  1. I had not thought about how long spores may remain viable , thanks for the answers / opinions , it was just a random thought !!
  2. In theory if all Ash trees have died and been removed ( within a very large area / nationally / europe wide ) will the disease / fungi survive for any length of time ? could an area then be safe to be restocked ?
  3. An HGV driver I know works for an Agency and it appears he can not work for more than 13 weeks continuously at one company ( or is regarded as employed ) so has time off / or gets sent to another company for at least one week , then can start 13 weeks again ....it is with a large depot so they always seem to need a number of agency drivers ...
  4. So if you are a man, who is attracted to women ,are you really a lesbian trapped in a mans body ?
  5. Perhaps this sums it up !!!!!!http://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/2017-10-30/bus-companys-website-says-it-has-closed-after-message-from-owner/
  6. old sump oil mixed with red diesel helped a larch slab shed I built last a long time
  7. To increase the longevity of your posts where they go in to the ground dump some salt around them each year to keep the soil "hostile " to wood decaying / boring organisms .
  8. Look at the trees in the verges on the A30 from Exeter to Okehampton , lots of it ...
  9. medlar is my first thought
  10. It all depends how much you want the wood !! do you have a use for it yourself ? or are you planning to mill/process and sell on ? I would of thought the owners would consider £50 derisory as I suspect they consider them valuable and can see more value in them than £50 for firewood !! Also if you are after Yew wood when will the next opportunity to obtain such lumps come along ?...
  11. If any one is stopped for delivering wet wood , then you can say I am not selling it , the wood is free ......I just charge for cutting splitting and delivery !!!!!
  12. I would imagine Ash die back will flood the market in the near future ....but only temporarily though , then wood will go up in price quite a lot .
  13. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/cornwall-camping-death-tree-fall-tehidy-country-park-cambourne-accident-a8491231.html
  14. calculate your costs for felling and extraction ( plus clear up etc ) then deduct that from roadside price , this will then give you a starting figure for negotiating the price you can / will pay .........if both parties are in agreement !!! do not forget felling licence , bat / wildlife survey etc ...and all other bureaucratic bumpf !!
  15. You have only been here 5 days , hardly any one has had the opportunity to dislike you yet !! ? and yes the roads can be awful ....what is 20-25 miles as the crow flies can take at least an hour to drive ! I hope you are well practiced in reversing ..
  16. Perhaps some Guardian readers are confusing Robinsons and Robertsons and assuming that he is racist ( which some how has become the greatest crime ever )......https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=robinsons+golliwog&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=Oua488NlhoXG9M%3A%2C1V7HjIU5GG6OhM%2C_&usg=AFrqEzfR7uaAk9vhEB7JozSn_Sm2dxuI4A&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwisn9-4xczcAhXHZ1AKHfD2BfEQ9QEwCXoECAYQFg#imgrc=V56UjszBl5-ZTM:
  17. For nearly 20 years now I have only eaten peanut butter sandwiches , every day , sun pat ( crunchy ) wholemeal bread !!
  18. Been driving a lorry a fair bit recently ...nice Scania with AIR CON ..... have not started a saw for a little while now , any jobs I have can wait !!!
  19. Found exactly the same type of excavated bees nest in my woods today , would prefer to have bees than badgers .....
  20. Yes I have seen quite a few Birch and Willow suffering as well ...
  21. no apology required , I hope you do not think I am being pedantic, but if you are buying ,milling and selling timber then it would be in your own best interests to know what species you are dealing with ?
  22. Pretty sure that is a WRC !!!
  23. Could you post some pics of the foliage , because I find it hard to believe that is WRC looks like Sequoia to me !! happy to be wrong !!
  24. easy for me as I own some woodland !!! although camping is only permitted 28 days per annum no idea who keeps count though ...
  25. I was at Meadfoot Beach this morning at 06.30 am and did see a few big vans parked up , no idea if you were one of them ,,,was another fantastic days weather ....f$%k work ! .. I spent the day in the sea !!!!
