  1. Had to travel across some council ground about 3 years ago and had to get permission and it was granted with conditions, all vehicles tyres had to be disinfected when arriving and departing. Nothing about footwear or tools.
  2. Ask hire company if they do hire cover.
  3. If only a small 4x4 get your self a good wide fork and fetch it off by hand lot cheaper then tipper body.
  4. Pension fiddle because only probably been employed for a short time.
  5. Out with the old in with the new.
  6. Can not see the point when it reads, The Germans were automatically included in the mailout because German driving licences issued before 1999 include an entitlement to drive small- to medium-sized trucks of up to 7.5 tonnes. That's no different to old UK license.
  7. My cousin has use old rubber track off digger in jcb 3cx 4in1 bucket to clear snow and mud off the road..
  8. Anyone on here get there own supply of white diesel delivered and store in fuel cube. Been thinking its the way to go when use of red the arb is to stop in April.

WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Easy to cut down to suitable size and fit broom handle to the plastic head. Ideal for outdoor sports or farm shoe/boot scraper brushes ,fork lift brush. Blue Sweeping Brush Heads...
  10. Got asked by a customer about chipper for garden brash, anyone know which best to go for, as not used any got no idea myself. Would be hedge cutting, shrub prunings and odd limb.
  11. All this about lorry driver shortage in fuel industry, it doesn't suddenly happen unless someone in admin makes a big cock up with holiday time off.
  12. Still should not of been aloud to fill that many as not aloud to store that much, or carry it in a car.
  13. It was the BP Manage that started the ball rolling. If you can show business needs fuel you should be able to get more, and NHS workers.
  14. It make a lot of sense, people queuing and blocking up roads just to top up car and it will probably sit in drive for the rest of the week apart from popping kids to school just down the road with in walking distance.
  15. Had a customer a couple of years ago how said part payment would be cash rest bank transfer, not a problem i said. Job was done in two parts paid cash on first part then reduced work on second part so less to pay, was £550 only paid £500 into account message no answer landed up emailing with 7 days to pay. £50 IS £50
  16. Still got to lift it into powered barrow, places with narrow access we use trolley to get out wood in large lumps then pick up with tractor and timber trailer or just take small loader or digger and put it on truck.
  17. have you had any ongoing issues with the thumb? Only thing I get is a prickly sensation in were scar is, it's the tendon stitches that never desolve. Apart from not being able to bend tip back no other problems.
  18. Only pay £800 odd for all tree work limited to 90ft and fencing with 2m excavation with 10 million cover.
  19. Unless tree is of good size it will not stop a car, seen a VW golf cut an elm 18 inches across off at ground level which made a bridge for it to cross a ditch and land up 25m into field. As others have said may slow up car losing control but will send stuff flying. I now of an accident near me were car crashed into fence which killed passanger was questioned if fencing was suitable for that streach of road. So be careful what you do.
  20. When I had dressing changed on thump it was me how had to soak it and remove bandage not to put any healing tissue. Then when they replaced it put a fold in it so with plastic splint on it pushed on radial nerve in thump, hell of a painful.
  21. I used a grinding and sharpen company near me, then get a bench grinder and made a jig to sharpen my 150 blades. Always took a couple of pairs to be sharpened cost me £20.
  22. Isn't one tine straight and the other cranked and longer and only 6mm.
  23. Would grease all moving parts first and see. Use a couple of old farm trailers in the past that would take there time dropping greased pins and speeded job up no end.
  24. The tines aren't cheap unless someone has found supplier that is.
