    I was interested in this, but it's sold now. Seemed a very good price. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221671593364?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    I'm going to assume they're rubbish then. If they were any good, then someone (Spud etc.) would have at least heard of them.

    Our kids savings are in F&C, they've done very well.

    Investment?

    You buy the bonds, which are then put into a monthly draw. if your number comes up you win. Bit like the lottery really, but you keep your bonds permanently, or until you choose to sell them again. So not gambling as such, it's saving, the gamble is in the return in prizes, rather than interest. Oh, and the odds of winning something are much higher.

    We took all of our money out of a savings account, and brought £30,000 in Premium Bonds, just as a safe experiment to see if we could improve our return, a couple of years ago. More than trebled it.

    They are Italian.
  12. Ash coppice showing symptoms. Sorry it's not a better picture. I'll see if I can find some better ones. Notice the dead section in the stem, with apparently healthy tissue above.
  13. It can be diagnosed at any time of year.

    Big bore cylinder bits, any good?
  17. BIG MAC! They do have a 99p range you know.
  18. Don't feel too bad. With Landies, it doesn't much matter if you lock them or not. About as secure as a wet paper bag.
  19. Christ! Valentines, I'd completely forgotten. Trouble is I've set the bar very high in the last few years. Last year. Long weekend in a posh boutique hotel. 2 years ago. Long weekend in Barcelona. 3 years ago. Little red MG. I'm gonna struggle to match that this year. Card and a bottle of Cava might have to do.

    In all fairness to the participants, I think it might just be a bored Friday night.

    We used to put Thunderflashes in to bags of flour, a thunderflash makes a pretty big bang, but put it into a bag of flour and ...................................WOW!

  24. I don't climb, but as a rule, the second a customer starts trying to spec a job, tell me how long they expect it to take or "make suggestions" about how to do a job. I'm out of there. There are some exceptions to this, but only with those with which I have a long standing relationship.
