It's not right warm in the Yorkshire dales. Drizzle this morning, decent night, but cold. You southerners always seem to get the best deals. Is the weather controlled by the government?????

'Dirty diesels contributing to air pollution', is the title of this thread. I agree, they probably do. It's worth remembering that each time you recharge your phone or computer which you wrote this thread on, you will probably also contribute to air pollution. You have to buy your computer; have it delivered or pick it up yourself. It constantly needs to be charged or powered . It has to be manufactured (probably in China) and finally disposed with. Usually to be replaced by another. its a bit like the wood chipper problem, where people say it's 'green' to chip instead of burn, but if you think about it a bit, it's not as simple as that.

long overdue restrictions on the use of highly toxic pesticides
daveindales replied to SteveA's topic in General chat
The less pesticides in foods the better, as far as I'm concerned. However, this is part of the Green Party manifesto and will almost certainly never be implemented by the greens themselves. One of the better ideas from their newly published manifesto, shame about some of their other policies. -
A mistake for the country first time round in the 80's. A great opportunity to purchase a cheap home. Depends which way you look at it. Was rather a fan of Maggie, but selling off council houses was a mistake

2 is a birch, 4 Garrya, 8 looks like cherry laurel. You really need some close ups of the buds twigs for better id.

Avoid hourly charges if you can. Charge by the day or half day, especially if your dealing with farmers.

I have one. If it's just an occasional person, or short trips then their ok. Their also fine for young kids. I wouldn't want to do a long journey in one. I use mine for storage, helmets, rope, harness etc

Totally agree

Had call from misses sheep all most dead in field

All creatures great and small was filmed around where I live. In fact, my wife's claim to fame is that she was seen as a child buying an ice cream in one of the films. -

In my part of gods own country, if a sheep can't get up its 'rigged' . This slang word also applies to any person who's stuck or caught up in something. Their' 'rigged' don't know if it's the same in other parts -
Never used green willow. But with dry ash you need a very straight grained timber

I dropped the thing off a wall and the tank cracked along the seam. Also broke the top handle. Replaced the handle, hence taking carb out. I've tried gluing and clamping but repair only lasts a few weeks. May have to go for the replacement option.
-
I've had the carb off and replaced before, so that's not a problem. Will look into plastic welding chris.

Have a leaking fuel tank, due to a crack on a ms201. Have tried fixing but still leaking. Does anyone know how easy it is to replace the tank housing

Hope they do show his remaining shows, as they spent part of last week filming here in upper wensleydale

Down 6% today. Taylor wimpey for me

Italian traffic offence take 4 months reach us!
daveindales replied to Goaty's topic in General chat
I've only ever been pulled over by the police once in nearly 30 years of driving. This was in Umbria in Italy, when the police suddenly pulled us over in our british registered golf. I've no idea why they pulled us, as they couldn't speak any English and we couldn't speak any Italian. Bit of a fiasco really, but we still have a laugh about it now. -
We provide logs included in the price of our cottages in the yorkshire dales. We'd rather they burn my 'free' logs than buy coal. Some, also ask you to pay for the electric, via a meter, and to bring your own bed linen. Best to do some research and look at the terms and condition before booking.

Solo sprayers are great when new. I've promoted them on here before. Their comfortable, stable to fill up and transparent, so you can see how full they are. But, when they get a bit older they tend to wear and drip a bit from the piston area. You can get new seals, but it's the plastic that wears, and they still weep a bit. This can leak onto your lower back. I've now moved onto berthoud sprayers. Just as good as solo, but without the leak problem. Both are better than cooper pegler in my opinion.

It does not make any difference if your in a national park or not. Trees in a national park have no more, but just the same protection as any other area.

A good analogy spud. The tiger, was like you say a great tank, it's presence scared the hell out of allied tank crews. This was called 'tigerphobia' But at 57 tons, compared to 26 for a T34, it was too heavy for most bridges. There were at lease 20 cases of tigers that fell through bridges. It was unsuitable on marshy ground, unreliable and also used a lot of gasoline. That said, it's 88mm gun was deadly and could penetrate 110mm armour at 2000m.

Tend to agree. Better than bought bread. But nothing I've tried over the years beats my nans home baked bread. Sadly, she's no longer with us, but that bread which she made on a Wednesday, and delivered fresh to us, still makes my mouth water today.

Change them back to thread type ASAP. I hate the things.

I did mine as well. Best thing I did

The trouble with cutting up big butts with a big bar is, if you hit something you've a hell of a lot of sharpening to do. Stick with 28" or 30" bar, whichever model of saw you use.
