Know what you mean. This arvo is the first one for a while I've managed to work without a beanie on my head; every other day recently the midges have been out and about

...the cages with wooden pallet bases standing on 4 or 6 bricks

That's terrible and inexcusable! But I think it's also exceptional; it certainly does nothing to enhance what is actually a very good resource - to Steve's credit

Understood Steve but if they weren't there I'd not have found grateful homes for my small output!

I've used a handful of places for my small output so yes, we do use the directory. Probably to @Steve Bullman 's annoyance I haven't left feedback - except once - because access has been awkward; either a fiddle to arrange (allotment site where the recipient lives some way off and needs to know in advance when to be there to unlock) or, as recently, there isn't even room to turn a car round - you have to reverse the trailer 60+ yards up a poor track. I'm not going to rebuff someone's hospitality by letting me tip on their land only to leave bad feedback. Also the places I've used can only accept small amounts so advertising them via feedback could be counterproductive

Good one Dean. Nice to see you on here still; one of the Old Contemptibles of Arbtalk!

Point taken! You have more experience of the private sector than myself: Kevin perfectly described mine of the public. Good and bad in both - yep, for sure

...with uncanny insight to the Public Sector generally 😔

Copper will sort most things animal; it's nasty stuff as a dissolved chemical though necessary as a trace element

Shame. But he does like big Lawsons Cypress should anyone working West Sussex/Hampshire area read this and encounter some

I seem to remember Live Aid being held up as such an example: any knowledge on that one @Baldbloke ?

Woodlouse Industries supplies products made from urban salvaged... as the main man is a member here though doesn't post these days

It takes as long as it takes; there are so many variables. But ash is one of the few woods that can be burnt green - don't do it as a matter of habit - but you can get away with it a bit less dried than most other species, especially if you mix it in with properly dry stuff

You've been overdosing on the Horlicks again 🤭

Armageddon!

You're just showing off now!

Funny how people perceive the smell in such an array of ways; to me the fresh cut timber is a cross between lemon and vanilla!

Well some of it's in cages 😂

'Outstanding in his field'! RIP Jethro

Thank you Sam. You too

Exactly the context in which such use was described to me; Caithness, 3 miles from the sea. Though even the heather struggled! Very wet and uneven ground

Well if we're going to start slipping the odd sunrise into the thread... this from near Streatham Common a couple of days ago

Crikey, you really are in the land of the grand sunset up there aren't you
