Cant figure out how to access the £ symbol on me Yankee spec phone Sur.

As cheap as that, wow. Genuinely, by most NI standards, well local bars are still generally $4.00 or the right side of $4.00. Holiday places and Belfast easily $5.00+

Cough, cough, this does NOT apply to the tight-fisted Ulster-Scots Presbyterians . . .

Having somewhat bemusedly watched, guessing experienced knowledgeable staff from a reputable manufacturer struggling to demonstrate their firewood processor at a Jas P Wilson open day many years ago, now struggling is perhaps a bit strong way of saying it, but they spent a LOT of their time with the covers lifted to clear stuck logs and blocks, bearing in mind the albeit somewhat heavier feedstock did not look THAT misshapen, at all. Hmmmm I thought, def needs fed with telephone pole type logs.

I attempted this with council beavertails and a especially purchased BJ trailer sans front crib. Seemed like a practical proposition to me. Like if we were OK driving up the beavertails tipper from the ground, surely it should be at least as safe driving up a less steep tailramp from the bed of the trailer behind. NOPE! FFS! But whadda ya know, I saw a very similar yoke somewhere recent being used with zero issues. Good luck, Marcus

small yellow fruit and visually looks like a plum bush=greengage perhaps? -
King Charles, like the Spaniel's. Oops.

These websites simply reveal how much the "intelligentsie" of the left/socialist/markist/leninist types hated Boris, cos being smart and using those smarts to mislead folks is their particular gig. How very dare he! I am already seeing evidence of these belittling campaigns against the new PM et. al.

And how is that much different from how our Politicans live, incl the Labour ones, the Kinnocks for instance. Wealth is near as easy lost or frittered away as it is earned by savvy entrepreneurs.

Ash dieback effect on firewood quality
difflock replied to Welsh cleaning services's topic in Firewood forum
https://uk.linkedin.com/in/oliver-walston-33a02613 Not sure if this is the elder, or the younger. But the sprog was well bred offen his da. Btw. I believe I recall OW said his grandfather returned from America with the gold or hard cash to buy the 3000 odd acres. -
Ash dieback effect on firewood quality
difflock replied to Welsh cleaning services's topic in Firewood forum
As per Oliver Walston, an otherwise very intelligent and well doing bloke. Who "invested" in sheep some 40 year ago, when it was the "no-brainer" thing to get into. And bailed out a couple o years later, reflecting that a local and wise old Shepard had advised him," that a ewes only ambition in life is how to die asap" -
Fornicate that for a mismanaged game of energy producing soldiers! And "some" folk STILL want to nationalise energy production! FF'sS!
-
What is their excuse for increasing the standing charges, just because the cost of the energy has increased, since I imagined the standing charge was to cover fixed installation costs? And, sigh, Nationalisation, sigh, remember I worked as a Supervisor in Local Government and witnessed appalling laziness, inefficiency, ineptitude and waste. Gawd help us is all I can think.

A 2250 litre fill of oil lasts us more** than a year, say £2000.00 per annum Our last quarterly electric bill was £200.00, so say £1,000.00 per annum. So 3k a year. plus endless "free" firewood. **I just checked, after a fill which brimmed the 500 gall tank last Sept, we still got 275 gall left. Not running any upstairs radiators since the daughter moved out obviously made a significant difference. Btw the negligible oil burned to heat the domestic hot water over the summer makes the capital costs of installing solar panels hard to recover imho.

Is it possible to "sleep over" in the car park, or does one need to leave the site before finding somewhere to kip down?
-
When I typed in Cairnryan to Alcester, Google choose to route us across and down the M1, presumably to avoid the nightmare that Birmingham is, or was, some 30 year ago, and I can only imagine the traffic has got worse. P.S. The fornicating ferry is quoting £350.00 and that was for the cheapest tickets! FFS!

Considering going this year, so do most folk tend to avoid the Thursday, or are the stands still being finalized on Thur? guessing Sat would be the busiest day, so was thinking Thur and Friday was all. Marcus. I also missed the camping option. Bugger.

Not very hidden agenda to get more and more state bale outs...
difflock replied to Squaredy's topic in General chat
All local hedges are hanging heavy with blackberries, after a glorious hot sunny week of weather. Yet I have seen zero impoverished food hungry people picking them, and these blackberries are only a 1/4 mile from the village. But local foodbanks cannot cope. Someone help me understand this paradoxical conunderum? -

Looking for stove fan recommendations
difflock replied to slicendice73's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Surely natural convection currents will move more air, than any affordable to run fan? When we lived in the living room, if I were sitting in the bay window, about 5 m away from the stove, I could feel the draught of warm** air falling down and recirculating. Or at least that was my preception. It could have been nearing 30 deg at the ceiling so the air was still "warm" despite being cooled by the glass. And my thinking would be to fit a ceiling fan to drive the heat back down from the ceiling/prevent stratification. -
We got our quarterly bill just lately, nominally £200.00 for the 3 summer months. Which worked back to about 400W/Hr I dont think it is much worse in the winter months, since we dont use electric heating. Hoping to make it through the winter months wthout buying any more kero. Fingers crossed.
