  1. I bet you could fell trees of at least a pint on your old cert.
  2. I was talking about crayfish.
  3. But is it a caution with equivalent legal power to one the police or CPS can give or is it just something called a caution?
  4. What are we arguing about?
  5. I'll give you £100 if you can find out.
  6. It's a bit arbitrary anyway. Where do you measure from and to? They never stick out of the powerhead what they're nominally sized. And then dogs eat into length. An 18" with big dogs is probably actually 15".
  7. Yes and no but mainly no. They knack trees, which is bad in my eyes. If reds knacked trees as badly, I wouldn't mind either way. I still don't know whether they do. Most people reporting things about squirrels have a bias.
  8. Does the whites being driven out matter though? What were they doing that was so worth preserving?
  9. Do councils have cautioning powers for TPO offences? A proper caution that goes on your proper record like the filth can give, not some lesser or non-existent legal thing that calls itself a caution. Are (criminal) TPO offences brought as private prosecutions by councils or do they go through the usual Crown Prosecution Service/Procurator Fiscal channel?
  10. So signal crayfish are prolific, easy to catch and delicious. Failing to see problem.
  11. No meat on them but they’re easier to pluck than a pheasant.
  12. Sulphur tuft looks right. Just as well I forgot to put them in dinner. Will pick one carefully tomorrow and get a shot of the gills. If they're free, what else might they be?
  13. I'm bang into flatbreads at the moment. Flour, salt, dash of olive oil, water. From start to putting them in a dry frying pan is about ninety seconds. Hot enough and they blister up lovely.
  14. Growing on a chestnut stump on my driveway.
  15. Put the last bit on a waist height block (carve a V or put four big nails into flat endgrain). Cut the last standard length off it and knock that onto the floor with the other standards. Handball the one irregular into a box.
  16. I’ve often thought that would be a great use for them. How good is the logger residue to drive on compared to a brash mat or woodchip?
  17. I’ve always thought a gardener is an ideal groundsman. Final cleanup, moving and replanting stuff in the drop zone etc.
  18. Before thinking about new ideas that will take up your time, ask yourself whether what you’ve got so far is working as well as it could? Your pension for example. Is it going into some stock market lottery that you might (or might not) one day get a return from or have you already got it sipped and earning now?
  19. Interesting you call them footies. That’s slang for soccer here. We call foot ascenders footjobs.
