One of those things I always think that's a good idea when it comes up in a post then promptly forget to get the serial numbers together and do it. As already said all layers are useful. So kicked my own bum will get on and do it. It's free after all.

I have a 450e and it is my go to saw I use in maintaining my woodland. Only thing i don't like about it is the tooless adjustment. Also have an 026 and 251 but Husky does everything I need and just feels so well balanced to use rather than the Stihls.

My neighbour drives an ambulance he was on over £50k a year two years ago the retired and took his very good pension then was allowed to go back again must be coining it in. It's the unskilled workers doing the menial but necessary tasks who I think should get a decent rise.

My better half has been 'seeding' our woodland edges, which are a bit sparse with fair bit of dead elm, with crab apples, noticeably all have disappeared smartish whereas usually hang around for ages.

Please Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

From an article 21 years old - nothing changes. Old enough to remember 78/79 and how bad it was. No more beer and butties | Derek Brown | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM The relationship between trade unions and Labour leaders, when they get into power, is always both sweet and sour, says Derek Brown. Jim Callaghan fared little better in his brief stint at Number 10, from 1976 to 1979. Indeed, the issue which did more than any other to undermine his administration was the so-called winter of discontent in 1978 to 1979, when it seemed that every public sector union was determined to destroy the government. If that was the intention, it worked. In the spring of 1979, the Conservatives surged back to power, on a platform which promised to do to the unions what they had done to the Callaghan government. In the years that followed, the movement was bludgeoned into submission, as employment law tilted massively towards bosses and away from workers. With Labour back in power, not a lot has changed. The old verities - redistribution of wealth, public sector growth, employment protection - seem almost quaint in their irrelevance. But at least the grub's better at Number 10.

The worst thing is the NHS hospitals appointing/creating managerial positions like it's going out of fashion at exorbitant salaries circa £200k. Asking for 19% was never going to go well.

Please don't confuse me by moving me into an over 70's group I struggle enough remembering things as it is .

Has any of the work granted under planning permission started? If it has you are ok as usually no time limit to complete. If nothing started you may find permission has expired and it's a start again job. Depending on the nature of the site do you need a felling licence? Mine recently took two months.

You'd think California would be worrying more about their water shortage crisis than small petrol engines.

I'd check with your local council as they may have TPOs, or be in a conservation area or be the subject of a planning condition relative to the site. You would also need to talk to the FC ref a felling licence if over 5 cubic metres in a quarter as others have said. Get it wrong and it could work out very expensive.

Been having this problem on a number of websites for a while now.

Great news

And as others have said the woodland belongs to someone, you need to get permission or you could end up being accused of theft and/or criminal damage. That branch or pile of wood laying on the ground might be habitat left there for Countryside Stewardship purposes. If I found you in my wood without permission we would be having a few short and to the point words and I know the local Rural Crime Team who respond very quickly! Get permission and save yourself a lot of bother. Don't forget you may have to split the wood etc. Be careful chainsaws are not to be trifled with you should get chainsaw trousers.

Ford have said they will end 'goodwill' scheme end of November so if anyone still may be affected get in quick.

Sounds like I should be grateful to have missed that one

Nah you've forgotten Ivy.

So basically switch to Aspen, it's better for the environment and you - great, ticks boxes so feeling good about myself. Unfortunately if you have previously used pump fuel in your saw a rebuild is likely coming your way so even if you don't want to carry on using it you're still stuck with a repair bill - or am I missing something? Do Aspen inform potential new users of this likelihood? If not and your saw has problems I can see unhappy people, not everybody is aware of the potential downside.

Thank you for the facsimile of your wonderfull firewood. My kidnappers have burnt this and find it burns too quickly so have upped the ransom so can you please send many more facsimilies please. Can you also send details of your Woodsure membership so they can be assured regarding moisture content. My prayers are with you.

That's clever well done

Dead right Mick, they are upside down see Para 1.33 Part J Building Regs. Also connector to stove flue is wonky, would drive me mad looking at it at an angle. Doesn't look to me as if you would be able to remove the stove without dismantling the chimney system which I think means it doesn't comply with building regs but may be wrong on that bit.
