    Pyrolysis or incineration, unfortunately people are deluded with the recycling plastic idea which is a massive con. Whilst yes some, are reusable I think it's something like 90% aren't and we should just incinerate or let's say cofire to make it more palatable to those green groups. Burn the waste plastic and go back to glass whenever possible.

    Pelosi and Brandon probably just think they're going out for a meal and got the reservations mixed up.

    That strangely sounds like a decent argument for all tap water to contain birth control and then heavily tax bottled water. If you can afford the bottled water you can have a kid.

    Stubby, do you know who the manufacturer of the strimmer head is ?.

    As a farming type, there does need to be a reality check to all the eco doom mongering spouted and regurgitated by Gretta. I'm somewhere in the eco middle, but turning off the lights and shivering in a corner isn't going to save anything, we can't even huddle around and old incandescent bulb for heat anymore!. Build or atleast restart nuclear including Hinkley immediately, in the long term close gas power stations and return to being self sufficient using North sea gas. As a thought we as a country have over 139 tons of plutonium at sellafield, literally gathering dust and we've just closed the fuel recycling facility!.

    Or speak to the farming neighbors, I'm sure most would jump at the chance of a flail job in-between other jobs.

    Yeap, the old smell test 🙂

    It doesn't work like that on old vehicles, the vin plate/v5 is the valuable asset, obviously you pay more if it's functional Vs a baggy with just a vin plate. In the old days nothing was really traceable or serialised, even engines were just sand casting numbers. Which is why with the vin details you can apply for the paperwork, number plate etc. Whilst it would be technically possible to clone the details, it would flag up as a sale once the DVLA get informed.

    Whilst I don't doubt the reputed accuracy of the German or Austrian record keeping. If it's anything like our car industry at the time they'll have fitted whatever they could find to do the job 🙂

    If you're mate gets an MOT from then, your MOT has all the vin details listed so it's probably legally enough for them 🙂.

    Generally, those sold on eBay would be sold as show plates. Whilst they are a number plate the police and MOT tester can fail them, as they usually don't have the BS Standard logo, supplier details etc.

    From what I've always been told about old vintage cars, the vin plate was the important part as every other part is completely replaceable. As in theory you can build a car up from that vin plate, so would make sense to auction just the vin without the rest of the rot box. I think that's how jaguar, built a limited run of high end 60s cars, they had issued the vin numbers but never built them physically due to some issue at the time.

    Whilst they aren't politicians, I would still trust them over rishi. Between him and his wife that's 730million.

    On an old thread an ibc of loose green beech was 500kg and was hung off a scale.
  18. GarethM
    I think the key question should be is it lifting green firewood, if so it's a definite no on a 350kg machine. The 350kg lift at the headstock, would equate to around 250kg pallet lift. As an IBC is 1.2m3, so over a ton when wet, your going to need a decent forklift or tractor loader.

    Jokes???

    GarethM replied to brownie1964's topic in The Lounge

    Wouldn't that be something of an own goal ?

    Don't think you can contaminate steel production, it's more down to who is making it and to what price.
  21. GarethM
    Erm, what!.
  22. GarethM
    Does that Torx driver come with a matching set of long handle forceps to pick up the lost screw that inevitably follows ?

    Bitcoin or using gold coins isn't exactly a practical solution either, nor is resorting to using the US dollar like Zimbabwe. Currency was created so we didn't have to lug around bags of gold or silver, hence the I promise to pay the bearer on demand phrase on our notes. That was one of the advantages of each country using a different currency in the past. A country's debt altered the rate, you can't do that with something like the euro to any degree which hasn't helped inflation. To a certain degree the real problems probably started when foreign companies started buying UK debts to make a profit, historically all debts were kept in house and so any profit also did.

    Cracking value for money, even delivered with the duties it's around £1.5k. Not sure how badly the tracks would damage the grass. What about a electric Flymo on a rope instead of 2 stroke, you can atleast collect the grass clippings.

    Think you'll be best making a tip site listing or speak with your local tree companies.
