  1. If you want to get good regrowth then the cuts need to be as thick as a finger. Regen is really slow or non existent off thin cuts.
  2. I’ve been very impressed with central boilers. They stand alone outside and have a large water jacket and are classed as wood gasification. No accumulator needed.
  3. Just finishing years and years
  4. Mine was messing about and it was a flat battery. Check the switches, I fractionally bent the surround once and it jammed a button. It will almost certainly be electrical. Do they reverse? Or just nothing?
  5. I sold it as logs once but the customers never came back! It’s fine in a biomass which I now have so problem solved if it comes back into the yard.
  6. I see Tesla posted £7 hundred million loss last year!
  7. It’s a red lady. Female Hazel flower

  10. You don’t have to worry about that now if you looked at the stats. Are you a member of Britain First by any chance?
  11. All 108 pages on putting out road signs!
  12. Nature spy are the people to ask. Really helpful and cheap too
  13. A well written article and one which I agree with 100%. There was a arb note written many years ago called 'Ivy, boon or bane'and it came up with similar conclusion. I always persuade client to leave it where possible, cutting it back to give more light if necessary.
  14. [ATTACH]221883[/ATTACH] Found these buzzard chicks in a Xmas tree at the bottom of my garden. Not sure they were impressed with me climbing the next door tree!
  15. I agree with most of this. Why should those who work hard all their lives pay for those who don't. The high rate of tax mustn't be punitive but there are plenty of high earners who could afford to pay more. Of course if they pay less tax then they might be richer and spend more money on employing people like me and you, so we pay their tax. It's a difficult balance. Same with austerity, you employ someone who pays tax then you sack them to save money and then pay them through the welfare state. Every government needs more money it's just working out who to rob first!
  16. I think you will find that most people would rather have a job than have to live a life on the dole. Corbyn just wants a fairer society for all of us. What's wrong with that? The gap between rich and poor grew bigger under Cameron than any other prime minister. May will be the same.
  17. We haven't left yet! The drop in the £ has ruined many businesses and investment in our biggest industries is at an all time low. Growth has also dropped off. I'm a tree surgeon not an economist but it looks bleak to me. However a deal with Canada and Australia would be good. Why do we have to leave the eu to do this?
  18. And we don't. I still think brexit was based on a pack of lies that life would be better outside the eu. I don't subscribe to that and will continue to what I can to scupper it.
  19. We, of course, think exactly the same of you! Better the devil you know than the devil you don't. And you really really don't.
  20. No, Germany will do everything it can to retain a good deal with us. It's the others we need to worry about. They won't be caring about ours or Germany's economy only their own. The Eu needs ALL the other member to agree to a deal, not just Germany. It took 7 years for the EU to agree to deal with Canada it is was nearly scuppered by a single Belgium municipal representative who wanted a better deal for their farmers. I fear May is going to sail our economy into the rocks just to get brexit.
  21. It's all very well saying Germany sells us 750000 cars a year but brexit isn't a deal with Germany its with 26 other countries. They ain't going to make it better or easier for us unless they get a good deal which will cost us dear. Now we've got a lame duck prime minister do you really think we will be better off?!!! All those winers from Wolverhampton will be wining even more.
