I once had a load of pallets that had originated in New Zealand, they were made of some extraordinarily nice hardwood. Probably made from offcuts from a sawmill Point being it could have come from anywhere in the world and be some exotic hardwood that nobody on here has ever seen.

Until you realise the plastic used in an ibc is impermeable to moonbeams.

Not according to the dictionary it isn't.

I used to do a lot of turning this sort of shite Into this kind of stuff. Clarke 205TE is what I used. Still have it and still use it but for much more agricultural type of welding these days. .6 wire and Argoshield Lite gas from BOC. I think if I was doing much these days I would be looking at R-tech welders but a good used 205TE would not be a bad choice.

As you have already bought it you may as well just take the sellers word for it. I once bought an Ifor Williams that I later suspected may have been stolen, deeply regretted being so naive as I would never buy anything I believed to be stolen. I think karma must have got me as by time I had fixed everything a brand new trailer would have been cheaper. It sounds like you bought it in good faith so leave it at that and carry on. It is people that knowingly buy stolen stuff that are the scummy ones, they are as bad as or maybe even worse than the ones doing the stealing.

At least one reversing light must be fitted and in good working order otherwise it's a MOT failure but only on vehicles registered after 2009. edit: UK

Drove a horse and caravan from Bentham Fair to Chester single handed, took 2 days (100 miles). No idea what the rush was.

That's fierce. You will notice a lot more damage in the days to come too unfortunately. It will leave marks on leaves and shoots that haven't shown up yet. Didn't have it here, two big thunderstorms passed either side of me but nothing more than a bit of rain. Have suffered tremendously in the past, especially on my apples. Doesn't do rhubarb crops much good either.

Air fried? Works well

Windfalls aren't great to start with. They have fallen off early for some reason, usually due to insect or fungal damage or maybe an over burdened tree (very rarely due to wind). As they are early they are very under ripe and have little sugar content and have yet to develop their true flavours. I would think mixing them with ripe fruit after freezing them is just going to bring your quality down. No harm in giving it a go but don't risk too much of your good fruit before figuring out what it will end up like.

ps. BASC is worth a look on the discount front but you do need to have been in for 12 months first. Again, I don't think it is worth it.

Not nessy celery. The dealer is usually much more interested in finance. I have heard there is a fair bit of stock about that they are trying to shift so who knows. I also heard Elvis was alive, the earth is flat and the weather is controlled by the government. Personally I don't think any modern vehicle is worth the money and the government couldn't organise a pissup in a brewery never mind control anything.

Sounds like a good mate 👍

I fitted one of those grippy ends on mine, have to say it was a game changer as far as I was concerned. For hard to get at nipples taking them out and replacing with an angled one often helps. For my next trick I am going to try the Fuchs screw on cartridges as mentioned above, work out a bit dearer but if it saves all the mess when changing them it might well be worth it.

I was asked about a month ago how my apple crop was doing, I just said it was looking good and I was about halfway through picking them. Their response was to say well done. My missus put them right at that point.

Got any left?

Can an Elm survive Dutch Elm disease?
Peasgood replied to AnnieDee's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Even when they are leafless and dead from DED they take a long time to actually fall down. It would stay up for many years causing no more risk than any other tree. Tell them to bugger off and you will do it when it is dead if it ever happens. -
I remember a lot of folk having similar in their coal bunker for breaking up the big lumps. I have always known such things as coal hammers.

I wouldn't like to use a billhook in anger without the tang being fastened to the handle in some way. As said, this is normally by peening it over a washer or by riveting through. They are particularly prone to slipping out during use, especially if the handle gets dried out. I recently bought a new handle off Ray Isles and iirc it even came with the washer. Mine too was a bit short so I carefully heated the tang and drew it out on the anvil, I have welded a bit of rod on if necessary in the past.

Might be worth getting an exorcist in too once you've done all that.

Cut it down and burn it would be my suggestion. You should burn the bits you cut off at the very least really. Disinfect whatever you use to cut it too.

It does look more like fireblight than blossom rot to me.

If I said OK, I will go and plant a few acres of apples to do my bit it would be 5 years from now before I picked a meaningful crop. By that time he quite possibly won't even be a politician any more. If he said he would guarantee any growers a price that should give them a profit he could be drowning in apples. He won't, we can't. It doesn't take a genius to figure out this country is going to be very hungry in the coming years. It actually scares me as a lifelong fruit and veg producer how bad this supply situation actually is.

It is very simple and obvious where to open it, I just know this is going to sound rude but it is not meant to be, if you can't figure out how to do it you probably shouldn't hire it. How would you know if it was sharp enough without using it? I can see this one isn't particularly sharp looking but I wouldn't have known until trying it as I have little- no experience of them.
