  1. Worked today (Chainsaw shop) 90% of customers were domestic users. All leaning on the counter enjoying there day off. Had to keep asking them to stand back, some more than once even though there's a big sign telling them to. We only opened for our larger customers ( council/utilities etc) but yet they kept coming. Who knew chainsaws, hedge trimmers were essential goods!
  2. Your not the only one
  3. This is close to me 'Lorry load' of flytipping spotted at layby in Burnley WWW.LANCASHIRETELEGRAPH.CO.UK FLY-TIPPERS have dumped ‘lorry loads of bin bags’ at a lay-by in Burnley.

    Oops!

    She used to make chains herself so she knows their fine
  7. If you can get Echo. The shop I work at became a dealer back end of last year and their selling well. As for climbing kit, just do some research on what the customer needs. No point doing the ticket if your not going to use it. One of the blokes at work knows just about as much as me about the kit, but has never climbed and I've climbed for 20 years. Knowledge can overcome the experience in some of the kit, especially with new kit coming on the market as it does. If you were thinking of tickets to have some sort of experience you'd have to chipper, climbing, rigging etc.

    Washing machine has been making some noise over the last few days, and couldn't work out what it was. Anyway found the culprit
  9. Congratulations! Little Loris has just been discharged from NICU
  10. Cheers Paul. Chainsaws are in her blood. Her granddad owns the local dealers. I'll definitely be teaching her about trees as early as possible. Just as I did with Rowan
  11. Can you not get made from the reel at a dealer? I'm sure their Sugihara bars re-badged
  12. Good good. Hope that sorts it. I've managed to go for a pint now, as I can only stay 9 till 9
  13. Typed something I shouldn't of then meant to go to the mrs
  14. Cheers. Just need her to feed by herself now. How's yours doing Steve?
  15. Cheers. She's of the drip and oxygen now so all good. Still on NICU though. Think she's going to be called Loris which derives from Laurel supposedly or that's what's she's told me
  16. Only by a week. She's got fluid in the lungs, but I've been told all is well. Off to see her soon.
  17. Cheers Steve. Wish mine was a better one. I've only seen her for 5 minutes then was taken away in the incubator. Then the other half was taken into theatre for an op. I've been sent home for some rest, but it's not me that needs it!
  18. Congratulations Steve. Sorry to jump in on your thread. My other half had ours today. Congrats again
  19. I've just started working in a shop. We use Oregon grinders and use their disks. From what I've learn't you just need to clean the disk a couple of times, only takes 10 seconds if that. Then you get a nice clean edge
  20. Thank you. We mainly deal with Marlow off the reel, but Teufelberger would be good as we use them as well. We get stuff sent away at the moment and that needs to change. I've not really got the go ahead for this, but the owners son thinks it's a great idea and find out as much as possible. I'm going to the APF so can ask there, I would like to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later though
  21. This was just a part of it which was film early on Whaley Flooding M.FACEBOOK.COM This is the scene today in the Lancashire village of Whalley, where Storm Ciara has caused flooding. Flood and weather warnings remain in place...
  22. We just had flood plains here, no gates. Problem is they've been/are being built on hence the floods
  23. Thankfully not. I'm at the top end. Have mates down the bottom who were in the same state in 2015
  24. I can see my house on that picture
  25. Can anyone help please
