  2. tommer9

    festivals!

    I went to the secret garden party last year....I think I went to Waveforem at powderham castle a couple of years ago....none planned yet this year though. Definitely not glastobolox though lol! Not my thing TBH. Have fun there though.
  3. :lol:Not sure HOW i would class Padstow:confused1:
  4. Theres no set aside grants anymore. We have been getting single farm payments for years now.
  5. Haha I must admit that after 4 years in the midlands that i do miss stuff being open after 12pm on a saturday, and being able to get takeaway after about 11pm lol!
  6. So how come there is only 1 vote for town, yet several have said they live in town at the mo:confused1: If you live in town, now, vote town:biggrin:
  7. I think you count as country in my book Chris...... Its purely out of interest.
  8. How many of us live in the countryside, and how many of us are townies? I lived in a town for a few years and hated it, but have always lived in the middle of nowhere other than that. Who else? The poll question should have finished as '....dont count as countryside'
  9. Not everyone believes that britain WAS 100% forested.....I am not SURE either way, but even Rackham admits that it could be either way. I was in the north york moors area some years ago and the effects of the drainage on the moor for pheasant shoots were being worried about then.
  10. Haha thats like summer in cornwall!!
  11. As i understand it the problem with mans intervention in moorland (which was the OP's original referral) is the drainage of said morland to create shooting grounds. Moorland is generally wetter than heathland (where one sees abundances of lizards and snakes etc) and would not necessarily support a woodland as such- peaty soils, sphagnum bogs etc etc, so the trees you have mentioned may not be that natural to the environment in its raw state....it ius only the draining of these moors to support profitable shoots that has allowed these species to successfully establish themselves. If that makes sense.
  12. You need to tighten the chain on that saw before you use it again....at 1.22 it looked pretty slack to me.
  13. Those are bees i think.....
  14. BAd luck mate- total bummer that.
  15. it hit 24 degrees today where i was!!! Dismantled a couple of 50' sycs over a load of wires.....it was rather warm!!!
  16. Those hankooks you mentioned are a MT not an AT, so WOULD look better equipped for mud.
  17. Yeah they are awful!!!
  18. Yeah that makes sense- the parts are hugely pricey. Thats one cool looking truck though.
  19. Yes even the ATs are very capable off road.
  20. Blimey!! Imagine what he could do with rope and harness!!!!!
  21. WOW!!!! Wonder why they changed it FROM 6x6 to 6x4?
  22. Tonnage is pretty much irrelevant TBH. Volume is how it ought to be measured.
  23. Not sure it does!! It is an amazing tool. He brought one bak a few years ago, and we gave it hell for ages, cuting aroung bits of granite and all sorts with no nasty lethal throw-offs of bit of metal, The H&S issues with the brogio one were due to the fact that the ordinary chain it used wasnt up to the job, Chainsaw chain is so tough that this wasnt an issue, and it left a fine mulch of everything it cut.
