  1. Place I used to get it charged £1.50 a bag. When I asked what size bag they said whatever you bring and I had some we used to cover pallets. You had to fill them yourself but they were true to their word and only charged the £1.50. I could only just lift it into the van.
  2. When a neighbour went to fetch a trailer tent it was 50mm hitch and would not fit on his 2" ball we had to swap it for a 50mm ball.
  3. It's not illegal but it is not classed as a secure solution. Get a plate with an eye that fastens on behind the ball or you can get one that clamps onto a swan neck.
  4. from me too.
  5. So if anybody's passing by ?
  6. Grouty in Porridge, he did play a good villain. 93 so he didn't do bad. Good clip of him and Fletcher on that page.
  7. Old slate laths with copper nails give nice blue green flames as well
  8. It's got good compression so it only leaves fuel or spark. I have had cdi breakdown before now but still run on low revs. Can you nurse it till it warms up then get a bit more life out of it or does it die completely when you try to rev it.
  9. Get some yoga mats from the pound shop and stick them in there, brighten the place up a bit.
  10. I think I'd have put the saw behind the tree
  11. A 4 year old was killed in 2007 in Heage by a runaway trailer with ineffective brakes. I tow a small unbraked trailer but fitted a heavy cable to restrain it just in case.
  12. I nearly got run over by a farmer while walking in the fields because I was not wearing Hi viz clothing. I don't know how they miss all those cows they are practically invisible without their vests on.
  13. Steel does it but only because of the iron content in it.
  14. I bought an early model one on gumtree because it was cheap. It's quicker to clamp than the workmate but the dual height workmate is better as a bench or table.
  15. Are Shackletons doing any harnesses or possibly a Stannah tree lift ?
  16. If it's still holding the bar and only leaking a bit of oil I think I would live with it.
  17. If it did you are in the wrong job
  18. No he's one letter away from George Forman though
  19. Unless you just crashed your car then it would be fully comprehensive is the best policy. Are you annoyed yet ?
  20. You lot need therapy.
  21. They left it like that because they know it pees you off Advantage is you can't fall down the ladder if you use it upside down;)
  22. Probably because he has nothing constructive to add, like us eh!

    Trousers

    Do you go that much faster in your new trousers ? I would compare Burtons to Saville Row for trousers I think
  24. Did you collect the mistletoe to sell at Christmas ? Nice video.
  25. That's what I thought and the picture at the end shows a back handle kick back warning Me too I like his tree work videos but that was a bit of a ramble.
