At least Joe was a decent man when he started (although I agree it was time for him to go) - Trump was unfit to govern from a long time before he ever entered any presidential race. I find it hard to understand why a country that claimed independence to escape the "tyranny of kings" would now...

Maybe the extra 'R' stands for "reprobate"?

You're juvenile! :giggle:

If people who own second homes rent them out, they get an income from those homes, instead of paying out for them on an ongoing basis. If they want to go on holiday, they can use that income to pay for a hotel, still employing people in those tourist areas, but with the benefit of those...

Almost all "second homes" would make very acceptable first homes for people who need somewhere to live - I would suggest that people who own more than one property should be compelled to rent those properties long-term. It would free up many, many thousands of homes. Of course, if they don't...

Doesn't work for me.

We don't all use facebook...

Oh come on Triton - you can't ask a man to admit to something like that... :sneaky:

Bet you can remember the brand...

Ah! FFS indeed!

...And for those of us who don't use facebook so can't see what you're referencing?

Glad I'm not the only one.

As I say, I'm not sure what the right name is, but I know it when I see it. It's about 2" wide, maybe 1mm thick, perforated with holes to drive nails through and galvanised. Comes in rolls of maybe 25 metres if I remember right and is available from any builders' merchant. Also available in...

Just be aware that any drips from bits that may have lost their galvanised coating will contain a certain amount of dissolved iron, and those drips will react with some woods, Oak, Chestnut for example and leave almost black marks that you won't get out. For the compression strap, I used...

If it's an old field, look at an old map, which should be accurate. The trouble with mapping from satellite pictures is that they fail to take gradients into account, so can often give an acreage well below the true figure - just ask any farmer on hilly ground about DEFRA working out subsidy...

It's not.

"I am the slime from your video, oozing along on your living room floor..." Brilliant lyricist.

A lady of course, not a fella - the boys won't be around until much later in the year. Beautiful things, we get loads of them round here, much more pleasant to have around than Common Wasps and do loads of good in the garden - I've watched them cut up big slugs and take them back to the nest...

Thanks for all the replies - we bit the bullet and bought some from slip doctors - expensive but hopefully worth it. I've used wire mesh in the past but it rusts eventually and you have to replace it, along with all the little staples that it's held down with. Wish I'd thought to look at...

As the title suggests, I'm looking for anti slip decking stain. All I've been able to find is the Cuprinol range, which has a range of colours, all of them sh1tty, in my opinion at least. Anyone know of an alternative? Clear would be good and if it had sand instead of "Microbeads", even better...
