Yup, what we had to do but I'd been following instructions from someone who wasn't the driver!
-
Sadly that is he: hey ho. It wasn't big enough for the couple of lumps of WRC I had for him last year either until the 064 got warmed up! Sorry about that but good luck. Jon

Have texted a guy I know a few miles from Caterham who has a Mog with crane trailer. Will let you know the result. Jon

A simple solution to Planning and Trees?
nepia replied to Andy Collins's topic in Business Management
Surely an easy way round that would be for there to be a condition of the licence stipulating that the contractor informs the LA of intended work (in very simplified form of course) at least ?2 weeks in advance. Any less notice would require 'urgency' justification. Revocation of the licence would be a powerful deterrent to abusing it but then you start to think of who has the power to revoke, appeal procedures, who runs the appeal system... = bureaucracy. But let's not let the negative get in the way. The idea is a sound one in principle. -
Thanks Rich. Slightly sadly I'll put my hands up to being a member there too. Had to laugh in a cruel way at the last post on that thread! Will print off the instructions and give it a go: if I mess it up I'll scream 'warranty' and get it sorted!
-
Rich - manual. I wonder how much difference BFG ATs make though. Jonathan - likewise; always try to keep moving and minimise the stop/start stuff. But my driving is little motorway and mostly just outside London and around Surrey so I may have misled you when I mentioned motorway driving. But at least the numbers are moving in the right direction. Cheers, Jon

You really are the planet's friend! My Navara has 1800 miles on it now and has just achieved the dizzy mpg heights of 28.8 according to the pooter and that's with Granny Jon driving (2000rpm exactly on motorway). How do you do it?! Do you think my mpg will climb much as the engine continues to ease?

I've got a King Cab too: you'd have to mount some mighty greedy boards to get a ton of dry wood in the back! You won't even get half a ton in without boards. Customers see the load, I give them the price, they pay. BTW I've got a used overrail liner with very slight damage you can have for nowt if you want it. I take it you're in the Swallowfield that's Reading way...? I'm in Caterham, E/Surrey. Jon

...which is just what the inscription in the photo means.

...or use them again for a second brew; they still have plenty to give.

Brilliant. Can't wait for the Petzl Tampax Vent to hit the market!

'Never let the truth get in the way of a good story'. The press and the truth are nothing to do with one another; accept that, whether you like it or not, and you'll sleep easier though I fully understand the affront you feel as you're personally involved. Ignore them - you won't change them because 'a gang of professional tree surgeons safely coppiced some potentially dangerous trees today' doesn't sell papers.

The object bottom left is your 'I'm an Arbtalker Get Me Out Of Here' button isn't it?
-
Thanks for that. Looking at Skyhuck's edit I take it you were a tad miffed!

More shrubs than trees, but can anyone help?
nepia replied to Rock Monkey's topic in Tree Identification pictures
There are pot wisterias available that don't do the twining thing to the same extent as most. But that's a strange form for a wisteria isn't it: I wonder if a large one's been cut right down there and what we see is stump regrowth. -
Would you care to share the problem out of interest? I was going to suggest that after three months without rain perhaps the air had been too dry for your purposes but that was pure hypothesis based on absolutely nothing. Jon
-
Quite right: make a call, explain that you can barely move and they'll fit you in today. Should cost ~£35, for which you'll be able to walk upright home again. All assuming, that is, that it's just muscles that need attention - probably is. Good luck.
-
I'm not offering medical advice here but who told you to bed it? Modern thinking with sore backs is to maintain gentle movement. Not saying it's wrong as I don't know the details but bedrest is unusual treatment these days. All the best with it whatever from a fellow sufferer. Jon

Have worn mine only a couple of times. Very comfortable; you really don't feel like you're wearing chainsaw trousers. You don't need a chunky belt, the one fitted is fine; the loose end tucks away along a tube. Only time will tell how tough they are. I'm probably going to scrap the scrench loop too; I've snagged it a couple of times brashdragging and the plastic tube is a good idea but you do feel it so if you don't need it get rid I'd say. The zipped vents behind the legs really work. All in all I'm chuffed for £120 all in.

Could stand on the ground armed with a pair of binos for you! I'm in Caterham, 5 miles from Fort Croydon.
-
Wot - no chips? Given that I'm just a Navara driver who'd parked on the verge and pointed his digicam out of the driver's window I'm quite pleased with these. 10 o'clock this morning a couple of miles from home.

The handcart attachment looks like little more than an adapted sack trolley. For a log arch you could look at LogRite Tools logging tools

Remember that the emission regs tighten in the London Emissions Zone soon. There are going to be many vehicles down here for sale. That said it wouldn't surprise me if there was another delay or slackening of the requirements given the state of the economy already. Which vehicles are affected? | Low Emission Zone | Transport for London I know of a vehicle that has already cost its seller maybe 20% of the money it would have fetched without next year's LEZ hit.
