Ha ha, you're spoiling them! Not sure of the brand of peanut biscuit, only got into them just before we moved here, nearly moved back when I realised they were unavailable here.
-
Not me, biscuits are for home, crisps are for the van.
-
My favourite biscuits are hard to come by as I live out here. Right now I'm enjoying a cup of tea with some Ginger Snaps, my God they're a fine biscuit! They actually change your palate so the tea tastes even better. Another biscuit I miss is the peanut one, (forget it's name) my mate introduced me to them, I thought "peanuts? On a biscuit? That's crazy talk!" But they're splendid. Custard Creams are a good workaday biscuit, cheap and cheerful. I've never really embraced the whole dunking thing, except sometimes with a Mcvities Digestive.

Steel toecaps for me please...

I like to look at stuff like that before I go to work. Keeps one focused. -
Cheers, I'll look when I get home from work tonight.

I repeat the question......
-
My responses are not based on common law, or your interpretation of them. They're based on common sense and decency. Very often we get calls from a client who tell us all about their terrible neighbours, painting a picture of them as inconsiderate, experience has taught me to see both sides (plus keep my own counsel and take the money!)

Looks like a tightly packed housing estate, how high was the "screen"?
-
Agreed, if it were some historic/tpo covered "amenity tree" I could understand the debate. But an overgrown scabby hedge.....
-
Well, opinions vary.
-
If they were 2 meters high would they have blown over?
-
What year is that?
-
Those Stihl/husky soft leather gloves are lovely, very pricey and fragile, but if cost was no object I'd wear them every day.
-
If the owner of the trees hadn't been negligent in the maintenance they would not have blown over.
-
"Shameful" how so? If they were putting in a building how is any damage to those trees shameful. Surely the selfish owner of the trees deserves the brickbats.
-
Notwithstanding the lowering of the ground level, that is exactly the sort of crappy leylandii that deserves to go anyway. Selfishness on the part of the owners.

Blimey Hodge, you and me running the same trucks, colour an' all, whodda thunk it! I think you'll like it anyway, I love the suicide doors and the dog seems to have adjusted. The VAT/TVA is because it's a bit luxurious/unnecessary I guess, a bit like the 4door/4seater issue.
-
No John, I could not reclaim the VAT on a 200hp model unfortunately.
-
Half a days money in Essex (so I'm told)
-
Nightmare, I like to think even from up the tree I'm watching what goes through the chippers. That was really bad luck.
-
brand new makita dcs3410 top handle anyone? £170! WTF!
Mick Dempsey replied to billpierce's topic in Chainsaws
I remember when I started I bought an Efco, cos it was cheap. Waste of money, buy a Stihl, Husky or (if you've no shame) an Echo. Everything else is substandard gardener/homeowner rubbish. -
I'd forgotten about this. Look forward to the pics.

The Thread is 112 posts old, surely it's going to drift a bit by now.

Getting there! Will be interested to follow progress the next few months, especially with regards to whether it's paying its way, and if a regular lorry/hiab combo could have done the same job. Lots of us watching with interest.
