  1. I lost interest in this thread pages ago but as Dominic Cummins been caught with his pants down?
  2. ... but me truck and saws have gone missing...
  3. Not in the time I was there, but I ask ya, you've been told what my plans are for next year, then go ahead and plant young fruit trees where the new fence is going, some people beggar belief. They were really decent neighbors, he did all the electrics when I put a new kitchen and bathroom in... common sense, I had working Springers with more.
  4. I had one with my last neighbour, I told him the old fence (mine) was coming out next year and a new one going in, and I'd be trenching to put in rabbit netting, (my place backed on to a branch line), the cock planted a load of fruit trees on the boundary, we dug them out, got the fence in and replanted. All sorted out in the wash.
  5. Ok, they can, I worded it badly, it's known as 'acceptable spacing'. But I've been turned down for trying it.
  6. I was aching to stick something into that but left it alone because it was in Employment?
  7. Let's try the amicable way as far as possible, Andy has to live next to the bloke for however long, I realise some people are pricks but neighbourly disputes tend to grow. Throw him as many bones as you can afford before it gets really nasty. There usually is a work around if you can hold your patience, rum coming from me I know.
  8. At any rate, if he needs water and power he's going to have to dig two trenches, water and power can't go in the same trench, well, not down here it can't.
  9. You are right bud, cost him many thousands to sort it. If it was my place and viable I'd install my own driveway, still retaining my 'old' driveway.
  10. Can't help with the tress but can't he tap into his own water supply even if it does mean putting in a break tank and booster set. Then thrust bore for the power supply, much less intrusive.
  11. Those who've taken part have made the day of the kids in the village when they've been out for a walk. It's all been done on the village FB page, a good cause, and a laugh, it's brightened the place up over the last few weeks. There's monkeys hanging off nextdoors Ariel, big cardboard cows where they shouldn't be, harmless fun and they've raised £1300.
  12. Known as luck money around here, a token gesture usually after a deal has been struck.
  13. He wasn't so keen on keeping fit when I went to the shop this morning.
  14. A lady in the village has been raising money for Colchester zoo, she's got half the village involved by asking them to create there own zoo. This polar bear has made me smile when I've passed by. There must be a hundred if not more cuddly toys about.
  15. Take trigger_andy up on his offer, I'm sure you'd give your address away to someone from eBay or the like. And get out of bed ya lazy bugger, it's gone seven.
  16. It's hard to tell from those photos but the vertical pipe looks on the skew, try taking it out and squaring it up, pour boiling water over the reducer to soften it so that you can get it right the way home. A couple of new jubilee clips wouldn't do any harm, they never seem to tighten properly when they are reused.
  17. Good shout, started it with new batteries. relay fired then jammed. I'll give it a look tomorrow.
  18. Cheers Bill, new battery's been drained. The bit I cant get my head round is the isolater had been turn on, so I don't understand where I'm loosing it. I know it's working because the light on the tacho is off.
  19. Got an electrical problem on the old girl, fecker wont start. I put a new battery on it last week, there are two, 24v, it started first time, switched it off and now it won't start. It's an ex Snap-on truck so was modded from new, turning the ignition off doesn't stop the engine (this I'm told was done so the driver could get out lock the door and leave the engine running), you have to hit the kill switch to stop the engine ,there is also an isolator switch to isolate the batteries, to stop the tacho draining the batteries when parked up for a while. Which leads me to think it's the ignition switch itself), before I start ripping the dash apart any ideas?, bill pierce? John p, anyone? Just to add I've tested the kill switch, and isolator with a meter, they are both working.
  20. Gatepost according to the op.
  21. Having worked with pumps, but not hydraulic pumps, I thought cavitation was caused by low pressure on the intake side. No use but it might be a place to start?
  22. And you believe that, and it's why I'm staying away from other people just now. The hard left are just as abhorrent as the far right.
  23. That's how it is, no one knows how to deal with this virus. It's the arrogance of those telling us what to do that winds me up.
  24. Nothing serious, but I've got to go and explain myself, which I should be able to do, or I'm..
