  1. Ours haven’t!! We are considering stopping putting seed out for a few days. I keep expecting to see Alfred Hitchcock shouting “action” 😂
  2. Sorry, but this becoming a problem now. I would hazard a guess at over 100 of them. In fact we are seeing less of other birds now just by being crowded out!! We may have to stop feeding them!! the trouble is they are flighty my phone camera isn’t great at zoom - despite Apples advertising!!
  3. This is great to hear!! Hopefully my post has got people looking out for them - or second looking when they think they see greenfinches
  4. It is the magic trick that the government does. Loading more funding for national (police/fire etc) into the council levy so they can offer a minuscule reduction in NICS - but they still have more money to throw to certain places like protecting non-uk places of worship, boaters etc…

    I wondered where the mother-in-law had got to 😂
  6. Had them for about a month now - they are getting plenty of food but the bank balance is being affected 😂
  7. But we are the magic money tree!! feel sorry for leaseholders- they have double whammy of unscrupulous people/organisations who dip their hands freely into their pockets
  8. I did try to catch it in the afternoon but it could fly well enough. However it wasn’t seen yesterday at all
  9. Some photo’s I was able to take yesterday. These seem to be of fledglings (possibly the same one as they were taken several hours apart
  10. Well, I do work in IT 😂😂
  11. Sorry about you receiving this - it was supposed to go to @Penelope!!
  12. £3k here - 9% increase with 5% increase for police and town when we moved here 20 years ago it was cheaper than Cheshire - the next county/country over but the way it has increased over the past several years is a joke Apparently the increase in Assembly Members by over 50% will have another big impact on council tax when it happens ☹️
  13. I do lots of things - but the success rate varies!!
  14. Well, pleased as punch!! my lads Sony Bluetooth headset broke (don’t buy Sony as it is a known problem) so one of the cups was dangling. Unfortunately this model is “cheap” - still £100 - and you can only take them apart so far, not far enough to fix this issue (you can on XM4’s) so - I bought a pair of eBay that had been water damaged but were intact. Well, last night - armed with a soldering iron and wearing two pairs of glasses - I transplanted the PCB’s from a known working but physically broken pair into a known not working but physically intact. Some very fine wires in there but got it done and back together. AND THEY WORKED!!!!! So, today it was time to have a go at the car which has been flagging up “coolant level low” for several months, caused by a float sensor going. I purchased a new expansion tank a while back but every time I planned to do it the weather worked against me. So, an hour spent and a £50 part I have it done, warning didn’t come on after doing it, ready for the MOT next week So double success in 24 hours!!! When is the lottery on?? 😂
