Bloody hell. Wick farmer hasn't had that aggro; he found a land agent to act in his interests who has been brilliant. Care to elaborate at all on 'plenty more to come for the Wick area' or is that not suitable info for here?
-
My humblest apologies; I stand corrected Gloria you wonderful machine you 🤩 You sound like you still have her (again)...?
-
Wick. It's a switching station built to receive wind generated power undersea from Shetland. To be fair the financial side of things hasn't been ungenerous to the farmer although the farming became a nightmare for a couple of years. Loss of the fields meant that the same stock was grazing less land which caused land management issues and two temporary access roads divvied the place up horribly affecting all 600+ acres of the farm
-
Ah a tear in the eye there for Gloria I've never rubbished for the Greenmech machines as I've never used one. I acknowledge that they are bigger and more capable than the M300 though; 195kg did yours weigh with 18hp engine I think? The M300 is 145-150kg, 14hp engine.

@htb - I know a farmer who would agree with you. A couple of his best fields in the pics thank you SSEN. The building is 75m long, 25m tall. Explosives were used to bury it 4m into the ground to reduce the environmental impact 🤣
-
I'm on my second M300; bought the first one from Vermeer in 2012, this one from Global. I've never had a significant issue with dealers or machines but I don't rag the machine day after day. Current machine was new 2017 and is still spot on. There will always be the mini chipper moaners but they suit some better than others. Those in the industry I've spoken to about Jo Beau all have a high regard for them.

You can insert sideways, yes
-
The excuse for that is to cut down emissions for the residents isn't it? The fumes from all those EVs must be deadly
-
And the practice has paid off!

Please don't spoil our grump with logical explanations
-
Oh yes - you're onto a winner there. I'm not sure if I've dreamt this or not 😁 but I have a vision in my mind of turning needless temporary lights away from the road one night... 🤔

A couple of months back I mad the huge mistake of attempting to use a self checkout at Tescos. It took me 10 minutes and two staff members helping me to pay for two packs of sandwiches and a packet of crisps. 10 seconds - or less - for a human to run them over a scanner and display the price for me to tap my card...

Grumpy Old Man moans... where to start? How about the appalling use (misuse) of Road Closed signs? You cannot trust them either way and if they're legitimate you can't tell what road they're referring to. My starter for 10...

This thread will either die quickly in a sea of rolling eyes or it'll go on and on and on and on...

Raynaud's and Carpal Tunnel are linked?
-
What an innings. You have to hand it to the guy, that was tremendous batting. Not so tremendous a performance from England's batting to put it extremely mildly.
-
But it's Bazball! It has to look good. That Perth pitch looks an absolute horror for batting; I hope Smith's elbow stays sore! Even allowing for the pitch surely Aus have got the game sewn up; they have three days to score 200 runs

can anyone mill me some 140mm beech squares???

Good to see you back here Steve and very good to see you're still in the woodworking business; I have in mind the woes Covid caused you. Jon -
I second that; that RHS book is comprehensive yet easy to understand with loads of pics and diagrams
-
What a colour - so dark. Well done getting it set; was that after a re-boil?
-
Not that I say this as fact but reducing the volume would concentrate the pectin so that could be the explanation for reduction being successful in initiating setting
-
May be worth re-boiling - and reducing - with added lemon juice and another half of a green apple. Mine took ages to set. The recipe said 15-20mins rolling boil; it probably had 45 by the time I got the volume down sufficiently and a set.
-
My Muslim did a good job 🤣 The first little batch. Boy I had to reduce it to get it to set. Less sugar next time; it's too sweet
-
£45 a pair from the one retail outlet I found

I have a couple of kilos to deal with tomorrow - they'll make jelly - with another kilo of less ripe ones bletting. Should be a laugh; me and cooking go together like strawberries and axle grease.
