I've been to that butchers, posh, but then so is the rest of Melrose! Something about JK Rowling in the window Trying to think of a good joke, there must be one....... Trans butcher goes to the sex change surgeon to get his manhood cut off. Surgeon says to him: "Sure, no problem. Is it link or lorne?" That was terrible. Sausage jokes are the wurst.

If you were local I would flog you a 2nd hand husqvarna 435, not been used much. Decent enough wee saw but has been superseded by battery.

If you do longer willow cuttings they can fight with the weeds a bit better, maybe 3ft/4ft. Was talking to a guy before who was using cuttings at 6ft minimum, they were going in to bracken, never heard how he got on with that

Any chance we could send the lads up to Loch Ness when they're done?......

There was a guy last year who went missing in Cullen walking back to his house. His body was found a few weeks later washed up on a small Orkney island. Given the expanse of ocean, it seems amazing he was found (obviously he didn't go by road!)

A guy went missing locally whilst walking his dog in December 2019, they found his car and the dog, but have never found the man. You can only assume he fell into the river and was washed out to sea. James Paton - Police Scotland WWW.SCOTLAND.POLICE.UK James Paton Some confusion over where exactly the dog was. Police say there it was inside the car, but locally people say it was stood outside the car, as if it had managed to find it's own way back.

Is Northern Arb Supplies still on the go? Website seems to be down, or is it just the rotatech website now?

What happens if you get a metal detector for christmas? Detectorists find unexploded bomb near schools in Invergordon WWW.BBC.CO.UK The discovery led to a number of schools and roads being closed in Invergordon. 700 pupils get the day off school

I assume when you say watts you're meaning watt hours? It doesn't matter what brand it is, they will all cost much and such the same to charge, for the power that they deliver. If you look on the bottom of an 18v 5ah battery it will usually be stamped 90wh. 18 x 5 = 90 Add on a few watts for the charger itself, and there's your 100 watt hours (0.1kwh) to recharge. So a husky bli300 battery which is 36v 9.4ah, is 36 x 9.4 = 338wh

I'm a psychopath, I went the other way! I had a renault master with a rotten tipper body. Got a great condition dropside (non tipper) body, from a transit, and fitted that, on my own. Not too complicated to make the mountings work. Gave the old hydraulic pump and ram to a friend, sold the old (alloy) tipper sides for £100! Handy little runaround, and the dropside has a swinglift on it, which to me is as handy as a tipper would be. (I know you could fit a swinglift to a tipper anyway....)

Hi folks, I've seen a roble beech growing locally, apparently planted 1988 and a fair old size, beautiful tree. I fancy one for the garden, has anyone seen anywhere selling them, I've not had much luck on google so far. Ideally bare root and cheap! Or do you think cuttings would have any success?

Seen they've now got fruit trees in poundstretcher...............but now £10 each this year!!

Is it just me being a dinosaur or is this really poor, lazy design?

I don't understand, her leggings don't seem to have any pockets, but there's defiantly something stashed in there

Don't forget quarries and sawmills have had to change to white diesel. Even the forklifts in builders merchants will be on white now. A local place does crushed stone for circa £20/ton 🤐

Ask driver for details (cos the passenger aint got a clue!)

Are the reds shaggable too then? Asking for a friend.

As a change from people discussing their tax returns, have this........

Talking to a local honey producer, he puts a few hives in an area with mature limes, and he said you can actually notice a lime green tint in the honey! They also put hives up in the hills to make heather honey, which sells for a higher price....

I don't know either splitter sorry, but you'd need a hell of a genny to run one! Even on the mains, for 3kw working away for hours, you need to have a decent electric connection. The less powerful splitter has a slightly smaller motor and slightly higher speed. And 110kg vs 171kg. That means a load more metal in the bigger splitter, but a lot more effort if you want to drag it about by hand!

Was talking about this type of hinge with someone recently. Would the bottom socket have been a bit of tube/pipe, or a stone with a dimple carved for it to sit in? In a rural setting, with wooden posts, ie not a paved driveway?
