Openreach and their sub contractors!
4 weeks without a landline in an area with poor mobile signal because they damaged the phone lines while installing the new fibre network.

Hydraulic lines that pressurise themselves when not in use.
I had that yesterday when putting a Votex flail topper on. How can both pipes on the sideshift ram be pressurised when it was free from the floor? At least I remembered to put a rag over the end when I smacked it with a hammer and not get splattered with oil

Warm weather makes the oil expand, park it in a shady placeI had that yesterday when putting a Votex flail topper on.

Only a few places to park kit plus the nettles don't grow that fast under the hedge. Note to self....... Put the kit on in the middle of the night, fine if you know what you're doing the next day

Slacken a hose connection to release pressure, much easier as a rule than splattering oil everywhere and damaging the end of the coupling.Only a few places to park kit plus the nettles don't grow that fast under the hedge.

I know that's the proper way but hammer and rag was to hand

I’m hand stacking bales under a hot asbestos roof yet again today. 600 done this morning, 280 to go. TBH I’m really fed up of it. Walking across a mattress in stifling heat trying to get a mishapen half hundredweight building block to fit without leaving a gap. Sweat pouring off me. It’s madness really. Next year we’ll have it fully mechanised. But we always say that.
. I can't even wear a tee shirt, because my arms rash.

Sound advice. The problem with folks smacking them with a hammer is the tips get shortened then they don’t open properly when connected to the tractor then more mayhem results like slow acting services or things will open but not close etc.

People on TV who can't speak proper English - eg Cinch and 'Mo-ah'.
No you t**t, the word you need is car. Makes me yell out at the TV everytime I hear it - Grumpy old man....
