LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME 2018

Lots of people clearing out their gardens of rubbish plants/weeds and then chucking them on the road side verge (countryside) on the other side of the road from of their property

Same applys with grass cuttings but the grass cuttings usally get chucked into the ditches and they have compost bins

 

Well that's a new one on me Jiffy...it won't be long before that's on the news regarding fly tipping

 

I`m a bit miffed that just after the window cleaner called in to shine up my windows, the heavens opened and dumped half of the sahara desert all over them - and the car, but not enough water to help the garden

 

Not to worry mate ….just call him back ….this as happened to me many a time glorious sunshine and out the blue rain

 

Nowt new, it happerns all the time, even some farmers do it around here, farmer buys another combine, it wouldn't fit through the gate!!!!!!!! so he ribed out the gate post and part of the hedge and just pushed it on to the verge and left it there, but if you fiy tiped onto he's land he'd not be happey one rule for one and another rules for every one else

 

Totally wrong mate ...you know the old saying "Never preach to others what you can't do yourself"

 

As do many of the other major diy suppliers - a nice little money maker.

We're lucky around this neck of the woods - a local supplier offers FREE delivery - no matter what you buy and provided you are not too far away - this is how I obtained the timber for our front garden picket fence.

I suppose the logic goes - as they are driving past anyway - it makes sense to load up a couple of smaller orders and drop them off en-route.

I also like that they recycle the wood dumped in their skips - you can buy a bulk bag of logs for your wood burner for 40 quid delivered.

 

Bloke next door has sprayed his fence panels with red cedar coloured spray - ronseal - looks nice - only problem is - he's also coated the side of my conservatory with a good splattering

 

Hi clanless...a neighbour 4 doors down did that and it went up the neighbours conservatory on the side and he had to clean it all off and he wasn't very pleased

 

@clanless my hubby was on about doing ours like that and my answer was no straight away for the same reason plus there's the concrete posts and it only takes a slight bit of wind and it's all over the show...so ours was brushed on

 

Just been to 'Go Outdoors' to buy some of their hiking trousers - they won't be used for hiking - they're a good price and are comfortable.

The best fit was designated as 'short' length - I'm over 6ft tall - the 'long' length must be for people who are 7ft+ tall - what's going on?
