Automatic all the way, especially for towing.

Not an honary mention for the humble stump grinder AKA the very expensive to repair fiber optic cable finder/gas main detector etc etc

Lord God! Somebody else noticed!

The daughters boyfriend brought me back a rather nice Buck knife from the States. I also got a "found" Mercator as above. But both knives are lock-blades, and I understood it was illegal to carry any lockblade in the UK. Unless specifically work related. By that I mean I always carry a penknife in my hip pocket, a tidy aluminium scaled Swiss Army "Officer" model I think it is. So would I "get away" with the lock-blade if stopped by a zelous PSNI Officier when out and about? Marcus

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? -

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.
