  1. Just found out this afternoon that a number of vans have been broken into over the last few days in the cockermouth area of Cumbria. Seem to be manly builders vans, with 3 in the village I live in being done.

  2. Which is better husky 545xr or the stihl fs 460??? I say stihl lad I work with say husky boss want to buy a new one and wants which is best. I have allways had mid range husky saw and big stihl saws and I have had a stihl fs 450 which was good but thirsty.

  4. Sound like you got your potatoes in at just the right time as we planted our earlies about a month ago and they were doing fine about 8 inches out of the ground and had been earthed up lightly a couple of times but they got caught by the frost in chilly Essex this weekend just gone and are looking seriously wilted and blackened Oh well onwards and upwards our tomatoe and cucumber plants are doing well as are our runner bean plants these are inside a greenhouse happy planting and cheers from Essexlogman

     

     

    Yeah I nearly put every thing about a month back but the farther in law stopped me. All trail and error for a year or so, hoping to get into competition growing in a year or so once I have more idea what am doing.

  6. I'd like something to take to pieces and be usable when I put it back together. I was only kidding but if it's a reasonable idea I would go for it.

  8. I have recently started a new employed job after my first stint of self employment came to a crashing end. In 2012 I took out a big loan and jumped in balls deep with a tractor, timber trailer, firewood processor and a winch. 1 month after doing this it started to rain and didn't stop till what felt like 2013. Ended up having to sell all the gear making a loss on most of it due to not being vat reg, to try pay the loan back. I am now back to zero and only have a some van finance left. I was talking to a guy at the weekend who said my mistake was that I hadn't gonna ltd, when I asked what he ment he said if I had been ltd and I saw things were going bad I could of sold all the gear defaulted on the loan declared my self bank rupt and walked away with out having to pay any loan back and with them being able to take my house. Then start up again. I have heard of things like this going on before but I wondered its right or legal to this?

  9. I had my van sign written up, "got wood?" Advertising my firewood sales. But best van I have seen was a scaffolders wagon. Northern erections, "every erection guaranteed"! Laughed all the way home that day.
