  1. a telecoms mast or something close behind?
  2. ...and is it a fir? or a thuja? a spruce or a welly, or leylandii, or hemlock? Enquiring minds need to know. ETA ?
  3. and a picture of the access to the garden too is it in through the front door and out through the kitchen or is there a nice wide drive up the side of the house?
  4. The magnificent golden fooja in Grayswood churchyard - Mitchell's c.v. Aureovariegata 'Zebrina' (Conifers in The British Isles page 294; 56'x5'2" in 1964) - is no more. One less interesting tree to look out for on the road from Haslemere to Milford. Hey ho. Enjoy it whilst it's there.
  5. Solicitor would ask how you came by the sample of paint. That would be theft then, he'll say. Evidence connected with said paint ruled inadmissable.
  6. Not my area of expertise at all and happy to be wrong, but be careful that taking a sample of paint off the other car without the owner's permission doesn't leave you open to a charge of criminal damage.
  7. And we have 50, 50 in the corner, someone give me 55...?
  8. There is no chipper; the chipper is a myth. All they want is your bank-details. PS There is not a speck of dust on that machine!
  9. If it's red it's Jonsered isn't it? What? Too soon?
  10. Looks to be some nice fat 'sticky buds' in the picture. If they han't been tidied up, that's going to be your irrefutable diagnostic. The leaves are also obvious if there's any left over from last autumn hiding round the back of the shed or behind the dust-bins.
  11. First Edition £6-99 ETA Sorry that's an auction and that's its start price.
  12. Yep. First question is Why are you, with all your experience, getting binned in favour of people with no experience. Not being confrontational, hoping to help, if you can answer that one you're halfway there.
  13. By which, if <Pinus sibirica, or Siberian pine> Have just looked in Mitchell's Conifers in the British Isles and.... Thers no mention of it.

    Saw ID ?

    Ah! Not me. Twas Gary 24 that came up with it, I just did a picture search based on his suggestion. Confusion arises due to lack of quote in quote embeddination

    Saw ID ?

    Best I can make out on that label is ARG 42-24 but google gives up nothing for that with or without Komatsu

    Saw ID ?

    Yes. Sorry. Should have made that clearer. I was going mainly by the matching shape of the covers.
  18. Just for completeness. He called it '...a jimjam a kind of poisoned axe' Rackham. O. (New Naturalist) Woodlands. Collins 2006. Interestingly (FSVoI) in the cases he cites it was being used on limes. He goes on to describe the survivors, found when the conifers were cut, as 'hollowed out like a log canoe' and has an illustration of another described as '... a needle eye tree showing characteristic growth'
  19. if you google morpeth limes and pick up the local paper report there's a couple of extra pics there
  20. Oliver Rackham wrote of a jack or a spike of some sort that 'they' used to kill off the native broadleaf trees by stabbing and poisoning them before replanting with the conifer plantatons. I've just had a quick look but can't find the relevant section. Might have been a similar operation.
  21. Obvs will depend on distances involved and length of cable involved but does it lend itself to having the cable fixed at both ends and then instead of winding up and storing the cable on the winch so that it has to unwound before it can be used again, you could wrap a loop or two of cable around the winch capstain and pull the trailer along the open length of cable. Or have two winches, one each front and back so that as one hauls in the pays out. I have never tried any of this I just made it all up It is here for discussion purposes only Cables under tension are dangerous Take expert advice; make informed decisions
  22. Yay! Go me. So I took the flywheel off and had a look and there was a little old key mangled and grey chuckling away. Woodruff key was sheared and jambed jamned jammed. Sometimes you just gotta go with your instincts; ignore the voice that's saying but it can't be that, and get on with it. It is. Sometimes. Wound the crank backwards a bit and it stopped being 'seized' so still don't know what that was about. hey ho. Happy days Yourn
  23. They hate people; it's just people
