  1. No, not replaced the brushes. I have no idea how much use the thing had before I was given it a few years ago. It's a 140E
  2. Classic English pear shape as my classically English pear shaped lady likes to put it ...or 'I'm built for comfort, not speed'!
  3. I have a ?30 year old corded Stihl on a 12" bar and it's great; sounds exactly what you need. You may be surprised by the oomph; I have no qualms about using it to ring up stuff that needs the bar cutting from both sides. I'll bring it with me when I drop off that axe head - one day...
  4. Friend of the Devil by The Grateful Dead? 😊

    Jokes???

  6. Me too. The lack of respect that Volvo gets is nothing short of bullying; Alec you should be ashamed 😁
  7. Odd; on my course (1986) we were made to double declutch going up and down the gears on a synchro box!
  8. I took out a long dead stump for someone a couple of years ago that was at least 18" 6 feet off the ground. Would have been lovely turning wood but was too far gone sadly. As for their age I don't know.
  9. Eng certainly deserved the win on balance; Denmark have done themselves proud. I'm just about there with the TMO in rugby but what the **** is VAR there for if it's not to get decisions right?!

  12. I agree Pete but much of what he says has a large ring of truth to it, e.g. Boris himself saying 'how did I ever get to be PM?'! But yes, he's a jilted lover and no mistake; time to STFU!
  13. The OP is a bit east of there - Wilts/Dorset border
  14. I'm good thanks Mark. The sign - I'd forgotten too! Leave it for now; I'll PM you about it. 👍
  15. Don't stress him unnecessarily Steve; the dear boy's only just learnt to load pics the right way up @gobbypunk Morning Mark 😊
  16. Thuja will take a reasonable cut but not a smashing like yew. + Cryptomeria
  17. Off the top of my head how about Aesculus pavia? A more appropriate size and shape for your plot. Or a large shrub that needs hard pruning to get the best from it - lilac, deutzia, philadelphus...
  18. Buy sweet gum Liquidambar styraciflua Slender Silhouette: £84.99 Delivery by Crocus WWW.CROCUS.CO.UK A new Liquidambar for small gardens Take a look at the 'eventual height'. That's a no then!
  19. Do tell us how you became an expert 😅
  20. But at least it can be good for some wild things which I think is more than can be said for bloody Red Robin 'hedges'!
  21. ..but if not I'll manage 😄
