It’s easy for you to spout your guff too! Food bank use is on the rise because they are available, as Marcus says. People have their priorities all wrong! Food is far too cheap! The gov. should tax luxury items and fast food shite!

Steady on old chap....you almost sound like just another bitter socialist!

Read my post mate, I agree that the current subsidy system is wrong. You need to see farmings contribution beyond economics! The whole way that agriculture is supported needs a shake up. BUT the initial idea of subsidies - ensuring that there is sufficient affordable food to feed the country is still relevant. I'm not an advocate of globalisation, and getting ourselves in a situation where we are fully dependant on food imports is wrong from both a moral and security standpoint, and would leave us open to external pressure or worse. Without subsidies we will see the demise of even more small farms, and more huge intensive, US style units will become commonplace.

If the price for meat (and milk) was where it should be, maybe people wouldn’t eat so much. All farmers do is respond to the market (both global and domestic). I agree Kev, intensive farming methods do not help the bTB problem. Perhaps better regulation (farm audits/inspections) linked to environmental schemes/payments would/will help? Pretty sure reintroduction of apex predators (assume wolves?) for badgers would not work in UK outside of wild areas. I struggle to understand the hunting ban (beyond the misconception of it being the sport of the upper classes, and the extremely poor PR campaign by both hunts and the CA). In my experience and opinion it has certainly done little for the welfare of foxes. I have seen far more mangy malnourished foxes about, AND more importantly, generally less foxes since the ban (difficult to distinguish between healthy and sickly through a rifle scope at 200m). Unfortunately my local area is now regularly over-run with a new breed of vermin - aKa hunt sabs!

Will that charge even when the ignition is off?

You sir are a COCK!

Name rings a bell! Did he stay in a while and get WO? Vaguely remember seeing him somewhere many years after Brazen. Long shot... Did you do the 2000 Whistler exped? Yep Stux made WO2 and was at Culdrose too. Yes did the Whistler Jolly with the Mrs??
-
Thanks for that Kev, did u manage to get a replacement Hilux when yours went in? They have tried to fob me off with a Yaris in the past. Re the Brazen incident, yeah some lucky lads there[emoji15] Think a good buddy of mine was part it the detachment... Mark Stuckey? I was lucky to serve my sea time on one of the FIPVs ‘darn sarf’. Small ship routine with a WAFU skipper. Short draft but still long enough to get to know the chipping hammer... happy days[emoji106] Craig

Flail with hammers will cope with all that you mention, up to 50mm if you go slow. Y blades will give a better finish. Brambles, rushes and anything up to 25mm is no problem, I run a INO 1.5m flail on a 50hp Alpine and it copes admirably, just take it easy on the bigger stuff. No experience of chain swipe.

33.7mpg!!! Wow I struggle to get 28mpg in eco mode. Yeah I’m with Snows. I pointed out the camera issue when I had to take the truck in for a new battery (at 5 months!) which is a 2 day job (wtf). They assured me they would call when the camera heating shroud is in stock which will be about a week. That was 3 weeks ago! Nothing yet. The corrosion on yours is disturbing and hopefully a one-off. Get your chipping hammer out and get some red oxide on there shipmate ?
-
Have you had the annoying front camera issue sorted Kev? Mine is disabled as often as it’s working! Ali’s the handsfree mic is crap, sounds like you are underwater. Apart from that I’m pleased with the truck, shame the mpg doesn’t match the Toyota figures.
-
Thx for the advice men, brought a vapormatic VLB1079 - Heavy duty grease gun. See how I get on....
-
Another thumbs-up for the Dunsley Yorkshire boiler stove. Had ours for 5 years and very happy so far.
-
Let’s have some facts then.....
-
Any recommends on a decent grease gun for mini digger and tractor etc? Fed up with the usual crap that last 6 months and give up, got 3 knackered ones on the bench at the mo. Cheers in advance Craig

Can I just nominate the BBC cos it riddled with em? Laura Kuenssberg, Charlie Stayt, Tom Heap. Bunch of champagne socialist, guardian reading libtards! Feltz, Evans, Packham et al not any better. As for John Craven, he should take a leaf out of Micheal Parkinson's (little red) book and bugger off, oh and take the bloody countryfile calendar with him!
-
Chris Packham, what a co*k!
-
I have an Echo PB500, plenty of puff and reasonable pricing at £370.
-
Quite often the alarm utilises the interior light door switch as a sensor, see if you can pick up a replacement from a scrappy? Its a cheap try that might fix the problem?
-
It might work off the interior light switch?
-
All the best and a speedy recovery Goaty!👍

Ha AKA 'The Mucky Duck', Pompy was full of odd people in the 80's, most of them Matelots or Booties👍

The issue has now been fixed on the new Hilux.
