  1. Now you’re just giving the Op material for the wank bank.
  2. You do realise heat accelerates oxidisation, right? I genuinely feel instruction manuals are dumbed down for certain customers…..
  3. You’re trying to create a problem that is simply not there. So yes, pre-arrange with the customer a solution for having both sexes on the crew. Be that using their toilet or by prior arrangement using a suitable discreet spot where you or the lass can go and take a piss. Not just pissing in bottles or buckets and either assuming they are happy with that or hope they don’t catch you. How much harder than that can it be? And if they will not make these simple allowances for females, or males for that matter do you really want them as a customer? So on the whole, yes, I do believe you have a golden shower fetish.
  4. Milling at a residential property is not that different than arb work. So much so that milling is a sub-forum here. I’ve already covered the how’s and why’s, perhaps if you paid more attention and not got so excited at the prospect you’d have noticed that.
  5. Yet here you are frothing at the mouth about a lassie needing to take a piss during the working day. 🤷‍♂️ It’s simply not an issue.
  6. Although I’m not in the same game I never ever slyly piss into a bottle looking over my shoulder when out milling for customers. It’s a bit creepy to be honest. Just be honest and up front. You are a human being and need to pee at some point during the day. So let the customer know you need a plan for that. Either their premises or a discreet spot. Let them know you have both sexes working with you. It will never ever be the issue you seem to want it to be.
  7. Why not? I’ve a wife and four girls plus 2 sisters. I’m well versed in where they can and can’t piss. Slight adjustments may be needed but it seems like you’re firmly set on making an issue out of something not there. If a lassie has the “balls” to get into arb I doubt she needs a white knight like yourself to save her modesty.
  8. Why can’t a lass piss in the same places a guy can?
  9. Are you winning? Not this time it seems. 🤣
  10. But surely we’re moving away from the purpose of woodsure? To deliver logs at or below a specific MC? Operating a modern stove efficiently when the logs are at a low MC is child’s play. No slumber setting makes smouldering quite difficult. Had open fires all my life. Stoves are still a bit of a novelty though, only had them for the last 15 years. But feeding two 10-11kw stoves on a daily basis is more a necessity these days. But with the Esse Ironheart having 4 controls it is slightly more of an art form.
  11. Purely playing devil’s advocate here but I thought with the new woodsure thing the supplier had to also give the purchaser a pamphlet on how to store the logs properly? And how hard is it to use Google? Ignorance is a choice these days.
  12. I agree with everything you’re saying J, but surely your analogy of a Supermarket selling in date produce only backs U.K. the woodsure stance? A Supermarket has a duty of care to provide in date produce. That would be akin to a woodsure accredited log provider supplying logs below 20% MC. Both the supermarket and the accredited log provider provide the product according to their relative standards and once sold it’s the customer’s responsibility to safely store either their fresh fish or logs under 20% MC in the correct way. Anyway, it’s all BS and thankfully not yet here in Scotland.
  13. FMOTL is an utter joke full of nut jobs. So many examples of the exceedingly bad advice given out by these cranks both sides of the pond ending with those gullible enough to listen to these pseudo-experts ending up in serious hot water.
  14. Perhaps they’ve gone through the correct procedures and they where allowed them? The allotments that don’t perhaps, like you, where turned down?
  15. Are you employed or pottering around? You repeatedly mention you’re a horticulturalist like that should add some weight to your argument but the reality is it has nothing to do with why you want a toilet installed as you’ve also repeatedly stated it’s for the old biddies you want to show off your handiwork to then claim it’s their right to sanitation. Out of interest you mentioned the folk trying to buy the plot put an offer of £1000 over the highest bidder. How did you find this out and why did they then not win the bid?
  16. Surely not everywhere though? You have a right to access sanitation in your home, place of work etc but not in the middle of a forest. If this is your line of reasoning I can see why it’s not getting you very far.
  17. To be funny it has to also be true, so yeh, it’s good. 😁
  18. Really? I know next to nothing about them but I have a nice 36” Saw Log. Supposedly nice hard timber.
  19. And clearly a sewer can’t enter a Sailor so Eggy will just have to grit his teeth. [emoji16]
  20. I really don’t mind being made a fool of on the internet’s. But I’m intrigued as to what’s happened in the last few days that made you draw that conclusion.
  21. Not necessarily implying you directly. But whining on the internet is not going to change anything and is ultimately just accepting it. But good for you if you’re taking time out of your busy days shovelling shit to actively end this corruption and incompetence. Perhaps you’re standing in your local elections hoping to make real change. Who knows these things, eh? Wink Wink Smiley.
  22. If you’re not actively trying to stop it you’ve accepted it.
