    Vacuum Cleaner Suction vs Wattage: Have you been fooled? XO2.COM.AU Wattage does not equal more suction power. Learn why suction and airflow really matter. Watts just tells us how... Apparently it's all about suction and airflow, not watts or EU regulations

    Apparently Lineker did host a refugee in his home back in 2021. We have a Syrian family living locally who seem to have settled in well to rural Cumbria.

    Which cars look so outlandish that you don't want to drive them? Electric mini looks like a mini. Tesla model S looks like a generic saloon. New Audi looks like a yummy mummy's SUV. BMW id3 looked a bit different but had some genuine engineering reasons for doing so.

    Have you got a source for this because I couldn't find anything after a quick Google.

    I don't think we do have a large %of forest. According to a quick Google search around 13%. 138th out of 191 countries.

    Little stove was installed 10 years ago ish and smokes when first lit out of door not top plate if the wind is in the wrong direction and windows are closed. Rayburn doesn't smoke. If chimey has good draw there shouldn't be an issue with a removable top plate

    Quick Google search suggests they burn less coal per capita than Australia and Poland to name two countries. Germany likes a bit of coal electric but import it from Poland for green credentials.

    If the trees are a threat to the railway there is a good chance network rail will remove them free of charge. Other contractors who might operate in that area are QTS and taziker.

    I think the British tested nukes in Australia in the 1950s. Doesn't mean it is a shithole though

    My woodburner has an external twin wall flu and also has a problem with smoking when first lit. I tend to open a window before I light it and close the window a minute later. Once warm it has no issues.

    I never knew that kettles had been regulated against as well

    I've got a Chinese 660. It's done a bit of milling, a bit of felling larger trees and a bit of firewood. No major issues, just the starter chord mechanism is a bit soft. Oil cap can undo itself unless tightened with a combi spanner. I don't do a lot with big trees anymore so didn't want to spend £1000ish on a proper one. It is considerably more powerful than my mates old and tired Stihl 660.

    Lad I know used to run his Stihl 440 on a 13 bar. I don't like putting anything bigger than a 13 on my husqvarna 550.

    As long as you have a sewn termination or spliced eye knotability is a bit of a non issue. Irata lads have to tie alpine butterfly, figure of 8knots and bunnies ears. Beal access rope can be bought for less than £1 a meter. Not as nice to look at or use as an Arborsts rope though

    No tax = no road maintenance, no schools, no universities, no NHS, no rail infrastructure, no pensions or unemployment benefits. Would also lead to mass unemployment.

    13 on a 550xp for me. Less teeth to sharpen and cuts a bit quicker than a 15 inch bar and chain. Mate used to run a Stihl 440 on a 13inch bar, that was a bit of an animal

    Seems to be a lot of concern about how much archaeologists and ecologists are getting paid. The bs5837 survey has and will be worth a few quid. That's before the actual site clearance work. Instead of moaning about how much it will cost jump on the gravy train!
  23. patrickgalloway3
    HS2 will cost a lot but if it reduces the number of cars on the road it will benefit many people. The construction cost is high but rail journeys don't always cost a fortune and can be a relatively stress free way of traveling. Kendal to Manchester airport for £6.50 one way means it can be cheaper than driving. My brother in-law spends a lot of time in London and usually takes the train, his take on it is that capacity is the problem not speed. Even if HS2 is expensive the old line can be used for those not on company expenses.

    I did a couple of months on the tree survey for HS2.

    Years ago I had to remove some poplars that had mysteriously died in someone's yard. The owner of the yard had asked network rail to remove the trees the year before and had been told no as they were not a risk to the railway. After the trees got ringbarked network rail were happy to pay for their removal! Network rail really don't like trees falling on their lines so if it can be suggested that the tree poses a threat to the line they may well remove them free of charge.
