I am not sure Husqvarna still produce it, certainly not for the EU market. The emissions where set by the EU, seems that only the UK adheres to it. I got a new Stihl 361 a couple of years back from Poland.

France. Saws are more expensive here, a 346 is around €700.

That’s a sound bite from The Daily mail right there. Brexit has stumbled because the membership of the EU is a very complex arrangement to untangle. The British have been poor/slow in negotiations and there was never a plan in place in case the vote went Leave, Cameron simply didn’t believe it would go that way. The British demanded a Hard border, still haven’t sorted the problem with Northern Ireland and that’s nothing to do with EU demands. So as an ‘English man living in England’ what benefits have you seen for the UK economy from Brexit? I don’t want Google’s links to Tory rags thanks, or blaming Covid, Ukraine or the EU like a 10 year old. Have you got any tangible benefits that you can think of, I haven’t? And as an English man currently living in France, but an home owner with regular work in England, I have an interest in the Old Country, whatever that means?

You can still get brand new 346xp’s here too.

Not all parties/Mp’s supported all measures at all times, they where simply ignored. It wasn’t just politicians to blame, the general public played a role too, having their vaccines and towing the line like good little boys, being complicit in the whole charade.

All the ones I’ve felled in the UK have been shot, not sure wether it was because they are ornamental hybrids or due to wet/heavy soil up North. They coppice it here like Sweetchestnut, grows gun barrel straight, the deer won’t browse the regen because of the thorns but the boar love it, and the hunters love the boar.
-
But there has only been one party in charge of Covid and Brexit, what other parties have suggested/would have done us irrelevant, they where not in charge of the decision making then or now.
-
Yeah, hard a hell and burns great, got 10 tonnes @ 50/50 Oak/Robinia firewood in the barn.
-
The same incompetent government that led us through Covid are the same government overseeing and implementing Brexit, some folk are quickly becoming the Skyhucks of the Brexit world.
-
Yeah, I was shot Stubby, I edged my bets that I should make a change whilst not carrying any serious injuries, no regrets.
-
Not heard of any shortages here. I wasn’t in the market for one to tell you the truth, I only popped into the dealer to buy some premix fuel and they where there, all shiney and pretty, had to wait a week for the xpg version though.

I was doing 6 days commercial Forestry and Sunday sharpening up and planning for Monday, for the last 15 years in the UK. Paid the mortgages off but did sod all else except work. Moved to France before the Brexit cut off, I’ve done two 5 day weeks in the last 2 years, usually aim for 3 days and no more, I need a day a week to maintain the garden and plot. Spent most of the Summer spending time with the kids on the River, my body is thanking me now.
-
I’ve got one to drop tomorrow. Out of interest, for a timber that is very resistant to rot when put in the ground, have you ever felled one that wasn’t shot/rotten at the base?
-
No one’s saying Covid hasn’t been an economic disaster, but Brexit has influenced it as well. The same Government who led us into Brexit is the same lying scum that led us into Covid, or have you forgotten that?
-
There are lots of them too J, but what’s the point in posting them here?
-
Where did this criteria shit come from? I asked you a simple question, give me a list of benefits from Brexit to the UK economy, I didn’t ask for spurious links or put criteria in place, just a simple question, person to person, give me some examples that YOU know of, you can’t as I can’t, it’s that simple.
-
When I've had a list from you that isn’t directly from Tory Government pages, non Brexiteer affiliated and doesn’t include any factors that can hide behind Covid or Ukraine as a contributing factor.
-
Okay, I’ll put the kids to bed, google for a minute and post some spurious links a bit later, yawn.
-
Is this aimed at me? Get a government that has a clue what to do about the cluster**************** they have got the UK into would be a start, there’s no going back now.
-
There are loads of lists to find, just as spurious as yours, check em out, your great at googling the answer.
-
The fact is, if there was anything amazing to brag about concerning Brexit and the benefits to the UK economy, Farage and every other Tory Brexiteer would be shouting from the rooftops, they have nothing to brag about and neither have you.
-
How long do you think you can hide the fact that Brexit has been disastrous for the UK economy behind the Covid cop out?
-
I could google ‘Brexit detriment to the UK economy’ and put up the link, it would take seconds, but what would be the point? It like saying ‘My dads bigger than your dad’.
-
Yeah, but it was the quickest thing he could come up with as he has an empty list, it’s right at the top in any search engine.
-
I asked you for a list of benefits that Brexit has brought to the UK economy, you came back with none. I didn’t ask you to type ‘benefits of Brexit’ in a search engine, I can do that myself.
