  1. Thanks Barry. I'll have a look at that today if I get a chance. Got a list of jobs from management to do first though.
  2. How does £20 grab you? It is used but there are are no tears in it and it is all complete afaik.
  3. I bet you that it is not the lining but sawdust which has got in where the lowest line of your laces have rubbed through the leather. I would take them back as this is a not uncommon problem.
  4. I expect Mick Stockbridge and Rich Rule can offer some valuable saw-cleaning advice after their whale dismantle.
  5. Always watch yourself with people like that. Last thing you want is a used needle stuck in you.
  6. Spot on.
  7. I have a Husqvarna 142 which has had a new plug and air filter. I have reset both the L AND H screws to 1 and 1/4 turns. It fires fine on choke then when I try to start it, it fires then dies straight away, whether the brake is on or not. The only way it will run is with the idle cranked high enough to rev it hard from the off. Could it be the clutch spring is weak or something else?
  8. No, but to change the subject I think that somewhere I have a used tonneau cover for that model if you need one.
  9. Arrived today, and all Dan would take is a donation to the RNLI for the postage. Thanks mate, you are a true gentleman.
  10. Have you tried one of these? Portek PowerStrim 6 replacement strimmer head I use this with the heavy grey serrated stuff for hard going and Starium line for lighter growth. Edit. Sorry, that was supposed to be a link. F R Jones sell them though
  11. I had a problem a couple of years back with the sole splitting on a pair of Protector Pro boots well within the 2 year warranty. I had lost the receipt by then but I contacted Haix through a work wear company (Brix work wear, dealt with a guy called Gary) I found on-line and, after I gave Haix the serial number in the boots, they sent me a brand new pair without any arguments. The person I dealt with at Haix was called Cordelia Wagner. To the OP, PM if you want their email addresses.
  12. A few years ago, I saw a tree that had blocks of wood nailed to the trunk to act as footholds above ladder height to enable it to be dismantled by the home owner who was an ex-submariner in his 80s. Hell of a bloke.
  13. You could follow the sandal instead.
  14. You've missed the bit where 4 of the monkeys try to crawl up the backside of the lead monkey.
  15. Forget the cabbage. Follow the gourd!
  16. Probably just me.
  17. It certainly creates a more healthy root stock than standard enclosed potting. Can't be cheap either as the guy who I bought it from removed the 'pot' and wrapped the root ball in hessian before delivering it. Does look like something that belongs in a Soho window though.
  18. Can't help with the theory of it but I bought a Copper Beech recently that had been grown in one of these and the root ball was superb.
  19. I bet you say that to all the boys.
  20. Because it's still the same saw and still very good service. To be comparable, you would need to buy the saw from F R Jones but then go and collect it yourself or accept having no warranty.
  21. Try clicking your heels together and saying 'there's no place like home, Toto'. You just have to believe, Jon.
  22. Reminds me of a Turkey Oak reduction from a few years back.
