    Guns are not something that interests me at all. If you want to go shoot pigeons or other things that's fine though. I think the controls we have are probably good enough as the people who are stupid enough to shoot people are going to be using illegal guns most likely anyway. Thinking about the gun problems in the US. They can't just outright ban them now as the law abiding people would be the ones to give them up whereas the criminal nutters would carry on as normal. Easy lift guy you say the schools etc are gun free zones. Is that the school itself or an area including the school?

    We will never win the argument over guns with the Americans and they will never stop wanting them no matter how many senseless deaths come in mass shootings.

    Which part eggs you not being allowed or the gun that Mrs eggs has? I think after all these years and your convictions being spent I think you perhaps should be able to. But as the rules stand they are stupid as there is a gun in your finger tips almost how can that happen if you are "not suitable " So I do think it's madness

    I've lived in China, Spain ,Tenerife France and Italy over the years and loved them all in their own ways. However it's family I always missed in the end so the midlands somewhere (close enough to family but not on any of their doorsteps!)not that bothered where as long as it's in the countryside.

    I did not climb it just the ladder! That's why arms are hurting as was using secateurs, loppers and pole pruner for the very middle. Bit annoyed that I did not take a picture before. Will try and take in picture in spring when it's in blossom hopefully it will look nice

    Took about a foot off it just this years growth. Forgot to take a picture before I started😡

    What is a was ticket?
  10. Richard 1234
    No go for the tickets if you want to be in arb. I've got a ms170 I use for small jobs cross cutting etc. No tickets but do use ppe and common sense😀 If I wanted to do trees for a living I would get the tickets

    I won't put cuttings in the back of mine. I used to put all sorts in my old truck but ruined the back door and back wings! Have 2 trailers now. I started out just like you only with a Mazda demio and a 30 year old camping trailer.

    I've got a push 17 inch Honda izy that's 6 years old and does 1 day a week on small gardens and has done for all 6 years. As near unbreakable as you can get for less than £400

    Try going to timpsons and seeing if they can make a new key. They can put the codes on.

    She did well my arms are hurting now!

    The main reason I don't have a top on the back of my pick up is because of mowers strimmers not fitting in the back if hard top on. Can see they are good for security but folding the handles on mowers does them no good IMO.

    If it's 3 times current why only double?
  17. Richard 1234
    I think you can use a chainsaw legally without tickets at least I hope so😀
  18. Richard 1234
    As above my first attempt at pruning a tree into some kind of nice shape(maybe).

    15degrees in Lincoln today. Don't sell logs but fed up as the grass won't stop growing and I want some time off work!
  20. Richard 1234
    I was at a print shop last week organising some new work clothes and they were putting a display in the window of cloth bags that they are starting to sell. To have them printed with logo etc. So it may be starting to happen already.

    I think it's sad too but you get caught up in life. Running a business taking and fetching kids from school the list goes on....... If I went to butchers bakers etc etc it would take 3 hours instead of one. In that 2 hours I can earn the money to pay for a good part of the shopping or just spend that time st home with the kids that are growing up too fast! I often feel like I'm chasing for the sake of it as I don't know any other way to live anymore.

    I'm not sure people are over looking smaller shops because of the 5p bag charge going to charity. I think people use the big shops for the convenience of getting all the stuff in one place. People are working longer and longer hours to stay afloat that time is tight.
  23. Richard 1234
    Sorry to hear this again!! It seems like every day at the moment! Bar stewards. Hope your insured. Hope you get sorted soon as well
  24. Richard 1234
    Yeah I heard that too. A few small shops round here are charging though I don't know if proceeds going to charity. I think not though !!
  25. Richard 1234
    For once I agree with most of what you have written. People don't like £25 an hour for hedge cutting but will happily pay £100 for a four hour cut
