    How would you rate the UK's handling of this pandemic?

    When Thatcher got in the country was bankrupt and if you're house is going to be repossessed then you sell what's in it to save it the union's where rampant and used to getting everything they wanted so while I don't agree with all her decisions she dragged the country out of a pretty dark hole...

    Or decades of waist! It's funny how it's mostly the front line staff that have been reduced not the overbloated middle manager and non medical section! Or why it takes 4 people to assess that I need a gromit 1 doctor,1nurse,1 paper filler and someone to take me from the waiting room to an...

    Kiln Dried birch logs?

    I'd check how dry they are first! I've heard of some some kiln dried stuff that was wetter than air dried!(possibly imported) but a friend got thrown out of a shop for going through the firewood with a moisture meter so would suggest they knew

    How would you rate the UK's handling of this pandemic?

    The problem with keep throwing money at the NHS is that there is no responsibility to use the money well and you end up with a system that just keeps asking for more! When Tony Blair's government pledged to double the staff lvls of the NHS they never checked if it was practical and on finding...

    How would you rate the UK's handling of this pandemic?

    Technically the flu virus is considerably worse than covid it's just it's been here for so long that the human race has become adjusted to it when European explorer's took the flu with them they wiped out hole villages of native populations

    Invasion of US Capitol building

    We obviously have very different interpretations of free! In my eyes if you pay for something it's not free even if you collect it at a different time to paying for it

    Dewalt Radial Arm Saw

    My advice if it hasn't got a break fitted get one it removed the temptation to leave small bits to accumulate (it then starts fireing them around the workshop through windows ect) or even worse sweep them out the way without or before it stops(risk of no fingers)

    Groundworker looking for advice!

    Quality ceder logs cost sawmills a premium and the stringy bark means that high speed mills don't really like it! Larch or Douglas would be a good option but again high quality logs of these types can again be sold for a premium! Your best bet would be finding a small mill that uses fencing...

    Unexpected winter visitor

    Sorry the "apparently there's no correlation" was supposed to be sarcastic as many wildlife groups continue to deny the fact as it paints the badger in a different light than the poor fluffy harmless animal they want people to believe

    Kity Bestcombi 2000

    The E stops are usually a normally closed switch so when you activate it you break the loop! A common cheat way to check the switch is to connect the 2 wires in one side so there permanently connected them if the problem goes away the switch is faulty and needs replacing! Obviously this is a...

    Kity Bestcombi 2000

    I believe that that switch can be remotely operated (but your manually overriding it)so you probably want to look at the motor selector devise and E stop buttons and the wiring from each but without working on the machine it's hard to be more helpful however your getting power to the motor so...
