  1. Completely agree Wrsni Lets not forget what the Tories did to Liverpool. Remember Geofffrey Howe advised Thatcher to leave the whole city to 'managed decline'. Hardly a tea party was it?
  2. I think it was an utter nightmare. The destruction of the industrial north of our great country unforgiveable. You're right though to say that she did believe that she was acting in the national interest, she was just misguided.
  3. So, did I mate Know I now what a lying bunch of shucksters they are they'll never see my vote, ever, ever, ever,again
  4. Well, it wasn't a good experience was it Wood wasp
  5. Yes, I agree with you mate - totally had it with all that old manipulative bollocks that the old lot keep dishing out. Not sure about another woman PM, remember the last one Here in deepest Norfolk voting has always seemed a totally pointless activity to me (50,000 Tory majority) however a few months ago I changed my mind when I was told that if I used my vote wisely I could perhaps help to save the deposit of a worthwhile contender if hothing else - hence I will be voting Green Interestingly I heard about two weeks ago from my brother in law in Brisbane, hes just joined the Greens too, so maybe this is a global phenomenon
  6. Good for you Stoke Wood Project Just been having a look at it myself now - anyone else a member?
  7. Whatever way you cut it, a huge percentage of the population of the UK have no desire to sacrifice/change one iota of their modern lifestyle in the name of saving the planet. Thats probably the best argument that I've heard for giving them a place on the televised debates
  8. I have a Gransfors Bruks splitting axe, which is a fantastically well made thing. Its great to use but if you're going to be splitting large rings then you'll probably find it too lightweight. I use a cheap maul I picked up for a tenner for that. Wish I bought a Gransfors maul
  9. Just had a look at your website David, Quick photographers thought - whatever you do don't put any photos on your site if you didn't shoot them, or have a licence to use them. I'm not suggesting that you have done that, just thinking that you don't have many pics on there and wondering where you may get them. Loads of folks that are setting up in business for the first time grab images off the net, then get a huge bill for copyright infringement.
  10. Cheers Wrsni, It is lovely Now comes the thinking bit. I'm quite happy to take my time and get lots of opinions before I actually do anything. Bren has advised me to divide the wood into sections then tackle one at a time. I'm thinking five plots of around an acre each would make it manageable. Bren's also positively identified those leylandi. The first plot I start work on will most likely have those in and they are almost certainly coming down. When I have a managemet plan organised I need to run it past the family - as its Grandads legacy I can't really go chopping anything down until all concerned are agreed. I'm hoping tha won't be a problem. We will see.
  11. Sorry, should've checked:blushing:
  12. Ever heard of a 'lumbersexual' - no me neither. I just came across this as I'm a photographer in my day job and The Huffington Post have used three of my images in this feature. See what you make of it: Meet The 'Lumbersexuals': These Unkempt, Bearded Men Are Everything We've Ever Wanted
  13. Thanks Wrsni, I figured out how to use it and have now double checked the acreage - Planimeter gives me a little under 5.2 acres - good news :thumb up: I guess that means I have roughly five acres to manage instead of my initial estimate of two - happy days :big grin:
  14. If you have a pine and birch mix then then you have a softwood and hardwood mix not an all softwood mix. Don't want to be picky but you don't want to sell yourself short
  15. I did mine in King's Lynn, thirty years ago mind I remember a tiny little roundabout with a massive road round it wth lots of exits, crazy. Took me two attempts to pass. Keep at it David
  16. What I'm doing wrong I don't know but I can't figure out how to use that one:confused1:
  17. Yes, nice way to get more woodland than you thought you had Probably the only time I've been pleased to be crap at doing something Thanks for the mapdevelopers link Sandspider
  18. Just back from a good walk in the woods with Bren - many thanks for your time and advice Bren, much appreciated. Turns out that my estimation of land isn't so hot. Thanks to Google Earth we've now worked our that I don't have two acres, I actually have 5.2 acres
  19. That can't be too healthy what with the plastic andall the chemicals in the nappies ?
