That's what I thought Johny, but what can you do, they laughed when I said I want genuine like for like, oh and they had already charged me the sharpening fee for the lost ones. Cheeky beggars.

Saturn lost my TW240 blades, after a month of calls and generally being fannyed about, they admitted it and sent me their own non genuine blades as replacements. Hey ho.

As my friend woodworm said, Even Forestry can supply you with all the cordwood you will ever need.

The Farm gate leading up to my yard was open this morning at 7, but I didn't think anything of it as a tractor was on the land working, when I got up there my stack of sleepers had gone, but cord wood untouched this time. Worse,the scum also took my sawdust shovel which I've had since sawdust was invented, and my husky helmet. Can't get much lower than stealing like that. If I'd have caught him he wouldn't have had a head worth putting in it.

He's right Bear, this year has seen rat numbers reach an all time high. I am on top of them up at my main yard now, but it's taken a lot of poison to do them all in.

And that is the method of choice for a few of the young fellows that claim to work for me. I am on first name terms with several mums who call me at an early hour with various lame excuses as to why their little Herbert won't be joining us today.

Things that you don't know the answer to thread
oldwoodcutter replied to eggsarascal's topic in The Lounge
Tha answer is more simple than getting shunted, or handbrakes failing, It's just to avoid oncoming traffic shining their headlights through the curtains, as often they will be on main beam, and interrupting the weary drivers sleep . -
It's a well known business rule not to turn up to price in a top of the range motor as human nature tells the client you're making a lot of money somewhere,and it goes against the grain. As for clothing, usually smart casual, but if passing I apologise for being covered in sawdust, but no one expects a tree worker to show up to price in a 3 piece suit.

Mine is updated with bit and pieces of work every couple of weeks, and I get plenty of likes and offers of work come in on the back of it. Many from middle aged as well as younger gen. I'm in the process of getting a web page out there (better late than never)

Good luck with your 32 next week Adam

Yes Felix it is, although I also use 'kill it' bait which is also deadly, or if I have my Browning 725 when it's safe around the straw stacks,I blow them to hell with that.

I have a gentlemans agreement with a farmer and my part of it is to control rats around the grain stores. I have seldom known such a bad year for rats, as fast as I clear 1 lot up, another large gang move in, so I have had to maintain a constant battle to kept them in check. And they're getting bigger, I shovelled one up the other day about the size of a small jack Russell.

There is talk in the future of bringing back British Rail to be our national train company again, but without all their shortcomings. Kevin will then be proved right with our eastern european friends doing in a day what now takes a fortnight. The days of the cushy number will be but a distant memory.

Friend of mine was being driven crazy by beeps and chimes all the time, he spends lot of time off roads so doesn't belt up. His main dealer wouldn't listen so he took it to a local family garage hereabouts and they filled all the noise modules etc with mastic. Not a peep from anything in there now

I like to give them a knock first, even apparently gruff neighbours have said 'while you're here then how much to do so and so' and before you know it there's a bit more folding money to stuff in your jacket pocket .

I'm so sorry to hear about this Adam, if I can be of help you know where I am .

If it's of interest, I've had this blessed problem with can bus electrics on my transit. When my new chipper with its leds was plugged in the tranny went bonkers, hazards coming on, fog lights you name it , if vosa had pulled me over my feet wouldn't have touched the ground. Solved it eventuallybut took long time with various so called electrical experts looking at it and rubbing their chin whiskers.

Lovely

Hope your new grinder gets you plenty of work coming in Adam.

That's a laugh openspaceman, I paid in to a prudential private pension starting in 1972, couple of years ago they start to pay me back my 'hard earned pension' one of their advisors came and sat in my house and said they were generously paying me £64 a month on direct debit. Not index linked. I would have been so much better stashing it in a b.s. over the years. If I ever meet the git that sold it me back then, he will feel the back of my hand.
