Not quite the same but the pedal powered shearing tournament is one of the highlights of many mid-Wales summer village shows.

Toddy’s “Falkirk pot” is what South Africans call a potjie (pronounced poykey), sometimes jokingly called the “Mandela microwave”. Potjies are still very much a mainstay of outdoor cooking both in rural villages and amongst white South Africans where stews and sauces slow cooked in potjies...

In a past life, I was involved in a large multi-national company’s preparations for a potential bird flu pandemic which involved acquiring, stockpiling and distributing vaccines. This was not done for altruistic reasons, it was simply an attempt to provide investor confidence by demonstrating...

A very thoughtful offer! :) It might worth including the diameter of the cable - iirc different capacity tirfors etc take specific diameter cables. I’d have it as a spare for my tirfor if you were closer but if no takers here try your local Freecycle group. Cheers.

I’m not saying you are wrong but badgers are scavengers and I’m guessing that the left overs from a hedgehog caught, killed and eaten by a badger would look remarkably similar to those of a hedgehog killed by a car, starvation or natural causes and then eaten.

I had just started typing something similar but got called away to eat. Being cynical, I do wonder whether the idea that badgers are causing significant harm to hedgehog numbers is down to some farming lobbyists seeking to counter increased resistance to culling by trying to vilify badgers by...

Sadly, its a bit like Marmota Monax Day. Every time someone starts a thread on here about efforts in the UK to re-establish the red squirrel or other native species, the discussion almost immediately gets dragged to the other side of the Atlantic. Last time, to give those of us with a genuine...

Hmmm - within a handful of posts, a thread on a UK forum about measures being taken to reduce the negative impact of an alien invasive species on UK native wildlife turns into a discussion by non-native contributors about the wildlife where they live. Could almost be a metaphor! ;) Anyway a...

Not sure what sort of red squirrels you have in Canada, but the species native to the UK and northern Europe and Asia is the Eurasion Red Squirrel Sciurus Vulgaris. As you can see from the distribution map below, although there is a possibility that on a clear day with a pair of decent binos...

Depends where you are wearing them, what you are doing in them, what time of year and weather conditions and most importantly whether you are drooling over the side-bar of shame on an online news website while you are wearing them. ;)

If it is Timpsons you are referring to then I think you are being a bit cynical. https://www.timpson.co.uk/services/watch-repairs They have a pretty good reputation for community engagement and make a point of offering employment to rehabilitated offenders and offer free dry cleaning to...

I’m not familiar with the pre-SA Karrimor packs but FWIW, this vid clearly shows an early 1980s non-adjustable Jaguar.

We are seeing our resident hares most days at the moment. Also captured a nice vid of this one and his/her mate getting in some pre-March boxing practice.

Not exactly a textbook rescue and could have gone horribly wrong but a great result! :) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-51571306

I think that these cars and vans were washed out of a carpark rather than failed attempts to ford the Wye but this is about ten miles from me but it gives a clear idea of what happens to vehicles in swiftly moving water...

Pile liner on mine is separate from the pertex shell on my Buffalo top. No experience of the RAB Vapour Rise top but if you are wearing clothes under a Buffalo top, you are defeating the whole point of the system. http://www.buffalosystems.co.uk/products/special-6-shirt/ Should really be...

I assume you were referring to Grumpy64 rather than Nice65 (what a difference a year makes! ;) ). Not meaning to go full Cap’n Quint but currently it’s a bit difficult to square people getting excited about their holiday in an area where homes, schools, livelihoods are getting trashed...
