Probably not helped this year by a lot of driving through flooded roads.
Our tyre man has some special gunk to seal alloy rims, they seem to leak round the beadProbably not helped this year by a lot of driving through flooded roads.
Battery terminal clamp nuts.
Size 10, 12, 13 and something a bit bigger than 13 but less than 14 or 9/16. Pocket full of spanner’s needed to move a battery from combine to sprayer.

I sometimes wonder why we didn’t just stick with BSW. My beet harvester is entirely BSW, you can recognise sizes by eye and you need surprisingly few spanner’s.1/4 BSW or 5/16 BSF are both 13.335mm
Or just carry a shifter?
It’s outrageous. Parasites taking it off peoples hard work. I order stuff from the States. Sometimes it gets through alright, sometimes they hold it to ransom or the postman wants a bung for C and E.Ordered some decals from New Zealand for a machine I have refurbished, 75$nz but there are quite a few and come rolled up in a tube. That's ok I thought but 58 $ for postage! Waited a couple of weeks but no sign of them so emailed the company to see if there was a tracking number. bloody things have been sitting with Parcel force in Exeter since Sept 4th waiting for a payment for customs. Nobody had ever notified me that they were there or that there was money due. Bigger shock £29 to pay on goods that cost £37.50. How can they justify that and how can I do anything about it?

Had a letter this morning demanding PAYE monies owed.
Double checked, had been paid on time and in full.
So phone call to check, after 10 minutes of saying what the issue was, Various numbers, address,post code etc etc.
Finally get through to ring tone to be told they are aware of an issue with duplicate letter being sent out in error.
Why not say that at the beginning of the message not after 10 bloody minutes!!!
Grrrr!
Should of just said “yeah I’ll do it it’s going to cost you £150 upfront though seems my hedge cutting is clearly shite I need to earn some money before I loose all my customers “ f**king bellend he soundsStopped work by the local nutter
“Can you hedgecut my ditch out as you pass by”
Me “No sorry I’m working for this farm today, when’s your hedgecutter man coming”
“He isn’t, he didn’t do what we wanted last year and he is banned from here”
me “you better wait for your own man I’m working for this farm today with lots to do”
“Just do it for me and I will pay the farmer”
Me “no I better not, just hang on till you get organised”
“Well I want it doing right now”
Me “I better get on”
“I would get you to do my hedges again but we don’t like how you do it”
Me “that’s fine no problem”
“I’ll pay you to do it the ditch right now”
Me “you normally take 6 months to pay!”
“Just bloody well do it for me”
I just drove away
It’s a woman! She’s mad, I’m working for someone else but she suddenly needs hers doing “today” expecting me to come and do it ASAP and my customer pay for it then she will pay him back while being insulted that I do a crap job!Should of just said “yeah I’ll do it it’s going to cost you £150 upfront though seems my hedge cutting is clearly shite I need to earn some money before I loose all my customers “ fudgeing bellend he sounds
Was all set to go Longtown for Mule ewe lambs this morning. Phone went at 5.10am, it's the police.
"We believe there are 2 dogs chasing your sheep"
"where?!"
"On the main road heading for the M6 J16"
Bare in mind these are lambs out on winter keep 30 miles from home. Rang brother, shot off down there. Find 300 lambs on the bypass banking being held there by bobbies. The dogs have done one. Ask for help too put lambs back the mile and a half too where they belong. I might as well have asked them too strip. They are more interested in telling me I shouldn't let my sheep get on the road. Eventually talk one into going down the road, stopping the traffic while we drive the lambs back. Fence is totally knotted up and buggered so start taking that apart to re erect it. No point even thinking about Longtown by this point.
I ring farmer and tell him what's. even going on. Police car pulls up and bobby comes too tell me that I will be billed for the police time holding the sheep there until my arrival. I'm not in a good mood already by this point. Just as I'm about too flare these 2 dogs appear in the field again running my lambs round. I ring farmer, he comes. Shoots both dogs. Police man watches it all. I go towards him to vent my frustration and point out it's not my bloody fault dogs chased my lambs through 3 strand electric and onto main road. He must have seen the thunder in my face, he jumped in his car and did one. Not a happy sheep farmer today!!!!!
