I think most of this conversation has been around the Apple version; are you proposing to charge for the Android one? £3.99, £4.99, £7.99.... for a database that takes up no space, can be held up to the specimen in the field and allows a positive ID to the client there and then the cost is pennies and incredibly good value (as well as tax deductible of course if a few quid really mean that much to someone).

I can't see it happening unless, as said earlier, you both admit the offence and accept the Caution. As for coming back to bite you Cautions have a lifespan; a few years ago they were redundant for the purpose of later proceedings after 5 years though it's possible you may have needed to apply for it to happen. That function probably came from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act which also operates a complicated system of lifespans for actual convictions, making them irrelevant - 'spent' - for court purposes after x, y or z years.

Time for a new solicitor! No offence intended re the Whispers comment jose but you know how things get changed in the telling.
-
Jeez Mark - 2 years?! Anyone would think you'd dropped 5 floors! Sorry to hear it's going to take so long but grin and bear and the best of luck for a smooth, if not rapid, recovery. Jon

Agree with the above. A Caution cannot be issued to an adult without an admission of guilt. Such an admission should be recorded in writing by the investigating authority, signed of course by the alleged offender to the effect that he both admits the offence and accepts the Caution. Definitely definitely engage a suitably qualified solicitor. Also be prepared to engage a techie (if needed) to trace and preserve the web searches that showed 'no tree restrictions'. The only small caveat is that all of the original post is true and hasn't been subject to Chinese Whispers.

I pass on both; tell us the bird at least!
-
And that's the point. If owners don't list their kit there is virtually no chance of later retrieval: by listing it there is a chance, not only of retrieval of their property but conviction of thieves and handlers. You can't prosecute for theft or handling if you can't show the goods are nicked!
-
Looks like Viburnum tinus; the leaves are opposite aren't they...?
-
Sorry I don't have any pics of either setup! Should do really; I'll try to remember next time I'm out with the big trailer.
-
The top half of a 40' Leyland produced one and a half trailers plus about 1/4 of a pickup of firewood (>3" like you though some bigger stuff went through the chipper to try and increase the wood:green ratio.
-
Your chipper does look a tad awkward to pull on ramps but my Jo Beau (145kg) is halfway up the ramps with my feet still on the ground. I then step up onto the trailer backwards and pull it the rest of the way up from there. I have the 8' folding ramps from The Ramp People.
-
Ah - the portable version. No idea if this will help but I have two options for chip and chipper transport. For small amounts I chip into the greedy-boarded Navara and put the chipper (Jo Beau M300) on a small Brenderup trailer that has a max load capacity of 400kg. That works well as the ramps are a snug fit between the sides of the chipper and the trailer and between back and front of trailer. For larger amounts I carry the chipper on the pickup and chip into an 8'x5' cage sided Brian James trailer with a trampoline side net clipped over the cages. That allows me to carry about 3m³ of chip as the trailer tailgate is only half height. Any ideas for you there or just one minute of your life you won't get back?!
-
Yep, that's the one I found; cheers.
-
Vesp, what's a TP100 chipper? The only one I can Google is a TPO chipper in which case you won't be in a position to tow a trailer unless you have a tractor and one trailer for both chipper and chip. The chipper mounted on the tractor would be too long for hitching the trailer beneath it for transport. I'm way off the mark I know but what is the mark?
-
Good shout. It looked familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it.
-
OK, not B.stenophylla 'cos of it's deciduousness and the fact that the leaves are about 3 times the size I thought they were.
-
Unusual as a tree but looks like Berberis stenophylla, a common shrub.
-
I've seen it written that you can kind of reboot the carb setting software by working the saw flat out in some big wood for about 5 minutes - really work it. Might at least be worth a go before taking it back.
-
Saw a swallow and a martin just outside Tiverton on Saturday; we've had a few brimstones for the last week or so here in Surrey. Bumble bees have been about in ones all through the winter - sadly. The dawn chorus is picking up but it's nothing like it was just 5 years ago ; so few birds these days.
-
SRMMIKE, as everyone rightly says bash it; your biggest mistake would be to go gently. The holly to the right would make a nicer feature tree than the shiny thing so perhaps cut the laurel down to ~6ft, then maintain it as a dense 8' shrub with the nicer holly above it..
-
Excellent AB; I've never had the pleasure of seeing them here.
-
It's a good bet being on a conifer. Potentially nasty.
-
You're probably right (pink heartwood) but in that condition it could be almost anything!
-
I had to hack one back hard when we moved into the house and every stem sprouted but it looked horrible; long weak whippy shoots going in every direction. I don't think coppicing will kill it but the regrowth may not please you. It certainly doesn't come back like a hazel.

On my Jo Beau I use an impact driver; it saves the bolt corners.
