Where does the fear come in Stephen? and to quote a Golfer; "the more I practise, the luckier I get" So that only leaves skill.

But since most rivers are most constrained by towns and cities at their costal outfalls, and such development has walled and constricted the channels, which essentially cannot be changed to improve the flow, any improvements(like dredging to improve flows) upstream MUST cause insoluable problems downstream. So the flooding pain must be shared along the length of the river, not merely moved ever downstream, where there are ever-more houses.
-
There used to be water meadows alongside the rivers, in the flatter areas, these are now filled with houses. Not hard to see why these areas "flood" is it?

Well I will be dammned! I have used this method, (which I did not know had a name and imagined it to be highly unorothodox, to say the least) to remove Sitka and Birch that were shading aspiring Oak or Beech. Ya learn sommat new every day.

What!, have the modern Glasgie snowflakes started spitting the bitten off ears out? eh lad, in my day they fucking chewed down an ate them wi relish. Pussies.

Yup "safety in a Glasgow nightclub" sounds like as big an oxymoron as "Military Intelligence" or "fighting for peace"

Well, at least they were allowed to shoot back . . . P.S. The "get yer knob out with the lads an give it a tug, or two" Pure Public School stuff, from a couple of blokes I met in the OTC.

I too rate the Whitehouse service, phoned them about sommat and the phone was quickly answered by a knowledgable bloke who was most helpful, I also like their printed catologue(though I have not had reason to use it)

Conor, More details on the BMW connection please, only pure curiosity mind. P.S. Having considered a petrol engined pressure washer, and likely to be Chonda engined, Loncin was my preferred choice, and L & S Engineers do do parts for Loncin.

Eh! As in, where does the flue go that is any different to a floor mounted stove? -
Building renovation German style

On the face of it a hit, though some detail re the suspension arrangements and loadings would be nice? And a full height image?

When our children were in childcare, a proper offical(and quite superbly run) local creche, it was costing us just more than half of the Mrs.'s salary, and she was the major earner on a(some say underpaid) teachers wages.

And unmarried mothers . . .

Probably looking more for flow than ultra high pressure. OR Should I consider a Loncin(now branded Villers) powered petrol engined washer, since LS Engineering supply bits?
-
Not the manufacturers though, those in Government, bending to exaggerated environmental hysteria.

Timeshare for Travellers perhaps . . .

What do you use to store logs by the fire?
difflock replied to Rob_the_Sparky's topic in Firewood forum
I cant seem to enter text when editing a post with images in? Anyway, that box has lasted all autumn and winter so far, and it might even have done a turn last year, it gets taken to the log pile to be refilled, and is the perfect size to be carrying with the simple cut-out handle-holes provided. I keep a couple in reserve, snaffling any I see free in Tescos. -

I presume miscreants and pikies are not allowed to purchase these tools, 'cos it kinda makes a nonsense o the whole "anti tamper" thinngy otherwise. -
My single biggest regret was not designing the house around the stove/stoves, in that a centrally located stove in the spacious hall, would have comfortably heated the hall and upstairs, with another one for the kitchen living room space. A neighbour who started after us incorporated a fireplace in his hall, as soon as I saw his layout I realized my mistake or ommission. But one really needs a well insulated openplan house design for stove heating to work.

A wile-tidy supermarket sourced cardboard Banana box, photos to follow. With the debris from the stove and 5 dogs, the wife bes hoovering most mornings anyway. -
Weird arrangment, I had figgered the obvious reciprocating motion(the 2 big rams being a dead giveaway), but not the puzzling and unneeded sideways rotation. Anyway guarenteed to be very slow.

I will be sure to "quote" in future Dan.

You know, guessing the usual 60 minute ones ?
