  1. ● Travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home. 3. STOPPING PUBLIC GATHERINGS To make sure people are staying at home and apart from each other, the Government is also stopping all public gatherings of more than two people. There are only two exceptions to this rule: ● where the gathering is of a group of people who live together - this means that a parent can, for example, take their children to the shops if there is no option to leave them at home. ● where the gathering is essential for work purposes - but workers should be trying to minimise all meetings and other gatherings in the workplace. These are the two key bits relating to continuing to work BUT is your work so essential that someone's life is put at risk?

  3. Just been watching the news on the beeb, showed scenes inside Madrid hospital, patients laying in corridors on the floor. Not all old people either, saying 10 doctors dead and 1 in 10 medical staff infected. Sobering watching.
  4. Sorry to hear that, hope all goes well. 100% agree about lockdown etc, mad scenes over here at the weekend, don't people see what's happening in Italy and Spain?
  5. Sign the petition and make them take notice Petition · Realistic government financial support for self-employed · Change.org CHNG.IT Realistic government financial support for self-employed
  6. Please accept my condolences and also my apologies for the strength of my comments to you. In my defence my wife suffers badly from asthma and having previously seen her blue in the face struggling to breathe I obviously feel strongly about social distancing as she is very much at risk. These are difficult times and we should all be more thoughtful and caring of others.
  7. So you're quite happy to risk spreading a virus that can kill and is wrecking the economy rather than cancel a family get together. Disgraceful selfish attitude, you deserve every bit of flack heading your way.
  8. At local Budgens they said people were grabbing things off the delivery truck as they were trying to unload it - good job we live in a civilised society. They'll be mugging you for your shopping as you come out of the shops next.
  9. Reckon you've more chance of finding a pack of toilet rolls in Tescos!
  10. No don't do that you'll get two weeks extra free, bargain!
  11. I blame it all on that Eve woman, everything in the garden was rosy until she screwed it all up, downhill all the way since.
  12. Have you tried Rob D at chainsawbars.co.uk on this forum?
  13. IIRC ozito batteries are the same as Einhell for anyone who's already got some Einhell 18v kit. Toolstation and Wickes do Einhell. Tempted as cheap and portable.
  14. Utmost respect awesome job
  15. Not good, I must have been lucky Rushden had 3 at about 11 this morning.
  16. Bought one this morning for £80 whats not to like for occasional use. Seems well put together and quick test seems to work fine. 3 year warranty plus spares available. Thanks for the heads up.
  17. Try Lumag bloody predictive text!
  18. Almost certainly Chinese but Lumag seem to have good support set-up in uk. https://dccf75d8gej24.cloudfront.net/documents/BSW66GL-MANUAL.pdf Have a look at manual, link above
  19. Mt go to saw is my 450e which is used regularly and had it for at least 8 years. Simple to maintain and nice balance. Used in our 52ha woodland and felled hundreds of spruce and elm over the years a great simple reliable saw much better than stihl 026 and 251 which are my backup saws.
  20. Great for left handed people and looks as if can swap over with one spanner bound to be a winner, needs work on the tensioner though!
  21. Public rights of way: landowner responsibilities - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK As the owner or occupier of land with a public right of way across it, you must keep the route visible and not obstruct or endanger users. Does the bridleway belong to owner of trees to be extracted? If not permission is required from landowner. Motorised vehicles not permitted on Bridleway except with landowner's permission. It is a right of way and does not belong to local authority. Talk to footpaths officer they are usually very helpful regarding special situations expensive to close even for short while.
  22. Excellent company to deal with, when items I ordered turned out to be out of stock was phoned promptly received apology and received without asking upgraded product at no extra cost.
  23. Can confirm my 026 still on original drum bearing can't remember when I last greased it lol, used regularly in woodland maintenance/felling/firewood. Owned from new, has been a good saw, no issues whatsoever.
  24. You need to get a chartered surveyor to look at this and advise.
  25. Italian alder
