    Bradford metal lathe

    Lovely machine, though if it were mine I couldn't resist polishing up the tool post, its fittings and any other bits in view. Even an overnight in vinegar would give you a decent grey bare metal look which when oiled looks just right. Well Done !!

    "Acorn Yard" Origin of field name ?

    Not far from me is a pub called "The Flappit" and the area around it is also called that. It turns out that at the side of the couple of houses there are some depressions in a field which were the holes or "pits" that tanners used to put flayed hides in, immersed in some liquid, probably urine...

    Food Processors beg to use Prison Labour

    Can't see the problem. We used to have prisoners from Thorpe Arch cycle about 8 miles each way to the farm at potato picking time in the early 60's. Ex post office single speed bikes too ! A bottle of cold tea and a jam sandwich was all they were sent out with so they ate with us. Only problem...

    Keeping geese off crops

    Exactly the same situation dealt with today near Harrogate. Started at 4.30am under a 1/4 moon and took double figure mixed bag with the shotgun. We'll be back four days out of the next seven until they get the message.

    Puzzled ?

    Is there a swear filter here that allows a thread title to say the "B" word but only allows the "R" word when answering ? Purely a technical enquiry as both words would appropriately describe the BBC.

    Getting rid of Rabbits near houses...?

    If you can,,borrow some trammel nets rather than long nets as they are much easier to operate at night. They have a 3ply construction which forms a bag as each rabbit hits the net and doesn't cause the net to collapse which means you can have a dozen rabbits in a length of net and one person can...
