JohnGalway 1,043 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Know a lad that was poaching trees last Winter Fine, his risk, whatever. But, the funniest bit was he went one night, cut down a rather large tree. Went back another night and chopped it up. Third visit was for collection and it was gone Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SportingShooter 0 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Don't believe a word of it with the councils. They have plenty of money compared to other public services. They are just utterly useless at managing where it's spent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mooch. 177 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) The council have never gritted my road anyway but at work we bought two bulk bags of road salt in readiness........... way back in April! In fact, just thought of a little money making scheme! Buy road salt in bulk then divide it up into smaller bags and sell it at the end of the road once all the usual outlets have run out (which they always do)! Edited September 21, 2011 by Mooch.

Malt 379 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 bet n power & british gas are rubbing their hands greedy feckers I'll be burning wood and coal, they can rub all they like I'll be burning them too! and your arse --- get some ironing practice in ..have you got any further on with that fire surround ? No.. I have got the aggregate, sand & cement to lay the hearth & dug my cement mixer out from the hedge behind my mates shed where it's been living for 2 years but haven't had the time to do it yet. I'm here at home with my youngest while my wife is in work & he's at the age where he's into everything and you can't turn your back on him for a second. The other kids have got various after school activities - karate & dancing and by the time the little ones in bed and everyone's back home it's too late to fire up the mixer. Tomorrow night is looking likely, there's nothing on.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
