From what I can see this is page 29 & 37 and, in order to understand what the police are saying I'd need to see the whole document. If anyone could find it it would be very useful to read. My current guess is you would not get to page 29 if the knife does not meet the 2016 ban, which it...

Here are the pages hopefully. I can't find the original document they come from.

@spokenword I appreciate your feedback and perseverance. I agree with the others in that I can't see how the knife falls into the 2016 ban. Do you have a scan of the doc (when you have time), I'm tempted to send it to BASC for their view as if there is some form of ban or interpretation of the...

Well I saw a council snow plough & gritter lorry out today, probably practicing for the winter. So I predict a mild one with some heavy snow in late spring after the gritters have been stood down.

Don't treat the cut ends, it'll do more harm than good. Although they can be cut at any time of year I would leave it to late winter to leave a bit of habitat for wildlife. We've still got caterpillars feeding on our willows which provide food for birds etc. Any decent bits cut off can be...

Same as some of us did in the past? I've lodged with friends and work colleagues, lived in bedsits and very poor rental accommodation. That meant I wasn't in too much debt and I could save a deposit for a house.

I think in most cases you wouldn't make any money in improving the house before selling it. Declutter, clean, clear the garden yes but doing anything like improving the kitchen or major repairs I doubt it. A good agent should be able to advise.

I'd also add I know quite a few people who've had trouble with their tenants, so do you have the time for that. It is also very likely more legislation will make a landlords job harder.

I noticed the Met Office now has a lightning strike map on its site. I don't recall seeing it in the past so assume it's fairly new. Anyway, worth a look if it's thundery in your area. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/maps-and-charts/lightning-map

It probably isn't worth the effort. But, from my limited understanding the 2019 amendment would only apply if you knife had violent words on it. The law says serrated edge and images or words. (i)a cutting edge; (ii)a serrated edge; and (iii)images or words (whether on the blade or handle) that...

Hornets are still bringing meat into their nests around here, one was busy trying to catch bees from around my legs when I was working on a hive. I had assumed they were interested in the over ripe figs but after watching them noticed they were after the flies and butterflies which they latch...

They're back! Although this one has been around for most of the year. About 4" top leg to back leg.

Well our garage hornet nest sadly petered out and is no more. There must be other nearby nests as there's loads of hornets about hunting the flies and butterflies on our fig tree. We also had a strange occurrence with one of our bee hives today. A loose fitting entrance block was pushed out and...

The logs are just leaning against a wall at the moment. I've not done anything special with them but they should be kept damp and out of full sun. I put a photo of a fruiting log in your old thread and that log is currently in the kitchen and the shrooms are being cut off as required...

It's been rather a short growing season here, late cold spring and it seems an early autumn. Anyway still managed to get some decent crops. Tonights dinner below - our last aubergine along with tomatoes, shiitake, shallots, garlic, chilli, carrot, leek, french and runner beans. All ended up in a...

Time for a little update. Logs doweled in spring 2020 still producing shiitake...I

I think mackerel aren't that fussy, they tend to mostly snap at something on the initial drop from a cast I gather. My problem is my local beaches are very shallow so I have to cast a long way to get to them. I tend to use a metal lure that matches what they are likely to feed on locally, so...

I wouldn't have thought it would be a problem if you have a payment method set up, c/card paypal etc. I don't as I don't like companies holding my details unnecessarily. The message comes up when you try and bid, before you actually place a bid. So you can see if anyone has the 'must pay...

And Jostaberry, both worth growing but prone to sawfly stipping their leaves.

Yes, they like acidic soil. We grow some in pots of ericaceous compost and they've done ok so long as they are watered from time to time with rain water or acidic water. This year I've fed them well and had about 10 pints of blueberries from 4 plants which are different cultivars so fruit over...
