This was an EU proposal in 2013, but has not been approved by the member states. No, there will be no MOT for trailers under 3500kgs mam in the foreseeable future.

There is an easy way around it, though a bit cumbersome: Search in google for " "Driver CPC" Arbtalk " as Google's mighty searchbots don't mind a three letter search term. This however is beside the point I was (in a very roundabout sort of way) trying to make: Replying simply with "search for it, plenty of threads on the forum already" doesn't always work...

Have you tried it? As I said, CPC is too short a search term, adding driver only means your search will give you al the results containing the term driver...

"CPC" is too short a search term to come up on the search...

The ones still attached to the branch would have been connected to the rest of the tree's vascular system and therefore dried out with it (ie completely and quickly). Fallen ones are sealed off so dry much slower? Just my guess mind, not learned or a biologist or nuffink.

Hey gents/ladies, I have some ash to cut in north Beds soon and it'll be for sale. There's maybe about 5-8t (ish?) There's four big trees, each at least 2ft dbh. (last saw these in winter so from a fairly rusty memory) It's near the villages of Thurleigh and Ravensden. Collection preferred but could deliver locally (15m max), count on £250 delivery cost for the lot though... Can't say when exactly just now as it'll depend on harvesting but soon. Message me (my phone is dead and the replacement on not here yet...). Cheers, Daniel

Why is that then?

I remember one of my neighbours getting a 8210, it was the biggest tractor for miles! Was a few years ago mind:sneaky2:

In our locality, the planning enforcement officers and the planning development officers are like worlds apart. We've had a visit from the enforcement team who showed up unannounced, overweight men in badly fitting leather jackets dropping the occasional "D'you remember when we had to close down so-and-so's business? messy that got...!" almost farcically desperately trying to assert some sort of authority. They insisted the activities we undertake at ours were of an industrial nature and therefore we must apply for change of use from agricultural. We maintain our activities are agricultural (we teach alternative agricultural practices and related skills etc). Then when we went to see the planning officers, they were kindness themselves and helpful well beyond the "call of duty" copying forms, helping us to fill them out, weeding out what is and isn't relevant etc. They told us we'd never need change of use as it was obviously just a diversification of our agricultural activities.... The next communication we had was the enforcement officers asking us (with very thinly veiled menace) why we hadn't applied for change of use yet and that we had 1 week to sort it or else... Went back to the planning officer who again confirmed we'd not need change of use. The enforcement officers are supposed to serve the need of the planning officers as far as I can work out the chain of command, "in the field" however it seems they act as quite differing organisations.

Will it fit through a standard 3ft garden gate?

Is a question that is quite irrelevant...?

Maybe if you were a bit more specific, you'd get some more useful replies? As it stands your question can be answered simply "yes" as somebody does know where you can find info on emissions in the arb industry.... What do you actually want to know though?

Well, he was on here (as in active on ArbTalk) last night... No Posts since April. All good feedback from other customers. His phone number is on his website, have you tried calling him?

If the tree has lived with this burden for the last decade, then lowering the soil level to it's previous height will probably do more damage than good. Removing the concrete (but be careful not to dig too deep, cosmetics are not too relevant if you're mulching over it anyway), feeding and mulching sounds good though. I've found compaction under concrete often not too bad as all too often the people that put it in cut corners on prep and just add another inch of concrete to compensate.

Same here, I shed a silent tear and went to sit with my (sleeping) children. As Steve says, I just didn't know what to say. Still don't think anything I say can help you but I hope you feel at least slightly supported by the many messages of support. Virtual Man-Hug, Daniel

The first issue that springs to mind with the use of "green manures" is that the use as you describe is dependant on the plants not completing their lifecycles but being ploughed in, sprayed off or crimped and oversown etc. Clover for example is only beneficial when it gets damaged through grazing, mowing etc and more so still when the whole plant is damaged by shallow non-inverting cultivation. Most other green manures I am aware of would require similar treatment to be of most benefit to soil life but this would not necessarily be beneficial to the tree?

Seen that, quite amazing. There's this too if you like sanding:

Unfortunate for you to get points and fined, seems like mr and mrs plod could have done better but" "I didn't realise my chipper was a trailer" seriously?

I think its for a boat.

On the front page, Forres would warrant a capital F. On your contact page your last name is Wakekley, on the other pages Wakeley. The formatting of the prices on the firewood pages is confusing. Some stuff about picture resolution as mentioned before.... P.S. I'm fairly certain it is compulsory for a business website to contain the address of that business.

Cheap battery chargers now often won't charge unless they are connected to a battery.... Any 12v/10a supply will do, this one will be plenty.

Because of the stripes on the lawn, the paving, the lights (I assume that's what they are) and the fact they've asked for a price for such a little job, I'd put £150 on it. I'd want to do it perfectly, not a single bit left behind etc so half a day.
