+1 for this method. Easiest way in the long run. SS

In my dreams!😁 SS

+1 for cut🙁 SS

Yes. All of a sudden. Perhaps wetter & warmer weather has helped. I have read that death by hemlock is a good death. Perhaps better than lying drooling in an old peoples home that smells of wee and your lights are on but no one is home🥲 SS

I had a bit of help, with stripping out the innards of my derelict Victorian farmhouse, from a bunch of local builder lads. They worked hard from 7.30 each day. Mrs SS did cake Friday for them. Each got to chose their favourite cake on Fridays and if there was any remaining they took this home...

Ah yes 1976. Had a fire from a discarded fag-end which in sequence burned a hedge then leaped into a (luckily) harvested and baled wheat field, crossed that quicker than a running man, finally starting a forest fire in a young mixed softwood plantation. Every fire appliance in the county...

I used to visit The Royal Show, The Game Fair and The APF, not necessarily all in the same year but as a tool/ sounding board on subjects such as you’re asking about. My last major enquiry was to follow the ‘Tree Safety’ rabbit and put together a roadside tree safety programme on behalf of my...

Modern Archimedes screw! SS

And in particular, electrical stuff🙁 FFS! SS
