Europe, Africa...

Groundsaw and 2 hedgetrimmers stolen at work today...
nepia replied to Dionysus's topic in General chat
If it's any consolation there's a yard nearish me with 10' spiked palisade fencing round it and the gits still screwed a locked shipping container inside it the other day in broad daylight - and all for a saw and a strimmer I believe. You did your best... Happy bloody Christmas! -
I read that at 7.15 on a Saturday morning - what a great way to start the day!!!

Bound to say that weren't they. Got a call from a 'talker this morning who took a Freelander for service at one of the South East's biggest L/R dealers; the manager politely asked him to unplug the box. Five minutes later the manager was happy! This is definitely a case of the heart not grieving over what the eye doesn't see.

Have had a card for decades; it's one of the first things you see when you open my wallet. It says 'take what you want' (but wouldn't recommend the eyes!)

Thanks.

You'll be beating me to it there. Prepare for waffle: I suspect they won't want us using the things but they also won't want to admit that the warranties will stand the unit's use. Interesting point made about insurance. I wonder if the ins. cos. would see fitting one as a 'modification'? Declare it and have your premium go up, don't declare it and risk your insurance being voided because you didn't tell them about it. The former I reckon - any sniff of an opportunity for moneymaking... Oh, while I'm here how the heck do I 'Quote' reply to more than one post in one reply of my own?! My ignorance is the reason for all my short 'reply' posts. Thanks for the surprisingly positive replies all; I was expecting the Powerbox to be slated if truth be told. Jon

Nigel, it's them making the offer!
-
Would definitely check, yes. The letter claims that it doesn't affect it but that's not the same as the manufacturer saying it is it. Cheers.
-
That's interesting; the letter is an offer of 25% discount off RRP.
-
Just had a letter offering one of these for £337.50 (+VAT presumably as the letter doesn't say). As I'll be getting a new vehicle (Navara) in January I was wondering if this was worth considering as it would potentially be 'boosting' and 'saving' for the whole time I had that vehicle. Cynicism suggests that a gizmo claimed to reduce fuel consumption (4-6mpg extra) and increase torque may just be too good to be true. Further reasoned cynicism/support for the gadget appreciated. Cheers, Jon

In the unlikely event that Milner can't help you try Car Parts: Car Breakers, Used Car Parts and Engines, 4x4, Gearboxes, Ford and Volvo Auto Parts Not as dodgy as the name looks - the parts are new! - and only today I've paid just £4 more with them for a light cluster than Milners' price.

A.Hippo full of concrete - any advice?

Could it be feasible to minimise the amount of cutting by using a crane and getting yourself a tungsten chain? -
As long as speed isn't important I'd go for smaller: lower centre of gravity so more stable and for heavy stuff you've always got low box. Plus lower running costs.

...and can I be next in the queue? I'm in Caterham (between you and Pembs but closer to you!) Cheers, Jon

It's to do with that yes. It's a specific term under the Land Registration Act. The relevant period has come down to 10 years for periods ending later than 2003. In short it looks like someone else has laid claim to ownership to 2.03 acres of the land you may want to buy. Avoid!

Welcome Gavin. Good woodland management has plenty of scope for the future; best of luck making the economics of it work for you. Jon Caterham

I know hazel can be whippy but I think you're being a bit optimistic looking for 8' lengths of 1/2" stuff. However in December I'm going to be re-coppicing 3 hazels in Oxted that have 8-10 years' regrowth. If you can wait a few weeks I should be able to grab what you're after - but you'll need to be paring down the 1/2" whips from something bigger. Jon

You won't regret it. I have 24" and 30" bars and it's a corker.

A pregnant prostitute's at the doctor's. Dr: Do you know who the father is? Pros: Jeez - if you ate a tin of beans would you know which one made you fart?

'Kin dried'?! He's had his brothers n sisters puffing at them!

The Aussie/Kiwi immigration authorities would be less than impressed to hear that should anyone want him back badly enough. No visa = no work there.

A quick Google of 'tree lighting' helps. Very impressive stuff there.
