The only way I managed to limit it, was to set the junk mail filter to the strongest setting, and now happily only get a few a week which I 'block' instead of merely deleting - I guess it may also depend on the email system you use?

Alright... I know it was my first time with a Paslode (I have the bruises on my forearm to prove it) but I didn't miss that many times! :lol: Split a couple of ends but... :oops: sorry again Steve!

Thanks Kev... second para idea already in hand!!! 1st para... you know where the house is don't you?! ref: mattresses ;-)

Hi mb and thanks anyway - no need to feel paranoid! Unfortunately it's all very green and lots of it, so bonfire not an option for several reasons! I've worked out that the cheapest option will be to hack it all down one day, then hire a car to deposit it at the tip another...

Left a few messages for man/van type of thing. Not to worry - I'll resolve it, usually do. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Interesting.... thank you! Learn something new every day. Have just been investigating the local tip regulations and I might come a cropper there unless I'm dumping from a normal car... need permits with vans/trailers.... :(

I used a pressurised 5 litre pump thing (like for garden sprays etc). I think there's something in the lime too, if I remember my tutor correctly, which is objectionable to a lot of beasties - wasn't lime-wash used to 'disinfect' stables and outbuildings etc?

Is nuts isn't it?! This was my recent experience (as emailed to a friend) when wanting to be referred for something told gp I wanted to be referred he contacted relevant wherever I received an NHS letter stating I had the right to a choice of when, (?!!) but had to phone a number I phone the...
