  1. the tyres were poor in those days ...compared to today...
  2. any one felling a tree this time of year should check for nests ( in tree or where it will land ) as the report says it is huge and very hard to miss ...most probably owner would of been informed of it's presence !!
  3. that is very odd !! I own some woodland and a Goshawk has nested in there in the past ( in a neighbours woodland more recently ) and I was informed that no forestry operations are permitted within 400 metres , which effectively made my own land out of bounds for 4-5 months , which displeased me greatly !! I was strongly advised by local raptor group ( bird of prey spotters ) and police wildlife officer about the severity of offence if i was to even disturb it , let alone deliberately fell tree with nest in !!!
  4. nowadays everyone ( almost ) is encouraged to be sensitive and thoughtful and care about everything and everyone which is mostly positive but makes people easily upset and in a way " soft " ( not a criticism )
  5. are they fetching a better price and selling well ?? had a few nice big ones a couple of weeks ago ...my lovely other half did Crab Mac ( Nigellas recipe ) was really , really nice 😋
  6. I just remembered the cladding is Elm as well !! I have used old engine oil to paint / treat timber with and it is a lovely colour when first done . if done when it is dry it soaks in well so as not to be messy to touch ...
  7. These are very old Elm , there were screws for a Cider press but have been in this barn for many decades now !!
  8. pretty sure that is Start point / Hallsands ...lovely area !! I dive there occasionally ...scallops , razor clams , crabs and fish ....only on neap tides though or may end up miles offshore in the current !!
  9. I think people declare themselves as woke ...not a label imposed upon them by others .....
  10. I think that is Roundydendron 😁
  11. very true ..labour used to represent the working class ...just about every working class person now bloody hates the ridiculous lefty nonsense ( woke stuff ) and would never vote for a party so aligned with such rubbish !!! Boris will be a tough man to beat !!!
  12. well said ..so many bleat about terrible contractors but there are plenty of just bloody awkward customers !!!
  13. I have had a few examples recently where neither the Council ( highways ) or owner admits ownership of road side trees , because they are large Ash with ADB which is an awkward situation and I am sure will keep cropping up !!
  14. I have one ...not used for towing , just tools and a bit of dragging on occasion , use it for leisure stuff a lot , kayaks , diving gear etc very practical vehicle ....was after a Hi Lux but so many were high mileage , worked hard and overpriced and few and far between locally , many L200's about that have had easy life !! . .
  15. obviously not the UK..... look at the sky !!!!!!!
  16. not lighting woodburner recently , got plenty of dry wood , weather bloody wet and cool here and generally horrible !! went for my first dive of the year this week ( much later than usual ) not a pleasant experience but enjoyed scallops and crab ......
  17. lawsons ...for sure ..especially the way the trunk divides half way up , very distinctive for lawsons , as well as the foliage and general form ..
  18. Do virtually all my work with ms 241 .... husky 357xp and ms661 for bigger stuff ....
  19. Spud ...so you have a ported blower ?? could be of interest to some 😁
  20. fitted carb this morning and saw is running fine again !! time will tell on quality of carb but issue sorted ....
  21. I have a husky 357xp that will not run at the moment and after tackling basics , plug etc I have obtained a cheap carb to see if that will do the trick ...will fit and test tomorrow ...
  22. surely only in winter though !! and with the amount of rain in recent winters I doubt many particles get far from my house !!
