  1. Fair play to him for going out of his way and getting her some proper help👍. Some would of worked around her and stacked the brash as a screen.
  2. Not unusual for police to just issue a crime No and do sod all else.
  3. Insurance company paid out in less than 2 weeks😳, they should be recommended- who were they, are they one of the main ones?
  4. It’s only a 4/5 month season isn’t it? What you going to do the rest of the year? It’s not as if you can start off in the south and work north to Scotland as the region comes into play like sheep shearing🤔. I suppose if you can earn £300 a day gardening down south like some on here apparently do then you can take the rest of the year off.
  5. Can’t see why these young trees would want aerating anyway, looking at the small area of grass it’s not as if there’s lots of foot traffic or animals in the area of the root system( better phots would help). One tree as had the turf removed which would help, the fact that the watering system is open doesn’t help cos that speeds up the drying out of the ground, especially this summer with the extreme heat, they should be sealed. Remove the ratchets if the trees are established. Don’t think the planters can be blamed in this instance, unless there’s a maintenance contract linked with the planting🤔.
  6. Are they possibly there as a bracing system? One photo shows a steel hawser with a made off eye, left in place till tree established then ratchet strap loosened off and possibly pulled out. As Mick say ratchet strap won’t stop root growing(they’ll grow around it) but will stop base of trunk developing much the same as a girdled root
  7. The last lot of cretins in Kensington were apparently from Scotland , be interesting if they tell us exactly how they made the journey without using any oil based products🤔.
  8. Strange how a misspent youth can make one wise to police procedures🤔
  9. You’ve recited that word for word! Have you heard it a few times yourself 😂
  10. Nice to see someone who asks a question come back and let us know how they resolved the problem.👍
  11. Now there’s a pipeline leaking in Poland 😳. That’s cos all their best plumbers are over here earning a fortune! At least the one that did a job for me is🤔.
  12. When I first started in the industry I bought my first climbing kit from them cos I then worked in Geordieland, still have the old Buckingham harness hung in shed thinking it might be useful one day🙄. Found them to be be a good old fashioned honest company and they still are.
  13. 2000 litres, and you haven’t drunk it all yet? Lightweight! That’s only roughly 5.5 litres a day🤔, well done for still being able to log on to the internet and type though😂
  14. Why does he want £420 when he did another job along the road, lunch time till 3pm waiting time isn’t £420 when they are equally to blame as you are🤔
  15. China are basically supporting Russia so I don’t see Ukraine asking them to rebuild after hostilities finish. China have moved in to Africa in a big way, helping with infrastructure projects in return for minerals(and influence) these countries are now at the mercy of china much the same as pay day loans like a great big fat loan shark bully. Poland are involved because Putin as said at the outset that he wants to go back to the old days of the USSR and and after Ukraine they would be on Putins wish list, as well as Estonia, Lithuania, eastern Germany, the list goes on. These are all now NATO countries. The Polish are a ballsy nation with an ethos and sense of humour much like ourselves, they were hammered by Hitler and then by Russia and they aren’t going to let it happen again. When Hitler invaded the population took them on who were then lined up and shot in their 10s of thousands,, and you wonder why they’re involved after seeing this happening all over again next door in Ukraine?
  16. Why would they be grafted?
  17. It’s not a big topic because the west isn’t receiving any gas through it for the time being. Blowing this pipeline is quite an easy task for a few nations. What’s not going to be easy is hiding the evidence of what was done, and how I’d was done and with what🤔. It’s happened in quite a relatively small area as far as the length of the two pipelines are concerned. The evidence is there on the seabed for someone to find(follow the bubbles)and analyse. It’s a big wake up call for the west because it shows how vulnerable we are with oil rigs, shipping, fuel transfer, communication cables, power production and distribution, water, food supply lines, etc. Putin doesn’t need nukes to screw the west.
  18. No Mick, just nothing on the TV, time on my hands, normally I’d just pass on thread deviation and not give a dam but just wondered how 4 pages (to date)can evolve from so little info. Your right though I suppose it’s not the first and definitely wont be the last time. On second thoughts I’ve a bucket full of old saw chains I could go and sharpen just in case I might have a use for them in the future🤔
  19. Normally try and spend 2 days at this show but “her who must be obeyed” booked a holiday which got us home late Friday so ended up attending for one day on Saturday. It was a last minute decision because there were quite a few negative comments on social media which had me thinking was it worth the effort🤔. As it turned out I thought it was a good show but a shame the demo areas in the wood were missing. I’m in the market for a new chipper so was keen to see and compare. The Forst stand was easy to spot cos it’s such a recognisable brand. As soon as I saw lots of chippers with with the engine covers up I new I was on the Forst stand😂
  20. The OP hasn’t said how the photo was taken, if it’s on private land or not, who’s job it was, what exactly the circumstances were etc, or what the photo is posted on yet lots of the replies have jumped to conclusions and debate turning into a grammar/ spelling lesson🤔or should that be grammer🤓.
  21. Old unused football field? Why unused? a far better amenity than a wood of whips surely? We’ve lost more football pitches than woodlands.
  22. Sorry to hear about the theft and damage Ben, total scum bags. Good call on “do what they likies”. Locate caravan sites and then nearby woods and any maze fields remaining for the kit being left for any trackers to be ruled out. Vehicle tracks would be obvious in recent weather into those type of areas.
  23. Fair enough. I’m sure when we had a bobcat 27 the tracks used to scrape up the inside but that was probably me🤔.
  24. Doubt the GH1054 would be wide enough for most 2.6 ton diggers?
