  1. Skin colour doesn't come into it, theyre not British nationality is the point. What other country would let convicted terroists in, and house them in 4 star hotels. Surprise surprise they commint more crimes. Hardly appreciative of efforts to help them are they. If these African/middle Eastern countries want to send back any British criminals I wouldn't blame them. But seems British people are getting rather raw end of the deal at the moment to say the least.
  2. They're great vans those caddys
  3. Thats a big question, why not watch that video I posted, good place to start answering your question.
  4. I agree, it is
  5. I agree I wouldn't pay the grease and oil, that's maintenance which should be covered by the hire company. Maybe a quick bit of research or a call to a timberwolf dealer will tell you if the price is reasonable for the switch. If they've got to source it and get it in it's probably reasonable they have a small markup on it. In future get hire insurance, an extra cost to the hire but no nasty surprises at the end.
  6. No I don't think so, but any atheists I've ever spoken to have been quite quick to tell me they don't believe anything and don't go by any principles. There may be some atheists in the American government I wouldn't know, but a country doesn't became what America has on no principles does it. Going back to the original topic, you can't deny Kirk had very strong principles, he was so definite in what he believed in and was very happy to discuss why he had that view and what backed it up, which I think is what has made America such a strong economy.
  7. They've become the biggest economy in the world since slavery was abolished so don't think that's entirely true.
  8. No obviously not, I don't think bringing back slavery has ever been suggested or condoned.
  9. Well it has standards, which have made it what it is, so hence it sticks to. Who did he have to blame for that? Yes Kirk was very aligned with Christians, (I think he said himself that colour doesn't come into it though). America through being a Christian country quickly became the greatest country in the world, Trump is 'making America great again' by bringing it back to the values which made it great in the first place, which they'd got away from during Biden presidency. Popular? No not always. Best for America? Yes it seems so, which is his job as president.
  10. I don't watch south park but I can't imagine its a balanced place to base your opinion of anyone on. Everyone has a political view, but to invite anyone to come and debate that with you in front of 1000's of people rather than just air it behind a keyboard is something very very few people would have the courage to do. 'He was never flustered, he never had to raise his voice to be heard or shout over someone. He had a quiet determination to spread his message while giving others the opportunity to come and counter his views with their own and talk about it. He'd often quieten the crowd who heckled the person at the mike even though they had opposing opinion to him, acting to make sure he didn’t promote ridicule or humiliation, but a genuine will to try and understand their point of view. He was silenced by someone who didn't have the intelligence to stand up and debate him' (this paragraph I copied from another post, but think its so true). Its certainly a sad day for America. Very enlightening to watch his opinions on Great Britain, this is someone who didn't go to university, travelling halfway across the world to Oxford University to debate, and it seems understanding the underlying issues of Britain today better than those in power (on both sides);
  11. Probably because they're trade only, give them a call. Might be an option for buying your tyres too
  12. What about one of these, seen one being used. Designed for the kind of size wheels you're talking about, from 4" to 13" I think. TC811B Redwing Pneumatic/Manual Tyre Changer WWW.REDSTONEUK.COM The TC811B is also a new design of an existing concept. With previously manufactured machines, the height below the bead breaker is... Don't know price mind you.

    Basically as only held at a single point each end it's as stable as a tightrope but the width means weight always unbalanced, nigh on impossible, an old funfair con😄
  14. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I understood that most rear handle saws run at the same speed, it's the torque that varies. However top handle saws run at a faster chain speed as designed for small dia cuts, but top handle and faster chain speed increase risk of kickback. So hence not recommended where you don't need to be using one, but no one is going to stop you if that's what you want to do and you seem aware of the risks
  15. Where was this from? Have milwaukee stuff but might look at mixing some makita in if they did a battery deal.
  16. There was that bloke that posted on here a few weeks ago looking for big lumps for his biomass boiler. Offering to arrange artics to collect? Edit; @Woodwanter
  17. In fairness a sherpa isn't a 90t machine with a 5ton demolition shear, so you may well not run into any issues
  18. Hydraulic fittings are measured by inside hose dia(!!) in imperial. I'd reckon on these small loaders being 3/8" or 1/2". Same size fitting just different thread size. They come with a female bsp thread but you can get a male to male adapter for a quid or so if needed. As a side note be interested how you get on if you're using Holmbury, they're not the fitting they once were. Was made by a different manufacturer in Europe now they've moved to China the quality has dropped (I think). Although they insist nothing has changed. Manuli for the absolute best.
  19. Presume a building survey a house buyers survey type thing? If so its very unlikely to tell you anything, other than 'trees near the property we recommend getting a specialist tree survey done' You'll need to find a way of getting a tree survey done if you're worried. Regarding the cracks they'll note that there is cracks but I doubt they'll say what is causing them. But I may well be wrong!
  20. Don't feel we have enough evidence in such a short period, please could you report back in another 25 - 30years so we get a better idea if there's any risks associated with putting fuel and oil in a can and mixing together?
  21. Why try and simplify it, it only complicates things🤪
  22. I have one of these, I've drawn a line with a permanent marker at correct level so I never fill to wrong line by mistake. Measure 2 stroke oil in here, pour it into 5l fuel side of combi can. (Or use 1 shot bottles) Add 5 litres of fuel and a small shake job done. I'm struggling to see how I can complicate it if I tried, it takes seconds. Don't think you need to 'pre mix' it? It doesn't need much mixing or shaking, if you add fuel onto the oil it pretty much does it itself.
  23. Mecalec take forever to deliver parts and don't give lead times so dealer may be waiting on them. I'd be chasing them though otherwise it'll just sit in their yard. Why don't you politely ask if they can lend you a machine until yours is delivered, you never know. Even if they refuse it might speed it up!
  24. Practicality Brown are in Iver I used to deal with them. They'd do this kind of volume in a day I'd think.
  25. Doesn't exactly work like that. They're pretty prompt to get their legal team involved. If you don't pay it gets escalated but not to the people who would get your bins emptied or the road swept. It's basically a tax that goes with owning a property, not an invoice If they're not doing what they should then report to the right dept, missed bin collection, uncut verge, broken streetlight etc Also, the tax funds the council, so covers welfare, social care etc, and also streetlights or road repairs on other roads you drive on (you don't just pay for a streetlight or bit of road outside your house) I believe police and fire brigade funding comes from it too. Also a chunk towards parish council. So unfortunately, not paying will achieve nothing, phoning them and complaining may well do tho. Our council gives a very clear rundown on what the money goes towards, other than social care it's stuff I get something for, or fire/police which I may need one day.
