  1. Just out of interest how many lads on here have had a pay rise in the last few years or given their lads a pay rise in the last few years?

  4. What do you all have if any? Had an LG for a while bought it quite cheap just to see how much I'd use it. A lot was the answer so upgraded to a B&O beoplay A1 today and WOW amazing speaker! Plugged it in to the tv to enjoy some Glastonbury it's amazing for its size.
  5. 😂you two crack me up!
  6. The house has moved, not clear movement caused by the tree per se its 70 years old now you are not hiding the tree by getting another survey you are getting another opinion if he thinks there has been movement but now it's settled then your fine. The tree gone is a good thing the soil will return to its correct levels of moisture, we are all different that wouldn't have bothered me from buying my dream house. It seems you have moved on however so I wish you all the best in the house you have settled on (sorry couldn't resist).
  7. If you get another report with no tree to see would they pick up that the cracks are due to a tree? If the answer is no it's insurable surely...... If you get another survey with someone else and it costs £x and it makes it right for said insurance knock the money for the survey off price of the property and some for all the hassle. After all it's your dream home!
  8. Worrying too much, the house has been there nearly 70 years it is not going to suddenly collapse! The tree gone is a good thing the soil will get its moisture back. If it's your dream home knock some 💵 off with what you know about the tree etc but the place and live happily ever after.
  9. 👍 A conifer wouldn't deter me from buyin my dream home as he put it, it would merely be used as a bargaining chip to knock some 💵 off!
  10. So if it has another report will that report deem the house as fit to live in?
  11. Sorry Gary was referencing mine. Almost 70 years though if it was '50 it ain't going anywhere. That's my view anyhow. It wouldn't put me off purchase, if the bank are willing to lend your more than likely safe, I'd use it as a bargaining chip personally.
  12. People are under the misconception that the roots cause movement and cracks through growing under the property which could happen but not always. The damage occurs mostly because of the amount of water the tree takes away from the soil therefore soil shrinks house moves. Taking the tree down in this instance could have a positive impact on the soil and also take the fear away for the next buyer. My personal take on houses may differ from yours they will all move at some point, on my survey they said it had moved in the past it had a few cracks but it was built in 1880 so it's hardly going anywhere fast or going to go anywhere!

    Edging Strimmer

    Yes price is appealing think I'm going to try it instead of a 2 stroke we have a big stihl for the heavy stuff. I'd like to know how long the battery lasts though.

    Edging Strimmer

    Sorry I'm in the old app so I can watch videos etc, it doesn't navigate well. Anyway which strimmer😂
  16. If it is like a divorce (eu's wording) coming out of the eu then surely we add all assets, money, savings etc etc up and divide that number by 28 and we take our share with us which I am pretty sure would mean they'll owe us!! £100billion 😂
  17. I'm on 13mm hedera and love it, don't like the feel of 11.7 in the hands.
  18. Why have you gone back to 13mm and which do you prefer?
  19. Once I have cleaned mine, can't remember what tree I was in but it was pissing down and it got really gunked up, shortly after I started using a cambium saver never had the problem or need to clean it since.
  20. What's your weapon of choice? Anyone have one of these, https://www.frjonesandson.co.uk/products/husqvarna-115il-battery-brushcutterstrimmer-kit/ if so what are your thoughts? Thanks
  21. 😂 love it always a reason why we are wrong! Why are you correct eggs? What was you doing whilst waiting for parts from head office? Organising the EU?! Please see my humour and find that funny, or nearly funny🤐
  22. It's refreshing to hear a remainer change his mind as apparently all the remain votes are stead fast whilst brexiteers are quibbling and want another vote to change their minds 😂! Couldn't make it up!
  23. Yes there would because we are in the EU tut tut wake up!!! How can they offer jobs to their own but we can't we are both in the EU! Jeez!
  24. Fair enough but that's the same for 100% of our population in the UK surely?! Personally agree with skyhuck same and worse. Leave may also be worse but we'd never know if we didn't try .... It could ultimately be better😱 shudder at that thought!
