    Just refitted mine myself after the chimney sweep condemned it, turned out the professional company who had fitted it had cut the steel stove pipe so it finished 4-5 inches short of the clay liners which meant it had caused large build up of soot and possibility of chimney fire, plus it meant was causing a vortex so not drawing properly, have now bought new register plate and raised it so was about 2 1/2 inch gap to the clay liners and chamfered it round with fire cement and fitted longer steel pipe so it goes into the pots, now draws like a blast furnace and lights first time everytime

    Between £7 and £15 here, although its mostly layed using sawn stakes and no binders on farm jobs, actually in 22 years of laying I can only think of 2 maybe 3 jobs that have wanted binders

    I was always told to lay uphill, it puts less stress on the hinge and saves you having to lay the tree over so far, only time I lay downhill is if I need to back lay some to fill a gap, if theres enough in the hedge to do it else just leave the gap for planting up

    I've seen plenty of lazy youngsters in different lines of work but as has been said its not just youngsters, seems to depend how you were bought up rather than in what era, I know some youngsters now who will put in some serious graft off thier own bats and by the same token I know plenty of older lads who are keen to work til they try it, trouble is you don't know which way they are without trying them

    Theres an old saying "more haste, less speed" learnt many years ago that all rushing about does is leave you knackered, usually means you cock up or break something and does'nt acheive anymore than working hard and steady

    I can read that ok, can also read upside down and back to front with no problem, though struggle with Jon's posts sometimes punctuation has never been my strong point though I always try and spell correctly, though sometimes it goes astray usually when tired or ranting lol, oops hang on I've used a smiley and a lol does that make me sub 25? instead of my 38 years ?

    Throttle cable on the old nuffield we had when I was on yts snapped one day, drove it back to the yard with a pair of mole grips attached and then joined it back together with a snare key. Put a new alternator on my ford tractor, after a few hours work and in middle of a flail mowing job, the pully twisted itself off the shaft and threw the fan belt, rang my brother to see if he could borrow pair of tights off sister in law and meet me at the job, finished mowing, tied the tights on to provide temporary fan belt and stopped at the river on the way home to top the water up as had got bit warm while fan belt was off

    Reminds me of one of my favourite Churchill qoutes at a party a lady said to him "Sir you are a drunk" to which he replied "Madam I may be drunk, but in the morning I will be sober, you however will still be ugly"
