Understood Mark. I am not another bleeding heart, I just believe in fact-based judgement, not melodramatic perception. I'm quite happy with yours and others' descriptions of those to whom you refer 🙂

Not all so-called gypsies are travellers; those living on fixed sites I've found to be so much closer to the rest of us in the way they live their lives: there's a hierarchy, the boss man being king - what he says goes. Some years ago I bought a lift trolley on ebay and had to collect it from a huge permanent site near Gloucester. The place was immaculate - the cars were even parked neatly and symmetrically. The guys there were very pleasant and easy to deal with and there was absolutely no attempt at hiding what was lying around the large yard or in the sheds, all of which were a hive of activity; I could have been in Wickes' car park! I'm not defending the all-too-common bad side of things or claiming that those guys were angels but it's important to maintain a sense of proportion

Only in terms of numbers. In terms of physicality 'your lot' are ****ing terrifying and most certainly dominant!!!

At the risk of incurring further stabbing wit from Khriss... surely a house of that tender age (1960s/1970s?) will have foundations designed to withstand the roots of a diddy little willow like that at 7m...? Aren't we supposed to be encouraging the growing of trees where possible? Personally I wouldn't be worried about it but I would keep the tree to its current size or thereabouts

There certainly seems to be a connection with the blood; I know someone who was warned off turmeric because they were about to start a course of chemotherapy

My knowledge of the whole sordid affair comes from what I've seen on the tele but I don't doubt the truth of it

Not my experience at all Egger. Police don't even suggest the charges - CPS do that so it's certainly not the case of the latter simply going along with what the former want. Any cosiness between the two is PR: the CPS are seen as a pain in the butt largely. 'Throwing charges around in the hope of catching folk' hardly applied when it came to prosecuting Asian groomers did it!

Short-term is a problem I agree. And those who most need to insulate their properties are undoubtedly those least able to do so, either because they're in rented or they simply can't afford it. There are some who could simply put on more clothes and move around a bit!

Surely not - that's more fossil fuel. The less of that we use the better

Needing to do everything BIG in the US a class action has just been taken out against John Deere over just this matter, the gist of the argument being that the current lack of one is an abuse of the virtual monopoly that JD have in the States

Likewise!

Morning Alec; hope you're well. It is awkward but by no means a unique situation. In your shoes I think I'd determine what I could myself re the probate position but you may have done that already. Given the value of the watch - it's not a vintage Swatch is it! - I don't think anyone would have a problem with you putting the matter in the hands of solicitors but you'd need to keep an eye on them too of course! Nothing new there but another vote for the solicitor avenue which does afford you the benefit of being seen to be doing things with full propriety Jon

My vote is for beech but I'm only worth half a vote 🙂

To redeem myself a bit; it looks like Rob above is out of 10" bars too

A 2511 might struggle a bit with a 10 foot bar; try a ported 880! Sorry; crawling back under my rock now

Without defending one little bit Putin, a horrible little psycopath with serious Little Man's Disease, Russia has always been paranoid about expansion across Europe; the North European Plain extends from Moscow to Ostend and gives all Russian leaders sleepless nights. The paranoia results from being invaded twice via the Plain when both invaders all but reached the gates of Moscow. In Putin's shoes I would feel uncomfortable about the US presence in Germany, Ukraine etc. Also, and I don't know if this is relevant, the independence of Ukraine cost Russia its free bread basket; Ukraine grew most of Russia's wheat, now Russia has to buy it

1984... 'challenging texts...' FFS; they'll be warning the tender little darlings about Family Guy next

Can't help with any issue I'm afraid. When I click on the link it transfers to the bottom left of my screen and downloads: I either wait for it to download and select 'open' from the menu or immediately select 'open when done' Jon (Mr Nepia 😂)

That's more likely isn't it; nicked then not wanted so killed and dumped assuming it wasn't done by a lazy owner wanting rid of cull animals Cheers

So well behaved enough not to bury them and keep shtum but bad enough to tip them. Still odd!
