...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!

Bent farm gates secured by bale twine.

'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?

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.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you'll only need the one if you can persuade him/her to stay put!

Any chance of the neighbour being persuaded to create a raised area of hardstanding? There could be stepped, shaped or sloped edges to it; a creative landscaper could come up with something pleasing to the eye I'm sure.
-
Superb. You've really used the natural form of the wood there without having to manufacture the shape. Must be the artist in you showing through.

WANTED: Tractor and trailer with timber grab Mid Sussex
nepia replied to tim361's topic in General chat
I've just remembered: I know a guy near me with a Mog and crane trailer. He doesn't advertise himself but for a job like that he may help out. Let me know if interested. Jon -
The law of averages I'd guess. I planted 10 as a garden hedge in Betchworth a few years ago. All but two made it and those two were randomly placed in the row; no apparent rhyme or reason for the failures but us humans don't like mysteries do we.

You could try reading your pm's! Jon -
As good as ever and still winning admiration from clients!

How accurate do you reckon the onboard computers are? I've got a D40 with 750 miles on the clock's telling me I'm getting 31.4 mpg and I reckoned to be getting 25-26mpg from my 57 plate D40 when it went: I'm doing everything a gear higher with the new truck (more bhp these days). I am surprised to see folk apparently getting over 30mpg for anything more than the shortest periods of time: I just don't understand where mpgs well into the 30s come from.
