    Schoffels

    That sounds like The Country Store to me. Although I popped to a local ploughing match a week ago and I reckon there was 30 Schoffel's to the Acre.:oops: Was a hot day, so they must have been roasting..:ROFLMAO:

    polishing paintwork on tractor

    If a bit flat. T cut a panel at a time, then to get T cut off. Just use a good polish and buff off to a shine. Otherwise getting T cut off on its own is a pig of a job. For T cut I generally use one of those cheap microfibres mops that are available from Halfords, Ebay etc.

    Cyclist, another close call today

    Nearly had two over the bonnet of the car the other day. Was approaching a T junction onto a B road. Slowed down to turn left. Then two cyclists literally cut the junction right off on my side of road. I anchored up and they just swerved me and carried on.

    New chainsaw for £80

    Got a couple of huskies. The 51 must be 20 years old and is still going well. The 365s is probably half the age and is an amazing saw. Got a smaller Stihl for small stuff, but saw is from late 80s and still seems ok. I was only looking at another saw yesterday to keep in the boot for cutting odd...

    Floating cows? floating land?

    I saw this on TV this morning and instantly thought the amount of crap in the water surrounding the floating barge. Half the hay & straw gets blown into the water.

    Tractor battery going flat overnight

    Have you disconnected all wires from the alternator to see if the draw goes. Although be careful not to short the main charge or battery wires whilst doing this.

    Jd parts from Poland ?

    Not tractor parts, but have had a few things from Poland over the past couple of years. Most expensive part was for around £220 only a couple of months ago and no taxes to pay. Thought Poland was part of EU, so shouldn't be taxes to pay.

    Wreckers!!

    Newport Essex. Usually if the M11 between J8 and J9 is closed due to an accident, then everything diverts onto the B1383. This is more or less a weekly occurrence.

    Wreckers!!

    Use cherry pickers and flat lifting platforms quite a lot. Nearly all flat platforms control boxes lift off and are on an umbilical cord. So can be controlled from the ground. Cherry pickers control boxes are fixed with a deadman foot control on the basket floor. Although there are usually some...

    Next PM 7 day poll.

    Why the bloody 2nd or 3rd or 4th vote. Or is this so that every MP can milk more out the system with expenses or what they are entitled too for just turning up on the day to vote again.:mad:

    Can you get out of doing jury service?

    A mate got called a couple of months ago. He was shitting it, so went to the doctors and got a letter. Saying the stress of being called up is making him ill. Got a letter a few weeks later, not required anymore.

    Wreckers!!

    Yes I expect this certainly peed many drivers off this morning. To see a lorry stuck whilst turning around makes a change from seeing them wedged under the bridge.:ROFLMAO: Luckily I didn't need to go in that direction today:joyful:

    Wreckers!!

    Local to me this morning. Decided on a u turn to avoid a low bridge for which I know this would have gone under with sufficient clearance. Plus the M11 was closed and all the traffic diverts onto this road. What was he thinking after all the rain we had this past week.:eek:
