  1. "Unlike our 3G network, we won’t be turning 2G off completely. In fact, we expect to continue operating it for several years and it will play an important role in carrying emergency calls in more remote areas without 4G coverage. We’ll also use it to support data traffic for smart energy meters" I don't know the technical details, but sounds like 2g will only be able to be used for smart meter data and emergency calls? I was told by tesco mobile/O2 you'll no longer be able to send or receive texts.
  2. I wonder how many existing trackers will, or have already, stopped working, with the switch off of 3g?
  3. Have a look at the Balfor circular saws https://www.balforuk.co.uk/shark-saw-benches
  4. What sort of volume, have you thought about a circular saw bench?
  5. Looks like the OP @Al Gordita has disappeared without telling us what bike he has!
  6. Yes it's fine with a mulching blade, needs to be the 3mm thick blade. Personally I prefer 4 stroke or battery for running a blade than 2 stroke
  7. I often use the Husky battery brush cutter with a mulching blade on stuff a lot heavier than bramble, you can even use it as a clearing saw and fell small trees
  8. You can get a glass Barr's bottle in the holder by your knee, which is the main thing.
  9. Local feed supplier always has tins of Hoggs dubbin on the counter, so that's what I use. If the boots aren't clean/dry, I would sometimes spray wd40 on them on the way out the door in the winter, I think it helped a bit with waterproofing.
  10. Op, what cargo bike you got, any pics?
  11. So how much of a discount if I turn up with a £100 note with a picture of the Kessock Bridge?
  12. Found on youtube.......

    Storm damage.

    The best smoke screen I've seen is chain oil in the wrong hole (not today, as we didn't have a storm)
  14. Scots pine allergy apparently https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/12/07/norwich-scots-pine-tree-allergic-south-norfolk-council/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1mrrzdz7kko
  15. As I understand: If it's for employees, 20% VAT If the person buying it is going to wear it, 0% VAT https://www.gov.uk/guidance/protective-equipment-and-vat-notice-70123 2.1 Protective boots and helmets that qualify for zero-rating they must not be supplied to persons for use by their employees 2.6 Zero-rated industrial helmet accessories If you fit accessories such as visors or ear protectors as an integral part of a qualifying industrial helmet, you can zero-rate the supply of the complete helmet. But accessories supplied on their own are standard-rated.
  16. If they were sold with a hard hat as being a set then the entire thing should be VAT free. Might be hard getting the supplier to understand this That's as an individual. As a business you're supposed to pay the vat then claim it back - same for boots etc.
  17. You can tell you're in the south of England, most Transits of that era up here would've rusted away before covid!
  18. I like the radio wedged in place with rizla packet, I had that on an old van once
  19. Yep the TCF engineering ones have the option of a 50mm ball hitch drawbar, I've towed it with the muck truck before. You can also mount the handle in numerous positions, to give you a cart that is short and nimble or able to carry long lengths. I moved a stack of 16ft sawn timber (larch) with it
  20. I bought it a few years ago, it's probably excluding for both. Yes the wheels have bearings The wide wheels are much better on grass
  21. I've got the TCF engineering one, it's good, especially with the wide tyres. It's well made, quite heavy, I imagine the stein one is lighter. I use it a lot at home round the yard/garden Brash Cart - TCF ENGINEERING WWW.TCFENGINEERING.CO.UK Our Brash Cart is ideal for tree surgeons, gardeners and foresters to move brash, logs, timber and chip.
  22. There was a fresh pile of rubbish dumped in the woods at a side of a single track road near here a month or two back. I was passing on the bike, so stopped to have a rummage. Found a euro crate (strong plastic storage box) which I was chuffed about so took it! There was the usual household stuff like a telly, and also a large pile of books. The subject of all the books was all related to islam. Was even a book on islamic law - I didn't look to see if there was a section on flytipping!
  23. I would put that in a much bigger pot, and leave it outside. What's your plans for the trees, plant in your garden, or somewhere else
  24. Nah she got some Latvians instead
  25. Swap for homemade cake, or something similar
