  1. Perhaps, as soon as Brexit is up and running, we should go down the same road as New Zealand, and abolish farm subsidies all together?. NZ did it in the 1980's and have never looked back. Can anyone explain how they can run a profitable business rearing and exporting lamb over here with no subsidies?
  2. If you can confirm, where you lost it, you can have it back.
  3. Done quite a bit of detecting in the past, Paul. Still have the detector, (laser power max 2) but haven't used it in a while. The thrill of finding a hammered coin is something never to be forgotten. Found loads of junk too, my most unusual find was a unused condom, wrapped in foil, with a manufacture date of 1973.
  4. Thanks kev. Think I may have it sorted
  5. Ok, I'm a limited company. I'm the only director. I've two people who are on the books and only work part time for me. Both earn under £10,000. Neither want a workplace pension. Neither do I. So, my accountant has me signed up to Now Pensions, even though none of the employees or myself want anything to do with workplace pensions. This is costing me around £15 per month. Do I as an employer, legally need this?
  6. Has it been frosted. Never used the stuff. But, this sort of thing happened to me with kerb-flo
  7. To be honest. I'm looking at a change of career. I've been working with trees for 31 years now. Work is getting harder and I've lost a bit of enthusiasm. Hopefully have a new challenge in the pipeline next year.
  8. Well done. Just goes to show what you can do with a bit of determination. I too, went to houghall over 20 years ago. Perhaps, if things were different, I might also have gone on to do a degree course.
  9. Perhaps there should be an NPTC unit to assess your fitness. They seems to be one for everything else?
  10. There's your answer. Job justification from the planners
  11. They come up quite often on eBay. If you can wait a while, you might find a good one on there for around £2500. The rear end of the ch25 is the same as the older 150. So parts should be available.
  12. I've had mine just over 10 years. In that time the things replaced has been, new axle, new exhaust, new rotor fins and new no-stress. The main bearing is fine and has never been replaced. I'm sure it's the original 15 year old rotor bearing. Don't think that's too bad for 10 years work.
  13. I've a entec ch25 at the moment. It's a cracking chipper, and I'd buy another. Mines one of the last made, may 2001. I'm not too sure about parts availability. They are quite heavy on petrol. I tend to disagree about needing 30hp or above. mine will chip all day with no problems. Everything over 3 or 4 inches is a log, so it don't get abused. I also spend a lot of time traveling over the dales. It's light and easily manovered Saying that, mine is 15 years old. I'd buy another, if they were still making them. But your own market and financial position determines what to go for.
  14. I'm sure you'll find it ok. let us know what you think of it.
  15. 16l 2000 model Had them both for about 3 or 4 years. No problems
  16. Actually, o think they may be 16l
  17. I have 2, both 15l yellow ones. Can find out the model tomorrow if you wish. Been spraying bracken with them today, and for the last fortnight. No problems at all. The extendable lance comes as standard with them. I think it's an extra with other sprayers.
  18. Still using the same berthoud. Still no problems. recommend to anyone.
  19. Check out Elmer Bernstein, a great film music composer. The great escape, magnificent seven, commencheros.

    Don't get me wrong, I would love it if we all lived the utopian dream. Perhaps, we will in the future. Almost everyone wants more money for the NHS and no wars.

    any nation with a crackpot in charge. Which has the technology to develop and fire nuclear weapons. Chemical weapons are supposed to be banned, but they have been used fairly recently.

    so, what happens if every nation who has a nuclear deterrent gives up their weapons. whats to stop a rogue nation from trying to blackmail others. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the ending of these weapons, but at the moment, the time is not right.

    Really think we need to keep our nuclear weapons. Can't the current system just be updated? There's too many nutters about in this world, not to have a deterrent. We don't know what the future holds. Would be at a major disadvantage if Any country or terrorist decides to hold us to ransom if we can't strike back. It's kept the 'nuclear peace' since 1945
