  1. Thanks folks. Run a 372xp but too heavy in amongst the rhoddies. 135 tempting.
  2. I'm clearing rhodedendrum ponticum out of a large area over this coming winter. It'll be slash and burn and I'm after a lightweight saw recommendation to get in amongst them. There's nothing over 5 inch diameter. Thanks, Dave
  3. Night time temps 9 here. Dave
  4. I did rip your post apart to get that comment from you! I see how quotes differ from door stopping. Enjoyed the debate and see your position better. Thanks, Dave
  5. That's what the scroat that power washed my great grans patio for £1000 said.
  6. Once word gets round a business charges what it can get away with it it's the start of the end. No professionals, no trust, no business.
  7. And I'm agreeing with you!
  8. Fair enough then!
  9. They might try and charge you 'whatever they can get away with' which is the approach you advocate in one of your posts.
  10. It's an El Nino year and it's a late El Nino peaking dec/jan. Historical data shows when this happens temps 4c lower on average. At least that's what the man I read said! Dave
  11. Asian hornets coming up through France. They attack bee hives. Asian bees ball up around a hornet in the hive and raise temperature to 38 degrees so hornets die. Bees die at 39. Sadly European honey bee doesn't know how to defend itself. Dave
  12. Trying to find the leak which is emptying the fuel tank on my husqvana 327 rj strimmer when left. Had the tank off assuming the leak was at the bottom as no fuel left. Couldn't find it! Common problem? Dave
  13. Will it run a splitter?
  14. Felt the cheer here in the west as well.
  15. Think you'll find it's been done. Will anyone else?
  16. This is typical forum stuff. A thread goes from a serious discussion to clearly rude replies and I've fallen into the trap. Hey ho.
  17. It contradicts your statement that if you don't drive for a living you don't need cpc. That's the confusion. Edited to correct rudeness my behalf
  18. I wouldn't say a farmer drove for a living yet example from the website says......... Driver E is a farmer. On an average of once a month, they transport some of their livestock to a local cattle market for auction. They need to have Driver*CPC*when doing this, as they’re not carrying materials or equipment for their use in the course of their work –they’re carrying cattle intended for sale.' Confusing huh? Dave
  19. Well a read of that link says to me if you're driving around selling logs you do need it. Their example is, ' Driver E Driver E is a farmer. On an average of once a month, they transport some of their livestock to a local cattle market for auction. They need to have Driver*CPC*when doing this, as they’re not carrying materials or equipment for their use in the course of their work –they’re carrying cattle intended for sale.' Dave
  20. Visan!
  21. I'm the mug that looks after a museum's tef20. It's a working exhibit but blimey I wish they'd learn how to work it!
  22. Traded mine and got good money. I mulch now instead!
  23. Option was to put in direct drive instead. I was looking at £500. Mine was 16 years old so lots fading on it. Dave
  24. Just scrapped my countax........hydrostatic failure.....
  25. Percentage of turnover.....? What a con. Accountancy work doesn't increase in line with turnover. It's like us charging more to fell bigger trees......oh....hang on.....
