Just wonder if it would be possible to have a tractor and low trailer with a warden at either end with stop/go signs, so that kids could be taken out of class every now and then to do a bit of litter picking so that when Mum/ Dad chucks something out they could say "Oi Dad, if you chuck that out I gotta pick it up" Response i admit could be "Shaddup you little runt and finish your coke and chips" Mail on Sunday has a new campaign I see today.

I have only just found enough time to catch up with my reading material, and one of the articles in the NFU journal was about a farmer called Tom Martin, who was suggesting that McDonalds and other drive through fast food places print the car number on takeaway packaging. I gather that it made the headlines in Facebook and the Daily Telegraph took up the story. I have not seen the original story or heard any more of what seems like a good idea or at least a step in the right direction I have just spent some time picking up the remains of a package outside our house which looked as though a hand grenade had gone off. Bits of paper blown into the hedge, fizzy drink cups with plastic straws and lids strewn yards apart. This a daily chore for me on my morning bike ride The real problem with all of this is that you can catch someone red handed, even with a police witness but with overloaded courts and it seems now that petty burglary is even not being brought to court by the CPS, is there any hope?

I know many of you have seen it before, but still worth a look in the overloaded section. No Caterpillars were harmed in making these videos

Only one way to find out. Side by side test!

Still leaves a load of stumps to be dealt with Price I would think is comparable to Marshall at about $15000 US

The Aarrow Stratford does our water and is fairly unsophisticated compared to what is being discussed here with US stoves. The biggest eye opener for us has been the Danish Aduro room heater which burns a very small amount of wood which lasts a whole evening of my wife's box set movies! When I first lit the stove I had not read the instructions which described how to lay the kindling using no paper with the larger pieces at the bottom and building up in a noughts and crosses fashion untilyou reach the top where you put the very fine pieces. Very counter intuitive but it really works.

I think that the Australians could make good use of this machine for firebreaks. I thought that it would work well on a teleporter so the tree could be further away and perhaps better visibility Not cheap though but perhaps cheap compared to a tree shear, grab and stump grinder???

A couple of years ago I thought I would try the train home from London Kings Cross to Grantham. Another half mile yomp up the platform to find myself in a coach full of people shouting down their mobile phones However the line was smooth and the train seemed fast and it was not long before we arrived at Peterborough. A few more minutes to Grantham and I thought that I could really perhaps warm to rail travel Moments later the train started to slow and the man came onto the intercom. I thought he was about to tell us that we were approaching Grantham. But no, the train had broken down and it was two hours before we were moving again. We used to have the main line from Grimsby to London three miles away delivering fish to the capital with few stops My Great Great Grandfather could make it to London in the 1870s quicker than I can by car or bus or train today. Progress????

I took my old classic car 115 miles from Skegness to Nuneaton for some leather work. 16 mpg cost about 7 gallons of petrol at say £6 a gallon around £42. Journey about 2 hours 15 minutes in great comfort, breathing my own air, listening to my own music on 8 track stereo. Luggage in the boot, not touched from home to destination. Went back to fetch it a week or two later and thought that I would try public transport. Walked with my heavy case about a mile to the main road bus stop where it was not at all clear about the times, or the bus number. Had to pay about £5 to sit next to a huge woman who took up half my seat and stank. Skegness rail ticket to Nuneaton about £50 with two changes involving lugging my case a distance down various platforms, stairs etc until I arrived at Nuneaton still two miles from the industrial park. Had to summon a taxi which cost £8 The whole journey took five hours or twice as long as the car, cost more plus all the lugging and walking and standing around on draughty platforms. It could have been raining. Compare this to say four people sharing the journey in my Peugeot which does 60 mpg. £12 petrol divided by 4 = £3 each Rail travel has a long way to go before I can become enthusiastic about it.

Does it not need the sideways movement to make the tree fall away from the machine. You also need to take into account that no further work is needed in tidying up the stump which is left level to the ground.

This is something different and relatively safe. I have not seen it mentioned here before

I take it that you have speed and everything you need? And if I were to knock you down you'd just get up again. You're intelligent and clean, you've never let your friends down and never made a boob. You wake up every morning with a smile upon your face and your natural exuberance spills out all over the place! Yes , it is a great tragedy, the loss of Neil

I don't think that the cost of it is relevant to the argument.. The perception is that we have to pay a lot of money to stop using fossil fuels and eating meat by paying for more costly alternatives or taxes. If you really believe this and there are going to be huge sacrifices to be made in the name of cutting down emissions then banning fireworks is a no brainer The Sydney case is worse because as Alex said it would be very insensitive and unfair to put firefighters on standby in Sydney when they are desperately needed elsewhere.
