Basis of my vast fortune Cornered the market in three US states We ship 500 tonnes of prime uk conkers which are packaged in bubble packs and sold at $5.00 each throughout those states under the registered tradename " a right royal conk" we tell customers the queen has conkers in every room at buckingham palace....works a treat i'm open to offers if you'd like to buy the business ( cash only )

Thats why i've still got series 2a Pulled back of chassis off nearly twenty years ago Fitted marsland Wish i'd done bulkhead at same time,

I'm putting in new system and have talked to lot of people over last few months A lot of people have said that the high tech systems have failed to coe up with the goods A girl in dorset had the whole caboodle, ground heat, solar panels , woodburner with backboiler , accumulator tank etc etc After 2 years struggle she has ripped the whole lot out and settled on a woodburner with an accumulator tank whch she says works perfectly...... Another girl has done the same, except the accumulator tank is in a cupboard in her bedroom, she says the room is now too hot and she is having the accumulator ripped out and going for simple woodburner + backboiler feeding into the central heating system I'm going for simple woodburner + backboiler + central heating system ..... After looking round a lot I'm putting alpha 3 woodburner in, best local price was colour supplies wrexham but thereis essex company £15 cheaper -- the woodburner seems well built and has excellent reviews, but time will tell if right descision.... I tried to get my head around grant systems, but they all seemed to increase price from £4k ish to £15k and salesmen will tell you anything

There are some people burning pallets ... If you can get them free....... Knock them into bits and then chop saw them into useable bits .....

I thought everyone knew that you go from "49 and a bit" To "Not bad for nearly seventy" When you switch is your decision

Yeah forgot damson and sloe gin ........ I used to have wild cranberries in a boggy bit but haven't seen them for years

I'm considering buying a steam juice extractor ..... Seems simple way of making juice/jelly etc plenty of fruits coming soon, blackberry, elderberry, rose hips, apple, medlar, pears, and grapes No quince this year Though Have planted sweet chestnuts hopefully get some nuts this year If they fatten up I'm feeding about a dozen pheasants with my chickens so they will be going in freezer in month or so Also swap firewood for fish ...... So all coming together slowly........ But some of supposedly free food is crap...... Don't rate most foods for free, they just don't taste good .....

Met conservationist few years ago She was getting £500 a night ! For watching otters on the river dee between Llangollen and Corwen Not suprisingly she wasn't interested in proper work .....

If you really want to stir it up Suggest a chinese saw.......

Great analysis Proper grip on whats happened and why

Out of interest WOuld koi and ducks mix?

Doesn't everyone lust or a snap on tool chest full of beautiful clean tools .... Doesn't mean you can afford it, I know I can't, but I can dream.......

One day soon a chinese quality saw will appear And husky and stihl will be screwed Time they grew up......

Had paypal and credit card online systems Credit card merchant services was cheaper but pain in the ass Paypal works well when set up, but can be bgger to set up Payal have just changed online system and now make customers register with them My son has paypal handheld card reader, they were £90 but when he didn't buy they reduced price to £45 - he likes to carry it with him in case he makes a sale .....he rates it Paypal are a pain if summat goes wrong

We made rowan berry jelly once Bloody disgusting

Some of the imported jap stuff had a switch under the dashboard that turned the heater temperature up Apparently north island japan much colder than southern island sothey had this built in.... Was def on those funny old 2 1/4 4x4 people carrier diesels that blew their head gaskets

But are they good?

Zigged when he should have zagged ...

If existing is crap, ie no use for hay What about using old fashioned hay rake ( ie cheap ) to clear cut grass? Just keep cutting and clearing ....

Any idea how much for polish one?

Too steep at that price Not bothered about galvanising either ...... Nice coat of paint will do fine

I always thought if you wanted a wildflower meadow 1) wait until wildflowers have set and dropped seed 2) cut and remove grass 3) don't fertalize 4) if you keep removing cut grass ( hay) you'll reduce fertility and encourage wild flowers You could broadcast wild flower seed into the turf by hand, better if you harrow it in ......

At £100 count me in

Why not put them on tags / sheets with your logs Then take the customer straight to the ' re-order firewood " page Link to paypal......... Job done

Used to do view to purchase inspections .... 1) when you get there read all the paperwork THOROUGHLY try to get its history into your head , what mileage was it doing each year, if there is a period with no miles, try to find out why, could have been in bodyshop for six months 2) look at body gaps, should be parallel , if any out why, 3) look for uneven tyre wear - measure horizontal distance between tyre and wheelarch - how many fingers will be accurate enough to show serious problems ....most important between front wheels and door post side -- should be same on both sides -- if not is one wheel back? 4) is the wear on pedal rubbers consistent with mileage 5) ditto trim and interior 6) open bonnet ......just look .... I hate signs of overheating, look for rusty water stains, look on inner wheel arches and down by chassis legs ...down radiator ....personally I'd walk away from car that shows signs of overheating 7) look for oil leaks ......pull out dipstick and smell.....does it smelled burned 8) look at bolt heads on engine, have they been undone recently? Ditto screw heads 9) ditto screw heads on bodywork - if wing has been off why 10) check coolant, any signs of oil in it? 11) engine should be cold, get it started and look around head gasket, any signs of fluid leakage -- alloy heads will leak for few seconds and then seal as head warms up and tightens joints, a slight weep on starting is sign gasket on way out, will seal in less than a minute so be quick looking 12) check every electrical switch, electric windows, etc etc 13) glass check for chips n scratches.....if your really fussy the manufacturers put codes on the glass, check they are consistent on all windows, if one differs has the car been broken into , possible abuse by thieves 14) drive the car and check everything - I'm crap at hearing what wrong during a test drive, but look for obvious, excessive pedal travel, pulling breaks, gear changes, noisy wheel bearings ( cheap reair) 15) look at brake discs are they corroded? Your sort of getting there now I'd say any major problem = walk away If seller starts talking to you whilst looking at it wonder if he's trying to distract you --- go back and check what you were looking at when he interrupted If you have a large mirror take it with you ( old dressing table mirror is 110%) lie it on floor under carand inspect underside ...amazing how good this is I hated doing this easy to miss something big We saw brand new sierra sold from ford main agent, that was two cars welded together Not found till stone chips on red bonnet came through blue Fooled main agent that it was new car ...bought cheap through the trade Goog luck
