:001_smile:
  11. A mate and myself have some we use on enduro bikes. Mine leaked from the off and my mate's don't work either.
  12. Saw got stuck in backcut as tree dropped back. You've started to make another cut with other saw and the tree (ash) 'barber chairs' flicking out original saw bending bar?
  13. Hmm....looking more like Eleagnus than pear. This is the last one I did which I'm sure was pear:blushing: Thanks lads
  14. I'll look forward to a definite ID then:thumbup1:
  15. Looks like A. flava grafted onto hippocastanum. A flava is North American buckeye with five leaflets.
  16. A nice unusual hedge: Tsuga heterophylla.
  17. Only if England was ever joined to Chile:001_smile: Is Whitby jet fossilised resin?
  18. He's got a chain that's hanging off....never the best for ease of sharpening and the wheel is touching the cutter as it's going around the nose. That must make the wrong angle?
  19. You often see A.platanoides showing colour like that during the summer and it always seems to be associated with some kind of stress. Wonder if that's the case here?
  20. So is Armillaria derived from the Germanic pronunciation I wonder? Another word often wrongly attributed is posh: port out, starboard home from the days of ship passage to India. In fact it's an old word to describe a 'dandy' or well dressed man.
  21. Some bikes esp. older ones are being damaged by the addition of ethanol in petrol. I read this week that the US is currently diverting 40% of its corn crop into ethanol production and, even if that figure was raised to 100%, then it would still be less than 5% of their needs. Additionally, the cost in fossil fuels to manufacture 'bio' fuels negates any supposed 'green' benefits. Nations and politicians are jumping onto the 'green bandwagon' as an excuse to raise taxes and further their careers! Much as I'd like to see 'green' alternatives it ain't going to happen.
  22. Sh1t Old English scitte ‘diarrhoea’, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch schijten, German scheissen (verb). The term was originally neutral and used without vulgar connotation Cos' I had nothing better to do:001_smile: From the OED:
