I've driven a few fully recyclable battery vehicles in my time, lead acid forklifts and milk floats, which are pretty much fully recyclable almost limitless!. This new lipo types are not, regardless of the chemistry and that's long before you get to the rare earth metals in the motors.

Me thinks it's an advert for not giving the National Trust a penny. We spent 300k on one solitary oak tree, but we've a forest of the buggers out the back.

I thought you were the bus driver?.

My heritage has zero impact and I'm not ashamed to like the union flag, I won't be exchanging it for the horrible EU abomination. I'll get my shot glass or will Mr Creosote need a large bucket for your many tears next week ?.
-
Maybe if the Donald wins we could get all the lefty's to cry into the grand canyon. Surely there are enough of them to atleast dampen the parched soil ?.

And how much is a new one?

Seeking advice on best tool to deal with bramble infestation
GarethM replied to jonrec's topic in Landscaping
Half a hectare is just over an acre, goats would be better as they'll eat everything including anything invasive. -
Bingo, my thoughts exactly. I've trees older and larger in fields with livestock, pragmatic is the key. If something falls off you tidy it up but you don't start messing and calling in specialists to mess with the roots.

Low tech, get a few guys to lift it up whilst you press the up button. Once up made sure it's chocked!. The pump on most doesn't run when coming down, it's just opens the solenoid valve and lets it's flow under gravity back into the tank.
-
If the trucks running and it's connected directly to the battery then it shouldn't have a problem providing the pump is running. It could be the hydraulic cylinder seals I guess, but I'm sure the hydraulic guys could test all that for you for next to nothing. Is there a manual pump ?
-
Pump would be my first guess, probably worn out the internal seal as it's probably gravity down. Don't think I've seen one with a double acting setups connected.

Plus the almost inevitable fire before or during the planning application for 500 homes. We have it around these fireproof mills, they were built Fireproof. Yet mysteriously have a fire and need to be knocked down as they're unsafe!.
-
Yeap, the council love to green light such things because it's more council tax. Whilst making simple rebuilds almost impossible due to paperwork and environmental bs. I don't want to sound like a green belt is sacred, but sympathetic rebuild keeping the character. Whilst letting places like the old industrial site be more high density.
-
Just leave it be and that includes the daft idea of fencing it off or getting a consultant. You can't manage and control anything that old or large, it'll probably outlive you without even a second thought.
-
Zero, you just continue to get more urban sprawl. Then you get the oh that's not too bad, until say 5-10 years when the council goes well let's just connect the green dots with more houses.
-
Jebus, you want politicians to be poster boys for the yoof. Old Castro's son Free gear Kier Dreary Drakford Macron the granny stealer Horse teeth now dame horse teeth Albo the bible basher Shirt off Putin Erm, maybe rethink that?
-
So S crap ?.
-
Think it's because it's bitumen based and moulds to the shape. The old asbestos also moulded to shape over years, the new cement stuff won't. But you do need a good amount of almost perfectly level support or it just cracks.
-
It'll never EVER be free, blame EVs for driving around scott free for years. Reality is commercial pays very little VED, as they use lots of fuel. HGV are an example, cheap tax but loads of fuel so swings and roundabouts. It's just a rinse and repeat of the diesel thing switched to EV. Oh we made them change and they're using less petrol and not as much diesel, now it's cheaper electric. You get the idea.
-
And you accuse the normal thinking types that prefer Donald over Kamala of being conspiracy theory types. Pot kettle anyone
-
You could probably pose the exact same question to those who voted for the war criminal, sleeping with Murdochs wife etc Tony Blair.
-
That wasn't a typo, heaven knows how the algorithm would make it of seniles love of the yoofs. Plus was also a South park reference.
-
You've still not gotten over your never ending love for the hair sniffing senile biden have you, you know the one that had showers with miners. What about George Bush, his Mrs killed a guy so does that make him a wrongun?.
-
They want us on bicycles like their red book poster boys, then they'll tax those because we might venture outside of our city/town/village/street and then finally front door without papers.
-
Erm, so being "Nice" is now a prerequisite for leadership. Just mentally imagine the phone calls between Kamala and say Putin, now switch Kamala for Thatcher, hell even the Germans mummy Angela. There's logic, fuzzy logic and WTF logic.
