  1. Never been but we are in the new forest area in a few weeks, might have a look if we have time. The other half is very patient but there is a limit to how many trees she can look at with me, so we might have to waste some time doing other things
  2. Funnily enough this is similar to what you told me whilst I was mid breakdown trying to plumb in my new cauliflower. Plumbing is a mix of shopping and the old boardgame mousetrap, plus a bit of extra shopping when you realise you forgot a bit

    recipes

    Different methods to cook, still peasant food, its only when arty farty cooks start pontificating about proper recipes, every house used to cook scouse based on what they had available, no meat blind scouse, lamb neck lamb scouse, beef shin beef scouse etc. Brisket from a proper butcher, dead cheap from the local place. Mutton has become a posh food I think due to attempts to market it

    Nope, at least in my opinion, its just cheap food, every area has similar, Lancashire hot pot, irish stew, pasties. Its only recently people can afford to get all picky about the proper way to cook them, no one cared as long as it was cheap and filling

    Real scouse should be the tough gnarly bits of meat that the butcher almost gives away. If your really skint just a shin bone. If your really really skint, show the pan a photo of the butchers To add mum used to use neck of lamb a lot in her scouse, still remember picking out the bits of windpipe and gristle Plus I second @Dr Bob suggestion of a scouse butty

  9. That song is the worst kind of ear worm and even though I absolutely refuse to click on the link I can feel the song worming into my brain, thanks for that, at least a day of bladdy ra ra rasputin
  10. Yes Mike Embarrassingly my job at the moment means I am unable to access any free wood, but yes previously it was a bonus
  11. Only people with half a brain or an adrenalin addiction choose arboriculture anyway, its certainly not for the cash
  12. And of course the incident was passed over to the the chap on the microphone by persons unknown and the aforementioned chap, being a person of discretion and fine manners announced the collision to all.
  13. Some have start up motors to overcome inertia.
  14. You sir are a miracle worker, I swear the snow has just stopped. All hail Dr Bob
  15. Well they was wrong, forecast said snow at 3pm and its just started snowing here at approximately 7:15am
  16. Although i agree with your point to a degree, its also possible to gain a degree in arboriculture and mount up similar costs and then spend the following years doing a physically demanding job that is often dangerous, which is hard on the body and earn an average of £20 to £25000 a year Or of course work as a local authority tree officer for a similar amount but there are less and less of these jobs now I am in no way disparaging your sons hard work and good luck to him
