I've had ATs and BFGs on Navaras and the BFGs last twice as long. £160 ea for BFGs sounds a great price.

Noting that the Hulk's suitable for rope up to 14mm dia, the size I use, I think it looks a lovely shiny toy. Therefore I'm tempted but I'll await serious and better informed comment. Some will obviously think it's over complicated but it's not, it's just flexible.

Hammond wasn't the only one who thought that was so 'to the best of their understanding' but I also saw a BBC News Channel report from a conference of ?Planning Officers; when the reporter asked 'is that cladding outlawed in this country?' not one of them put their hands up in agreement. However one said very carefully that his belief was that it couldn't be used as a simple matter of choice but if Planning made a case for it then it could be used. I've probably got a detail wrong there but the gist is certainly correct. Essentially then it would appear that the cladding can be used under a form of licence. What I haven't heard mention of is how many other buildings may have the same stuff on them...

Talk about a North/South divide. The pickup thermometer showed 35C near J6 of the M25 this afternoon (which is a total cheat) but this was the A19 this morning past Sunderland. The Tyne Tunnel almost to Thirsk was a horrendous drive. Why does Arbtalk rotate everything? It didn't used to happen...

Same here Alec; ours has been nicknamed locally Invisible Sam (Gyimah). Spends his days at Westminster it seems grooming his career, doesn't appear much in his constituency.

Unfinished removal surely, not a reduction.

I doubt any network is totally secure to the very determined and knowledgeable but the PNN network is used for inhouse confidential information and documents and I never heard of it being hacked etc. Every cop in the country has a PNN e-mail address.

The PNN e-mail network is secure - Police National Network.

That makes me wonder if the cage has been put there as reinforcement to span the wound and take the bending forces off it. A tad optimistic if so.

Thanks for the replies to my musing; glad I wasn't too wide of the mark! Shane; point totally taken re leaches!

I was told by a Stihl dealer a while ago that the nuts are intended for one time use; if you remove them for maintenance purposes new ones should go on as they operate along the lines of nylock nuts. Is this the case perhaps?

Great for pollinating insects and is famed for growing in crevices in walls and such niches.

Agreed it's good to see you on here again; I'm sure there's a silent majority enjoying the excellent pics and who says you must only post perfection?! -
Tree/shrub identification help please

What even for burning?!

There used to be a firewood guy from Tomatin posting on here; worth contacting him maybe? - 'Tomatin firewood'
-
Do you know why? Down here it's seen as the king of firewood; clients often want to keep it for that reason.

I agree it's a very good design but I'm afraid I don't miss it with the tripod ladders here. For that yew I'd have the tripod ladder back leg down the side of the tree and just work to my side. The biggest bonus of the Ankalad is the fact it is so stable with 4 feet instead of 3. You can lean forwards and sideways on it, not something to be done with a tripod ladder. If I had long hedges to cut on flat ground that were higher than one gang of a ladder I'd use the Ankalad. The fact is that, like most of us I guess, I get called to the awkward hedges - you know those lovely ones over gravel or flower beds!
-
If anyone is still using Ankalad - I'm not; I have 2 tripod ladders now - I have some new/barely used spares that are going in the skip if not wanted by someone. There are three extending legs, some brackets and an unopened bag of nuts and bolts. Free to the first taker though you may care to make a small donation to the forum... Cheers, Jon

The Magpie Moth I'd say, which is known for its variable markings and used to be bred for that purpose apparently. The caterpillars used to be regarded as a pest of gooseberries.

An encouraging step forwards; well done and thanks for the correction.
-
Thank you; much as I thought. So the main benefit is volume reduction as the shreddings are likely to be contaminated.
-
So no-one knows what to do with the shreddings...?
-
I totally see the benefits of being able to mash such waste material but what do you do with the product? Isn't it full of glass, plastic and metal, all in virtually particle sized fragments?
