  3. For Sale Stihl Chainsaw and Hedge Trimmer

    in Other Sales

    Posted

    Hi,

    Up for sale , Stihl MS211 chainsaw good condition used the other day to take out some trees and now very much surplus to requirements.

    Starts and runs, cuts well but could probably do with a sharpen and a quick clean up. £200

    Have also got a Stihl HS45 hedge trimmer, starts and runs and cuts well with plenty of power. Not used since last autumn though so could again do with a clean up £70

    Would prefer the items to be collected due to size and what they are.

    Located in Lichfield, Staffs

  6. Gardener - Nr Tunbridge Wells

    Hi Folks,

    An appeal to the masses, not for me but an elderly relative who has a large plot that needs some help with the garden. Unfortunately as is the world now a days my Aunt is being well and truly ripped off by some folks for grass cutting / strimming. Latest is to mow the orchard using her own sit on mower and leave the cuttings on site - 60 quid. Took about an hour she said and didnt do a great job by the sound of it.

    If any one can PM if they do this kind of work we can have a chat ref going rates in the area etc??

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    I have one I built years ago, built using some ideas from the following book. Used normal solid clay bricks halved, dome is approx 1m rendered and then re bricked with slips over the top for effect.

    Not only Pizza but roasts too, use it for cold smoking along with a small smoke generator. 

    It's a nice project to have a go at but does take some time and effort but results are well worth it.

    Cheers

    Allot of pubs have gone that route around here but just didn't last, spent too much and expected too much return on the prices. A pity some good old village pubs hve been ruined, Meynel Ingram being an example at Newbrough. 

     

    Not really my idea of an old fashioned country pub, more like bistro diners. 

    What sort if reception do you get walking into the bar with boots or wellies on covered in mud with your wet shooting gear on (talking rough shooting here not the fancy dress styles) Farmer labourers having a drink after a days muck spreading, smelling of cow muck. 

    My local sells beer, crisps,nuts and lager stuff.

    Dart board and pool table.

    Quarry tiles and wooden floor boards. 

    Those links posted are more like a night out for a meal, nice but not the country pub I'm used to.

    The Cock at Hanbury then Dougy?? Must be local to.me ! 

     

    Cheers

    Hi

    Just binned a red top fly trap we had from poundworld closing down sale. It's been in the garden by the chicken pen for a week and it's full ! Stinks to high heaven now but I suppose 6 inches deep of dead flies doesnt help!

  17. Southwell Ploughing Match - Cancelled

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    Just a heads up if anyone was planning on going as we do every year - show has been cancelled as site waterlogged.

     

    Shame as one of the last decent shows of the season

     

    Cheers

    It is with great regret, that following a Health & Safety meeting held on the show site at midday today (28.09.17), the 2017 show has been cancelled The Show site has become waterlogged and, with considerably more rain scheduled for the next 24 hours, it has been necessary to cancel on the basis that we cannot be sure of the safety of our volunteers and visitors. Clearly, this decision has not been taken lightly. We are very sorry as we are aware of the huge amount of work and input from everyone involved from stall holders, competitors to committee members. The process of refunds will be confirmed at a later date as our main concern today is letting everyone know of the cancellation Finally, we really are sorry to be sharing such disappointing news with you at such a late hour but we have recognised our responsibilities and taken appropriate action. I hope that we can welcome you back next year to a dry and sunny site.

  24. Who no longer uses a landline

    No landline here, had it cancelled a long time ago but I did port the BT number to a VOIP provider so we retained the landline number. Our internet is delivered via rural wireless solution so dont need a physical line for internet.

     

    £2 pound a month rental for the VOIP and only charged for calls on PAYG, cant remember last time had a bill as just pre buy calls in £10 blocks.

     

    Cheers
