As a gifted Joiner, now in his late seventies, and had started his career housebuilding, was in the habit of saying; "Hard work was never easy". That work looks to be proof of this adage. m

I could introduce you to my Wife? But I think its just her Osteo Arthritis. m

Shelf life is NOT an issue. But anyway, despite knowing bought bread is "full" o preservatives, surely real bread should keep, dry out yes, but not "rot". Then breadcrumb it , make Croutons, or toast it? PS In wor house a smidgen of blue-mould is not unheard of. Best eaten with Blue cheese wot left the shop as Cheddar or perhaps Brie.

With a Panasonic Breadmaker. Wife bought hersel one a few weeks ago. it is simply stupendous the difference in "real" bread. The simplest meal becomes an absolute treat. Poached eggs on buttered bread, Cheese toasties , Soup (home made of course) with bread. Yada Yada Yada. This from someone who has been fed the best of Organic wholemeal from Sainsburys Supermarket. etc etc Mind 800g each loaf has 30 to 50 pence worth of flour alone in it (bought in the biggest bags too) Old Mr Montgomery who drove the bread cart when I were a nipper 45 years ago, said even then, of the "Pan" Loaf "This shite's not bread, its only stiffened water" He warnt wrong, even away back then. Cheers M

Well I would, without a doubt, as long as I owned the house, and shed. PS bin posted before

Humph!! Beauty is in the eye of this beholder.

tsk tsk! Gentlemen, Ah has drive one, albeit the earlier petrol engined varient. A magnificent piece of engineering all round, regardless of being on the off road tank course or on the public road. An the way them big golf ball sized knobbed colour coded diff-lock knobs slid into engagment "just so" as I powered up a short but very steep greasy slope. Sex on a stick Sur! Der "G" Wagen Van sulked most all the way home.:lol: m

Nothing an Afganistan tour wouldnay sort oot! I am sure they would all be available from the local brazzar.

And? There was an accident? I presume not, but why should we presume there should be? Having formed an opinion that most Polish workers who came to the UK, were competent in their choosen fields. PS About 1981 the MT Sergent asked who could drive an HGV, I said I could, he agreed and I did, including it must be said a spot of highway driving I had not anticipated. But by then I had gotten the hang of the rather sharp air brakes. Needless to say I did not actually have an HGV Licence. Albert, the MT Sergent, was properly apoplectic when I returned, quite safe and immoderatley pleased with myself. The pax in the back were not so impressed!

With this post I wholly agree. Erm:001_tt2: Ah tink hits "illiterate":lol::lol:

Same as the routine inspection of lift chains in forklifts. Inspector hmms and haws and condemms they on a yearly basis anyway, regardless of actual use or wear. Or a Council Food Safety inspector inspecting a freezer full of salmon after a power failure. The top-most salmon were still frozen solid enough to drive nails. Sucks teeth, looks thoughtful, then condemms them all anyway. "x" years of Uni training, why bother.

(i) It Looks like Poclain track motor turned into a winch. (ii) I can only imagine the third top mounted pipe is indeed a bleed off pipe. Connect the other two "paired" pipes to the spool connections and see what happens, it should obviously turn in either direction dependant on oil flow direction, place the open end of the presumed bleed off pipe in a 20 l jar just in case. Hmmm? Not perchance a hyd speed control function, acting on the swash plate angle, this should only need a single pipe, I imagine. but, if indeed it is, the motor should still work, at I am guessing, its slowest speed:confused1:

^ This I like ^

Quite quite wrong Steve, we are merely "born equal in the eyes of the Lord", (or whatever God you worship, or not) After that it is the result of both nature (genetic makeup) and nuture(education) We are emphatically all different, to a greater or lesser degree. Some are brighter. Some are better physically coordinated. Some are bother brighter and better coordinated. Some are very intellectual but physically uncoordinated. Some are unfortunately somewhere else on these spectra?(spectrums=spectra?) Have I mentioned Kruger and Dunning recently? regards, Marcus

Exactly!! Will "the organisation" listen to such reasonable arguments. Answer NO! they rather spend others tax dollars on "laying-off" the risk on an outside organization, as opposed to making safe reasoned pragmatic decisions themselves. That would imply they were actually responsible for goodness sake.

Mat, I will not (nor cannot) argue with that account. Howerver to digress (at least apparently) We had a very very good (despite my yawning apprehension) "lone Working/lone worker" training session a couple of weeks ago. Presented by a W.H. who spends most of his time briefing briefs, in respect of claims against employers, or indeed probably in respect of advising claimants also. He absolutly knew his stuff, and presented it most clearly. BUT What struck me was the number of times he put his fingers to his temples and said "THINK" this, your brain, is the most powerful tool you possess to ensure your own safety. Iffen that "engineer" hadda "thought" about the risk/hazard, he would NOT have stuck his hand into a guillotine, without first ensuring the power was properly LOCKED off, or the mechanism mechanically immobilized. An electrical engineer, who worked on construction sites once told me that despite what anyone told him about cables not being "live" he habitually shorted them to Earth, just to be sure.

So is it "safer" to work strimming a bank "downstream" of a parked van with load n loads of flashing beacons, as I have been told. Or my contention is, it is way safer to allow the drivers, approaching on the same side as the workers, to clearly observe the workers, protected by a row of cones, rather than swerving round the parked vehicle, possibly/probably in the face of oncoming traffic, unaware and unknowing that a worker may be working in the lee of the vehicle? In the 30mph limit just across from a horrondously busy filling station. Safety dictates the grass should remain uncut, UNLESS, traffic control is put in place, to strim 20 or 30m of bank. Which would cause constranation and amusement in the local community. But strictly under the 15 min exemption, NO such precautions are needed. Except setting out the signs n cones will expand the task to more than 15 minutes:lol: But if the erercise is repeated on a weekly basis? Are they? Hindsight is ALWAYS 20-20, espc in the eyes of senior staff.

OK Install a "faggot" burner. Faggots comprising bundled thin branchs. Sorry, but actually "bumping" this thread for your benefit :001_tt2:

Were they pre-occupied with their presence at LAMMA? perchance?

I could not agree more.:blushing::blushing: OUR particular LA cannot, nor will-not accept there IS a difference, easily observable to those of us with the nous.

I am aware of all of the above btw, but Govt H & S Officers tend to be obsessive about paperwork, crossing "i's" n dotting "t's", not "achieving output", and have NO pity for the poor trees felled to make ALL the necessary paper. I attempted to process paperwork on a guy who carried a newly filled with petrol 20litre Jerry can, across the yard, literally, and I MEAN literally with petrol splashing about his feet. He apparently had not noticed. And attempted to make several excuses. The lid was not "latched", nor was there a rubber seal in place, despite me having brought 10 or 20 back from the War and Peace show. I was ignored. I was "picking" on the poor man.
