    No, we stole everything BUT the Potatoes.

    Yeah, these are a bit fancy and have good flavour. The estate I have been cutting on grow large amounts of these culinary delights and supply restaurants all over Europe. They had 80,000 seed potatoes delivered yesterday from Scotland.

    A starter image for your Potato site here Steve. 5 varieties of seed Potato to plant today, anyone want have a guess?

    You could google and contact Terry Banyard. He is a Dorset based Tree Surgeon/ Instructor/ Assessor of the highest calibre, he is definitely who I would be looking to learn the craft from if I was just staring out and from that area. If you don’t ask you don’t get, it’s worth a try, good luck.

    Just bring them onto the subject of the Miners Strike, problem solved.

    Move in with your kid for three months whilst filling your van with auto flowering super skunk on a passive hydroponic set up, jobs a gud un.?

    For some, certainly. But I spoke with a guy yesterday who has 3 months of work booked in and hasn’t had any cancellations yet, he generally works large domestic properties, based in Kent, so a lot could depend on the customers finances and location.

    I don’t think he is bragging, just looking for comparisons to the U.K. situation. Germany are a bit ahead of us with the virus and obviously other things.
  9. The avantgardener
    I think you are wrong on these numbers, we will see where we are at in two weeks, or maybe we will both be dead?
  10. The avantgardener
    And also shouldn’t be exaggerated. The model the UK Government is using to project infection/ death rates has been largely rejected as inflated by Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
  11. The avantgardener
    All dead by confirmed Corvid 19? I seriously doubt that.
  12. The avantgardener
    Interesting that lots of the Scandinavian countries are not limiting movements and locking down on the levels that us and other countries are, but they aren’t seeing massive death rates and overwhelmed health services. Sweden seem very low key with the whole Covid situation.
  13. The avantgardener
    So double 42k works out at 84k which is within the number range he mentions, how does this debunk his theory?
  14. The avantgardener
    And I bet this pans out to be correct too.
  15. The avantgardener
    Not sure yet. I have supplied my drivers license and have a current CRB check so could be out delivering medicines?

    I am volunteering starting next week, I don’t require or expect payment, I would happily pay more tax to pay nurses better and put a smile on their faces.
  17. The avantgardener
    I think the sad faces are more likely due to the shit pay and the number of deaths that the nurses are seeing on each shift rather than due to wearing PPE.
  18. The avantgardener
    Blimey, testicles, what are you, Chinese?
  19. The avantgardener
    But if the vans a rockin, don’t come a knockin!

    Saw 5 guys crammed into a Mercedes at 6am on Friday morning. They all got out and used the cash point before entering three shops for the essential Red Bull and The Sun.

    Husqvarna haven’t made a decent combi can in the 26 years I have been cutting. The new one is a decent design, but with one major flaw, it leaks, like all its predecessors. The rubber seals perish or get sticky and prevent the anti spill spout from working properly. I’ve had a Stihl one for 10 years, no issue. Switched to Aspen about 5 years back and have the Aspen combo can now so haven’t had this issue since.

    I think Boris will be off today, he has just tested positive for Corona Virus.

    Acoustic Energy AE1 ,Linn Sondek LP12 and Troika stylus. Upgraded from a Rega which served me well for years and was hard to beat for the price.
  24. The avantgardener
    Yes, useful for telling the time.

    I also live in a house.
