    Just found these on tinterweb of the very one thats sat in our yard at min, first pic i assume is from when it first went in to use, and second one is obviously a time later as can be seen from the colour of it.

    Looks a tidy thing Yolky
  4. Ah bless, i cant play the fiddle and i aint religious tho. ?
  5. “IF” everything quoted in the first statement rings true, then it can be argued from both sides / points of view, that it was the right / wrong thing to do. But the swaying factor that suggests Vesp was wrong to try and create an argument out of it, is down to him stating “conifer” hedge, and not just “hedge”??? In all honesty though as stated above, i’d of trimmed it all flush regardless of extra breeds being in there.
  6. Get Vesp in as your apprentice [emoji6] he wants extra human company, learn more and be a step up from ‘gardening’, his muscles need strengthening! [emoji23]

  8. I’d defo say the latter! I shovelled and wheelbarrowed 7 1/2 tonne of stone and shifted 7 pallets of 4” block this last week! On top of my day job! Your weak in the body as well as your head!!! Face it Vesp, you dont even deserve the title of “gardener” after what you’ve spouted and informed people of this alleged job, go join the W.I.
  9. Fly tipper! [emoji16]
  10. “Quicksteel plastic tank repair kit” used it a few times at work on some plant machines, still going strong.
  11. Started watching season 1 again as some at work has said it holds all the clues/answers to the run up for the big finale! Imp is quality and Jon Snow is feckin aard!
  12. Wants book throwing at him! Had a wealthy prick near us fell a group of trees because they were “in the way of where he wanted to build his wall and they would spoil his view” Just paid his fine and all was forgotten. Bellend! Its wrong!
  13. Spuds nailed your request here. But for future if needed things and if you dont mind 2nd hand, have a look for ‘aladins-other-cave’ on ebay. Really good to deal with and very accommodating, will try to source if need be! [emoji106]
  14. ........................[emoji848]..................NO!
  15. Tidy idea! [emoji106]
  16. Would assume its not all that easy! Think Steve had a large headache sorting the tip site directory out! So cant see a milling directory being a lot different and prob not really fair to try and promote it on here without a lot off back up???
  17. Oohhh..... ??? go on lad! [emoji51]
  18. He lays on his settee with a rake of blankets over him for warmth! Thats living off grid Rough..... God did ya not know! [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849]
  19. Or Ronseal?! Does...... ?

  21. Tyreman at work pulling his hair out just of late trying to source tyres. Hes been in the game for over 35 yrs now and has a LOT of contacts, but struggling like hell for decent stuff such as bridgestone, michelin, hankook etc. A lot of manufacturers are now selling ‘brand new’ tyres that are actually manufactured on old casings. They x-ray/scan the casings for defects and if they are ‘ok’ they re-rubber them and knock em out again. Gone are the days when we used to worry about remoulds eh! ?
  22. Huge demand for rubber these days, and tyres are getting harder to get hold of, marketing and manufacturing prices have shoved a lot of work abroad..... yeah you guessed it, out to china! The rubber plant isn’t as generous as it used to be with climate change. So all the excuses are coming out the woodwork now..... less tread for noise pollution regs, less tread for fuel efficiency, less tread for accommodating different compounds, less tread for more stability [emoji849]? and on the back of it all as usual!!... a cheaper product that doesnt last as long as it did or should, along with a dearer price tag.
