  1. Or maybe make some contacts with other local small tree companies, work as a subcontractor and work yourself up the ladder. No point spending 7k or so on a used chipper without knowing you've the work or other equipment to warrant the expense.
  2. Whilst I like your optimism, I don't think it'll save anything, generation wise anyone that left primary school before the 2000s had access to either free or cheap food. It was only after the 2000s when schools ripped out the kitchens for bought in food or even schools built entirely without kitchens. Look at most 40 year olds with kids they are obese, it was also ruined with the progressively dire lack of cooking classes in secondary school 2000-2010.
  3. Isn't the 37 a manual lever unlike the larger hydraulic ram ?.
  4. Why not start by asking for a quote from your current insurance.
  5. I wonder if the vets use the same labs as the dr's?.
  6. Unfortunately as an Englishman I can't run the risk of meeting a giant a top a beanstalk.
  7. I'm sure it's more about being made into parliamentary record, I'm sure whatever happens in the chamber is written down and remains unchanged forever. Which unlike say a newspaper interview is able to get twisted, ammended or just misquoted.
  8. When they started free prescriptions in Wales it was with the best of intentions, they even advised people not to get free paracetamol etc. Think even within the first year that had gone to the wall.
  9. The pharmacist still needs paying tho. Must be a reason why they keep closing, even with all the old folks home that must take up 75% of their business.
  10. Looks like a v twin Briggs. But a little Google says Kohler command 27hp
  11. They're certainly glossing over the 12v battery and the fact the fuel tank is external to the toolbox design.
  12. Are the internal baffles buggered causing back pressure?.
  13. Air Diesel 8KW 12V Night Parking Heater LCD Remote Car Truck RV Travel Boat Home WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Fuel Consumption: 0.1-0.24 (L/H); Fuel Type: Diesel Only. The 12V 8KW diesel air heater achieves rapid heating even... Or similar, atleast you get buyer protection via eBay, or via Amazon.
  14. That's pretty much what I did, fitted a longer exhaust just so I could get it though a 19" thick wall. I start it up and leave it on the lowest tick over, running all day so around 1kw but could ramp it up if I was feeling flush.
  15. Do you have a bottle already as they need a deposit. 15kg at a minimum to make it cheaper, but condensation will be an issue especially if burning inside without an exhaust. Did use a torpedo one when fitting a boiler years back, surprisingly thirsty as it ate a full 15kg over about 6 hours heating a garage without doors.
  16. Someone sent me this last night, so if you hate gritters in Scotland you know where they all are. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/92a86955ebce4fdaa1b8c8798d33697a
  17. Red is around 80p Inc 5%, white is 1.55 Inc 20%. So you'd be daft to use white, especially if your garage sells red. Or get a small bunded tank and buy in the summer, it was 63p delivered.
  18. When you buy fuel it'll get recorded and no doubt linked to your reg number for tax purposes. Red is taxed at 5%, which begs the question. Do you put red or white in your diesel chipper?.
  19. It's a heater, 35 Sec heating oil is red diesel.
  20. Get yourself a 5kw vevor diesel heater. Mine is exhausted through a brick wall, for less than £100 on eBay. I should say as long as your running on red it's cheaper than electric.
  21. Erm, just because they were good eating doesn't make them good time birds.
  22. Probably stun them like chickens would be the obvious way. I wonder if it's halal?. I could have gone flight of fancy, little executioner hats and alike, but anything with wings flaps and becomes seriously dangerous.
  23. It's an international company, which you can't buy shares in even though they own 10 of our wind farms. Granted you'd say it's socialism helping it's population, yet the Chinese state much of our infrastructure, yet their country is still classed as developing world. So that falls a little flat.
  24. Do agree Sweden has it right to a degree, but at the same time it's paid for through government owned infrastructure. Vatternfall being an example, 21 million SEK operating profits.
