I reckon the small stuff you're talking about is the hardest to dry. Good luck. I hope I'm wrong.

Yep. They dry badly. Net bags of 3" to twigs went mouldy for me. Trimmed out bigger stuff might be better. Milling scabs would fine I reckon. Straight into stackable supermarket shopping delivery crates would be one way of doing it. Depends on your arrangements and appetite for handling/moving things. I suspect if you had a drying floor available you wouldn't be asking us.

More expensive to not buy.

The 40v (xgt?) version comes in a bundle with 3 batteries and a charger for £500. So yeah, you’re right basically. £500 is tabloid pricing.

Don’t bother if you meant a 240 ac small workshop one. I know what they look like.

What’s it called?

A 12v one? Got any links?

In fairness I've been wanting to buy into a proper battery system for a while for other tools. The cost seems much less offensive when you're looking at the ability to add a quality rattler or something to existing batteries for not much.

Faaark.

I can't see the price of your one. And do you you mean that your one will do what I want or the one I posted in the opening post will do what I want?

That looks good. Anyone used one for heavy duty stuff (like caked-on, oily sawdust)? The YouTube videos are mostly of women and poofs blowing dry concrete dust.

You need that quad bike or jet pack.

12v Air Compressor | Mtbvans WWW.MTBVANS.CO.UK Inflate your tyres with ease from the comfort of your van with the 12v air compressor. Ideal for popping tubeless tyres onto the bead or for quick and easy tyre inflation and pressure checks... A convenient kit but doesn't look especially industrial. Will it be up to blowing out saw air filters, oiling holes and side cover shite in the side of the van? Is there a better way of doing it for about the same money?

I know. I was being generous.

And you can’t think of the workforce as just your immediate contacts and neighbours. There’s a broad and terrifying spectrum of retards out there and they have national insurance numbers.

Slightly unfair. If it’s just weeding, grass and hedge cutting, taking machines to the shop if they need servicing and a bit of Googling how to grow plants then yeah, 19/20 could do that well enough. But now say you’re expected to change oil on a petrol ride on and spark plugs and recoils on hedge cutters and take charge of the dynasty dahlias that great great grandfather got from the Galapagos with Darwin. A disappointing proportion of the workforce would start to break/kill things, even with YouTube. Now the stately home, open to public, NT type gig. Managing paid staff and volunteers. Tractor, digger, quad bike mechanics. Sourcing ice for the icehouse, dealing with the events people who are putting fairy lights and a sound system in the orangery, a boy has fallen down a well you didn’t cap. The lady of the house has increasingly wild whims and you can’t satisfy them all. The lady of the house is now Uncle Monty from Withnail and I. Etc etc. How many can hack all that? It’s not 95%.

Arbtalk is brilliant. Every time I think about getting into forestry, I get reminded not to. Must have saved me a fortune.

Watches are the worst. People will have six dive watches, all basically the same, none meeting ISO 6425 and usually none that will ever be taken diving.

@Chris at eden Have you got any course material/notes from your interview training?

There's THE caution and then there's A caution. THE caution is the particular wording ("You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned...") that a copper must use when arresting, interviewing etc. It's the 'reading you your rights' thing. Known as Miranda in the US. The requirement to use it is in PACE and the wording (changes slightly every now and again) is in the PACE Codes of Practice, probably G (arrest). A caution is a relatively light punishment for a criminal offence. Offender coughs to whatever he did to avoid a trial. It's a black mark that shows on things like DBS checks and firearms certs checks and it has implications for things like giving evidence in court, probably something like the other side's lawyer is entitled to bring it to the attention of the bench/jury to make them seem less trustworthy as a witness. I've been rather lazy and not looked it up but I suspect they're made into a particular legal thing in somewhere like one of the Criminal Justice Acts, Police Acts, Rehab of Offenders Acts, LASPO, PACE or some similar catch-all act.

I bet you could fell trees of at least a pint on your old cert.

I was talking about crayfish.

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?

What are we arguing about?
