  1. So are you saying because Canada, USA and Australia etc sell more saws than Stihl UK they should charge more and expect similar profits to other countrys? That ridiculous! Imo if the market is smaller in any profession you should expect less profit/ turnover.

     

    No, they can charge less as they sell far more! You never heard of 'pile it high, sell it cheap'?

  2. Good tip that:thumbup1: I used a similar technique when the woodland dwarves got a bit uppity (apparently they objected to the Balsa wood mine shaft props I sold them. I may or may not have told them it was Oak, I don't remember now.)

    Anyway, I digress. Knowing full well the startlingly repellant properties of Mrs Idiot's scrambled eggs, I stuffed many pan fulls down my double stiched rhino hide battle pantaloons before heading out to face the hairy little midgets. Unfortunately it was a ten mile trek in 40 degree heat, but the eggs although pungent, stood up well.

    As soon as he saw me approaching, the chief Dwarf scampered over on his little legs and took a swing with his razor sharp dual headed War Axe at my omlette clad thigh. As anticipated this commonly fatal blow was deflected with such velocity by Mrs Idiots scrambled eggs that the rebounding axe took the Chief's head clean off.

    This was a more impressive result than I had even hoped for, and the remainder of the dwarf hoard trudged back to their caves dispirited whilst I began the long squelchy walk back to the yurt, desperate to relieve the stress of the event pneumatically but terrified of the consequences!

     

    You rock. I just fell out of bed I was laughing so hard. Are you thinking of writing a book about all these adventures you have? TVI for PM!

  3. by driving a vehicle over the ground he has caused damage, grass is a valuable crop, and you can force the police to press charges

     

    I agree, in most cases of intentional trespass damage or theft is very likely to take place. An old dear and her dog looking confused I could overlook as she would probably be lost!!

  4. Isn't trespass a civil offense, rather than a criminal offence? if the trespasser has caused damage, or is armed, it becomes criminal, at which point the police may be more likely to act. Just my tuppence worth from experience.

  5. The swabish looks interesting , will have a go at trying that……….scotspine1

     

    Is that a fisherman's knot you are using on the crab ? ……MaxwellArb ?

     

    Yup, bit messy as not dressed and set, was just experimenting with a new lanyard. Keep us updated on how you're getting on with climbing, and keep an ear open for any rec climbs going on. Loads more fun to climb with companions. :-)

  6. You'd need a sense of humour living in milton keynes LOL

     

    Not my choice, I moved here so my better half could be nearer her place of work. But yes, you're right, if you don't laugh here you just curl up and die....
