That says something about the profitability of growing food nowadays. When I started work I would often see a Bedford MK lime spreader on the road to and from the water works, collecting lime which came up from the aquifer with the water, or spreading it in a field.

I'd guess sorbus too but aria, whitebeam

I don't normally allow myself to indulge in the personality's of politicians but this one infuriates me, how can a religious bigot be involved.

I admit to a bias as I blame american quasi diktats for a lot of the problems in the middle east and the problems with our economy in the post war years. Yes the war would not have been won without them but they benefited hugely from the Marshall plan where they hung UK out to dry because we elected a what they considered was a socialist government.

When was that then? It was never put to the test after 1945 and then it had taken a direct attack on them to commit troops.

Pussy moth cocoon? We really need an etymologist to answer

So where does it sit in the range of saws or is it just for next to the chipper? You cut 3 logs on the video but would it cut half a cubic metre bulked on your 300Wh battery?

So that's the piston but no rings showing? If that's the actual cylinder bore the scoring looks bad, more akin to having sucked something hard in

It normally means a slight leak in the heating circuit, often only visible around a radiator tap gland as a faint greenish stain. The heat of the water having evaporated the leak before it drips.

Yes I drink the Guiness if I am trying to be sociable

I knew they used lead acetate in wine but assumed it was to sweeten. The early tinned foods were soldered with lead and it caused a lot of poisoning of sailors and Scott's missiom to south pole IIRC

So true So true . The safe system of work (RAMS) that we saw was often 100 pages and supposed to be issued a day prior to work. In practice it was given to the person in charge (Company Obligatory Safety Scapegoat) when he collected his truck to drive the men to a site. When I was first briefed on HSaW the bloke from HSE said the risk assessment should fit on an A4 piece of paper and be read to the workers before starting work but that was in the mid 80s

This is true of many technological advances, initially there is little uptake because of the expense, then a few people with borrowed money and little to lose buy into it. Many fail but the technology doesn't go away so a new batch of entrepreneurs acquire it cheaply, they now undercut the previous businesses in the field who pack up. Look at how harvesters took over in the forestry world. The winners are not the users of the technology but the sellers of it.

They were wrong, it was bowel cancer 😃

I identify with your earlier post. I know nothing about 6G but have learned to dread seeing the 5G signal on my phone as it hangs, whereas 4G is faster than I need.
