  1. I think you should edit that to any luxury.
  2. Might be worth checking on any potential building line.
  3. Back to the gold standard then.
  4. Steve Bulman is about right, you have to sit out the crash (I did in the eighties) it usually pays off. I looked at crypto a few weeks back when it first fell and thought that I might have a small punt, however I have found it impossible to get Blockchain to verify my identity. So I suppose that I have dodged a bit of a bullet. When times get hard the only things that have value are a bucket of gold and a field to bury it in, or so I've been told.
  5. Well I've just cut and baled 25 acres of hay and about 100 molehills, I just hope the cattle like a bit of grit in their dinner.
  6. You may only have one there. Ounce and one eighth of lead usually disposes of them.
  7. Still got mine.
  8. Reminds me of the Smalley of the sixties. A guy on our site was using one to grub out some apple trees, pushing out the stump with the back of the bucket, the stump rolled back and pinned him there. I had to rescue him with the Drott.
  9. I'd say that was money well earned.
  10. Frightening, I thought the meter must be malfunctioning. Oils bad enough at nearly £1 per litre.
  11. Maybe my birthday being the 29th of Feb has got something to do with it.
  12. You need a chain for the claws to walk along. The two flat hooks cross over with the fence wire between them. This sort of thing.

  13. If they are not connected with you property, just tell them that you don't want any infrastructure on your land.
  14. Still digging holes and felling conifers, my brother in law followed your line of work with Seer TV until Hepatitis knocked it on the head.
  15. Having grown up during the last war in a workman's cottage, with just a kitchen range in the living room (No kitchen, just a scullery) and of course no insulation whatsoever, how did we all survive, as most in our village were in the same boat. Mind you there were some pretty impressive chimney fires. That's me aged one outside our local supermarket.
  16. I sent this picture to Parker Brand as it did not seem right and two days later a new pump arrived and a courier to collect the faulty one.
  17. Similar problem on my 18" saw bench, Belts start to slip (Silently) heat up the pulleys causing the belts to slip more until the sound of the cut changes alerting you to the problem. So most probably the belts are at fault, i.e. not tight enough or past it. Or we are a bit greedy on the cut.
  18. If you can dig the tip out, a couple of days. If not, well I have still got a hard lump from one a couple of years ago and I can still feel it if I bang it. I've got blackthorn all round one of my fields, so a continued battle to keep it back. sometimes I wish that I had never sold my Cat 951.
  19. Probably still got the tip of the thorn in there.

    Oh bugger

    Whenever possible I have always popped crankcase halves in the oven before fitting or removing ball or roller races.
  21. Just filled my cans with E0 from North Heath service station near Pulborough, they said they are not going to stock E10.
  22. Badgers have removed them from here too. ( Found the last remains about four years ago).
  23. If you are truly trying to get rid of the bamboo, then the last option above is the best route, and you might need a bit more than a mini digger. Been there, done that. ( Opposite Hook Heath Golf Club, about half acre of it, some clumps about five feet across).
  24. I've still got muscles on my muscles from using those years ago.
