    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 :scratch:

    Same applys with grass cuttings :scratch::rolleyespink: :dunno: but the grass cuttings usally get chucked into the ditches and they have compost bins :hate-shocked:

        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 :th scifD36:

              I've been with TalkTalk for ages so have naturally very low expectations of them so not disappointed! That said, I've just got their new hub and have to say it's pretty decent and haven't noticed any dropouts, throttling etc

                My moan is that I haven't got anything to moan about at the moment - but I'm working on it. :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                    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 :doh:

                          @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?
