  1. OK put another way, I've never seen internal casing look that bad in the way of staining, for a machine that hasn't been rotorvating, one of the biggest flaws with that 231 was plastic housing, tiny bit of warping can also cause lack of oiling.. You'll have to buy one and find out! But that whole range 211,231, 250, 251 were dire built and not good with reliability... Think brummie car built by Germans
  2. Well I have to say that alot of the trans community that are inside currently are there due to sexual offences.. Not good
  3. Looking at the condition of it, have you been rototorvating or cutting dirty wood without sharpening the saw chain? If u have then the chances are you've warped the plastic engine housing and it won't oil properly. But mine wasn't as stained as that on the inside, mine did it after doing a stump and making sure it was uber sharp... Sold it on ebay. Better off buying a echo Cs 310,, got three years of pro use before it started sucking in air, stihl isn't what it used to be, but the still Ms 231 was a nice saw to do firewood with
  4. Think also the council will take the view the tree was there before the house. You can see trees that have been damaged by "builders" driving plant. Tree dies off the side that compaction/ groundwork have taken place on... Always makes me wonder why people buy houses next to established trees, then try and stick carports underneath!
  5. I'd not go that far yet...... 😂 How ever, the other day I turned upto a job where the was numerous palms, cordlines, trachs! And guess what, the was about 10 of them growing with bamboo, vines and some specimen trees.... It's a small garden. Great! *forgot the other thing with these plants you have to quote a bar and a chain or two.. Because of the grit within the tree.... So they are a pain!
  6. Seens, their a bugger to raise the canopy on, horrible to fell or dismantle and even worse to grub out by hand... They are a nightmare... I live in a coastal area where part time gardeners plant them... Leave them and forget them.. They are a pain.. Then don't forget that they can't be chipped, 90%water based and £100 a ton to get rid of green waste... I can say unless there in a botanical garden, or you've access for a digger to remove them, they are an absolute hunt of a plant... They're on par with, knot weed, himilayan balsam, ragwort, bamboo and rhododendron... That delightful victorians brought back.
  7. Cut them down 5"from.the ground and get on with it!
  8. Not worth the hassle, they are also expensive to be disposed of, they will lift walls/slabs, unless kept in a pot they aren't worth it
  9. County Council are gods really bud, we've had them dictate, work only at night, only in winter and restrictions on times to avoid peak traffic!
  10. Get traffic management in, then it's all there hassle, should if and when it goes wrong. If you do the streetworks ticket, you can either be a supervisor, or an operative - but not both.... Also a second set of insurance as arb insurance won't cover setting up traffic management, ud need a hole different company set up to do solely the tm,. For the sake of amberon charging £500 a day ud be better of using them. If u met all the criteria crap, you'd still naff up on the traffic management plan..... Only county council approved contractors can do it, even though it looks like a 12 year old has doodles a load of road signs on an os map!
  11. Gawd knows bud, just remember them in the Royal agricultural show at Stoneleigh Warwickshire,... But they're not far away from where you're based, How about upm tilhill and fountain forestry? They might not be still going, also I'm showing my age😂
  12. What about chantler timber?
  13. Have you looked at woodlots? Online, it sells all many of stuff from small producers
  14. Get a better close up of the leaves, are you referring to the yellowing of the leaves?
  15. Your missing the obvious about UK people, that the are a certain group of people who think they're to good to do manual jobs... Their still hoping to have a degree job and the arogancy that goes with it.. Yet being a plant driver you earn more than a uni bod!
  16. Not being funny, but what does Wales really produce? It's got no industry... And relies on eu grants, if your going to comment about brexit and leaving the EU, you have to cover everything as this is politics can't cherry pick certain topics it's all of it, If we were going to fanny around with the EU, then we should have had a democratic vote about it... Not going in the back door and buggering it up again. It's democracy, just some people didn't like the fact of the process, wrongly or rightly.
  17. Is this general grade chip? Ie gone through any type of chipper as volume reduction? Or has it gone through biomass chippers so it's the perfect chip? If its average chip then it will be £21 ton if its graded clean chip ie g 70 or something like that and has gone through biomass then from 10 year ago it was closer to 100 a ton, but that was few years ago and south Dorset price, quite far from Didcot
  18. Still able to get them?
  19. Still got them?
  20. Still got the 365?
  21. Didn't mention newlyn I was comparing and saying where I pulled into Norway the second biggest port/processing area was something smaller than thought considering Norway is so into its fish, and the whole thing about it being out of the EU with a good deal, yet we had a good fishing fleet and we've been fkd over again.
  22. Rover cars went tits up due to people getting greedy and wanting more money for relatively unskilled work, plus also the money they were on was good money in the mid 90s, just silly enough to follow a trade union. Type two, poor food or poor food choices is poverty, but u can be poor but still eat well, but u can't fix poor lifestyle choices.... Thes always hope, maybe it's my mind set.. And yes it was 2003, I lived on my own and the was zero work around, wether it was arboriculture, landscaping, amenity horticulture, site work or anything to do with equestrian work... So i had to cycle or run to work, live off a £5er a week for food... Until I got paid... It was hard because if you were lone parent, single mom, the was help, single male and u miss out on everything. And the were no food banks then, no luxuries like make up, mobile phones, hair dye, painted nails (not that I'm into that) but an example of skewed priorities. Also the sky TV thing was a local vicar was telling me about his conversation with adult social services when running a food bank!!!!!
  23. I did a cruise of the Norwegian fjords, a native on the tour said the port we pulled into said "this is norways second biggest fish processing port" it's was tiny not that impressive in the way of ports or fish processing plants bearing in mind norways out of the EU and has heavy involvement in fishing... But il ask the other half when she gets in, because although I visited the place I can't remember where it was.... Bar the was an echo dealership there!
  24. Humour me, then, so what did the Indians bring with them, the Italians and then the americans? The gumph regarding kraft... Hate to say it but the EU gave them a grant before with left the EU, that was before kraft took them over.... way before, but if you valued the product and workforce why don't u build a factory on the outskirts of bham? You have the product and the workforce....... As goes for rubbish food, no one makes you eat "rubbish food" nothing wrong with any food as long as u burn it off and eat it moderation. If your loosely trying to make a link between poverty, fast food obesity and type 2 diabetes.... That's lame.. People in this country dont know what poverty is. It's skewed proities and dire lifestyle choices. Since when is sky TV classed as a necessity? That's the difference, coming from someone who's done bread and jam diet, knocked on people's doors in stoke to make a bit more cash... And has had to walk or run 7 miles each way to work.... Then do a manual job until work picked up....
  25. Oh I don't know about the bigger block thing, I mean Norway has its deal with eu and seems to do quite well out of it, even if norways 2nd biggest fishing port looked small compared to Brixham.. Tiny to be honest.... Regarding the EU I can't helping thinking, we've lost massey furgeson out of Coventry, Ford tractors, but can't remember why they moved abroad as I was a child then. But I did see cadburys moving abroad with a grant from the EU, bang that's numerous people out of work, thinking of the other factories that were given grants before brexit to move abroad... Then thes the legal crap from the EU as well🙄 As goes for food, again ever immigrant brought their own dish over here, and it's not for government to police, how ever unless u have a medical condition, you should not be over weight. What I do think should of happend is we don't have aspartame in every drink, sugar would have been better rather than us healthy people paying the price for fatties!. Think in sweden coca cola has no phosphoric acid in, and yes it did taste better for it!
