  1. Have used Englebert Strauss for years for my workwear, can't beat their stuff, great quality, quick delivery. Trousers etc expensive but last. Look good as well.
  2. This is what I use for my garden work. http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/echo-srm-520esu-petrol-brushcutter.html But that is used every day throughout the year that's why it's £800 pound plus. For my own garden I use this http://www.abbeygardensales.co.uk/brushcutters/echo-brushcutters/showitem-C1-SRM222ES.aspx Great wee strimmer and you can get hedge trimmer attachments etc for it.
  3. Yes agree with Sussex. I'm a gardener and use Echo strimmers, bombproof. Stihl have really gone downhill in the last few years.
  4. Sorry to hear that I remember the pics when you first got him, I had to have my springer pts last week she was 13, some dogs you just bond with and are sorely missed.
  5. The first dog I had when I was 14 was a first cross springer whippet, 38 years ago! Looking back it was shite, it opened up, couldn't catch in the open and was an ugly f**ker. It was a good ferreting dog though and an excellent ratter and busher, I probably though had more fun with her than any dog I have owned since, we would walk miles for hours and it was a success if we caught a rabbit think it was a case of the blind leading the blind
  6. Tried to seal exact same leak on my vitara failed after a couple of weeks. New sump wasn't that bad (£)although you have to drop the cross member to get it on. Common problem apparently.
  7. Yes your right you see the estate car brigade start up every spring but they are rarely there the end of winter:)
  8. Handles ok, as I said it seems normal except for the colour, I'll update on the forum how it works etc, needless to say it won't be staying if it doesn't work.
  9. Yes tiercel it was my first thought but is definitely not deaf, plays ok etc seems a normal kit except for the colouring. Waardenburgs can cause deafness but not in every case. Humans get Waardenburgs also but not accompanied by the deafness. The main clue with that kit is the four white paws. TC Interesting I didn't know that, what's the outlook for the kit then?

  11. This year I bred polecat to polecat and all were like this hob I kept back. Except this wee Jill. I've kept ferrets for over 35 years and never seen this. Silver body, white head. Just hopes it works as good as the parents.
  12. Illegal unless you have appropriate spraying tickets. Sighthound i think you only need the tickets if you have employees?? am not 100% on this but its what ive been told by a fella.I dont bother with weeds at all so am not assed lolNo, you definitely need it if your spraying for reward, Pa1 and Pa6. Some people acquired grandfather rights but this was stopped this year. Your supposed to produce your ticket when buying chemicals.
  13. .........or a good sideline in compost sales ! Still need it to carry the waste though:(
  14. Illegal unless you have appropriate spraying tickets.
  15. And remember to pick up and dump green waste you need a waste carriers licence.
  16. I'm a gardener. I target high end gardens and work throughout the year. This site has lots of info http://landscapejuicenetwork.com/forum/topics Don't sell yourself too cheap its easy to be busy when you are charging £10 per hour but when you take off your tax, NI and insurances plus depreciation you'll be on less than the minimum wage I try and avoid charging by the hour and charge per job but you should be looking to be pulling in £20 to £30 per hour which is easily achievable. Don't forget your spraying certificates etc and don't buy cheap machinary it will cost you more in the end.
  17. Try Giffgaff sim only. https://giffgaff.com/orders/cheap-sim-only?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=sim%20only%20deals%20from%205&utm_campaign=ps-G_PC_Brand%20Pure&KWID=43700001107954441&gclid=CKGd2NOw-8QCFeRPtAodWk0Atg&gclsrc=ds&dclid=CMKO5tOw-8QCFQPYfAodcw0A5Q
  18. My young birds are out today for the first time and the breeders are sitting their second clutch. Was hit hard last year by peregrines and spars, rollers are BOP magnets Shame your in Wales Brookie I have several spare pairs.
  19. Good old days when I could get green tripe. Used to hang it outside on a butchers hook and slice at feeding time, dogs seemed to prefer it when it got smellier:) Was a bugger when the bag split in the car though.
  20. Could someone tell me if this is suitable/same? http://www.amazon.co.uk/KINFIRE-Rechargeable-Flashlight-2x18650-Charger/dp/B00C3CE8RY Found this topic too late to order.
  21. Just be careful. One of our biggest shoots has given us orders to shoot any dogs on sight, apart from two labs that walk on there.. he's always got livestock around, anything from sheep to cattle, plus it's a deer shoot. And before you go off on one about what you would do if your dog dropped dead bear in mind (A ) we're on night vision so you wouldn't even know we were there, and (B ) we carry firearms, skinning knives, machetes and 6 foot shooting sticks. And there's always more than one ! Just be careful and check all round for empty parked vehicles And they give pricks like
  22. A brick wall is fine but not for the sleeping quarters my court its 6x4 and is also built onto a wall. I've screwed the sleeping quarters onto the wall with a ladder so they can climb up so it keeps it off the floor. As has been said fill it with pipes and other toys and you'll have happy healthy ferrets. I like courts cos it gets the ferrets used to seeing you and the dogs at ground level
  23. Best kept in same sex pairs. The bigger the hutch the better, a ferret court even better. Get your whippet used to the ferrets and vice versa as otherwise it's pretty pointless having a dog. Enjoy, nothing beats ferreting with a dog.
  24. Really enjoyed that especially the mink following the scent. Thanks.
