  1. That'll look great after a couple of hours work with green spray paint.
  2. A minor tweak suggestion then... Could the asset value be shown in a determined currency rather than as a bald number? Our European mainland colleagues would probably like to show Euros for example. Jon
  3. As chip is organic it rots so perhaps re-lay the paths annually, shovelling the old stuff straight onto the beds?
  4. Frightened you might trip over a bit of Sellotape were they? On THEIR premises... Heaven forbid.
  5. ...Forester...?
  6. Fair points there, especially re the bike shop cardboard. Shame about Curry's though; some of their TVs will use as much as a medium-sized bike!
  7. Have you been round the back of your local supermarket (cardboard)?
  8. Love the shot of the guy balancing that pop on one hand!
  9. How kind of you! I'll say yes. If someone else is keen I'm happy to share - one apiece. Cheers Al. Jon
  10. Planting things over corpses to feed them isn't a new concept: I've heard lore concerning planting roses over a fish and something else over a sheep! So I suppose a human corpse could provide some nutrient but what would it be by the time the roots reached it? As for burying someone in the foetal position; great. Cemeteries are overcrowded with stretched out folk so you could really cram them in!
  11. I wonder if it was this stuff. It's been mentioned on here before. ecosheet :: Home
  12. This is good to see; top job.
  13. Great effort there in Wales. 11 years ago a good friend of ours, a farm manager, was killed also on his farm: he left a mum and three. The support then helped enormously and the farming community is very good at rallying round. Best of luck to the bereaved family for the future.
  14. :congrats: Now go and sort those quotes! Jon
  15. Steve, I'll request that the stem's saved for me if I'm not too late. Jon ...it hasn't gone: I'll collect it tomorrow.
  16. How important is it to be seasoned Steve? I know of a small one that is about to be felled if it hasn't gone through the chipper today. Jon
  17. Beau, that looks fantastic. I really need to keep the missus away from pics like these!
  18. The wood dry isn't as soft as you think. It's Magnolia family btw but referred to in the States as Rainbow Poplar. Not being flash; I know a bit about it as I lost a 45' specimen - the best tree in the garden - last winter. It didn't go to waste; Steve the 7th Devil has it!
  19. Wouldn't you take a receipt or other proof of sale? As long as you send off the seller portion of the V5 I don't see a problem.
  20. I should have said I was referring to logs, not chip: the shovel works OK with chip on a ridged floor but it's a horror to use on logs that are on a ridged floor.
  21. Another vote for the Loadhandler here. I don't use mine as much as I should. Sure, material catches on the wheel arches but handballing out 20% rather than 100% has to be a bonus. A possible alternative if you have a flat floor and not a ridged one is a corn shovel. The plastic ones cost £25-30 and really shift stuff.
  22. My line of thinking exactly. The officialese trotted out came from Barrow Borough Council according to the report, not the HSE. Like you I suspect the real H&S people would consider that risk mitigation had been done, alternatives considered (and tried) and that the task had a proven track record of safe operation.
  23. Only if the owner of the vehicle is paying for the tax rather than the reg keeper, which would be unusual I'd have thought. But what's the trouble you foresee? If the person/company refunded is different to the person paying for the tax in the first place that's a matter for them - nothing to do with DVLA.
  24. But if the car's been badly damaged since the MOT was issued you can still get the tax disc. If the insurance expires before the tax expires the tax is still valid. That's why I said the RFL (Road Fund Licence) has nothing to do with the condition of the vehicle or the insurance status.
