I've got a Flymo battery operated, but the cord keeps jamming every couple of feet.

Looking to replace it, petrol powered are too heavy for me to handle.

Have you tried unwinding it rewinding looser?

Anything new with a deemed* value exceeding £15 (which can vary depending on what it is) is liable for an import duty (which again can vary depending on the goods)


*This is the value a customs official believes its worth, if checked, not what you paid, or what is on the export customs label.

Unless it says "Gift"  ;)

I shall playing golf at West Bay and Lyme Regis in 2 weeks time, as we have done for the last 19 years. We stay at Eype which is between the two, a delightful spot hidden off the main road. I can recommend Eypes Mouth Country Hotel, a 3* Hotel with 5* food. :y


I stay at Highlands End Caravan park....that's up on the cliffs between Eype and West Bay.

I usually walk down the cliffs to West Bay and Eype….but I swear the cliffs get steeper every year on the way back up  ::) ;D

Many residents there use the Smuggler's Bar at the Hotel mentioned above. :y

I tend to use the bar and restaurant on site, means I can have a couple of beers without having to drive  :y

Yes it is  :y

I usually visit there every year, you should try West Bay, just along the coast from there, lovely coastal port and
buy some locally caught fresh fish  :y

Had it MOT'd.

It failed on a blown rear number plate bulb and blown front sidelight.

The nice MOT tester changed both bulbs FOC and gave me the MOT certificate  :y

I went to Boots for my eye prescription (Specsavers couldn't do an eye test for a fortnight and I had broken my previous reading pair)
I then took the prescription to Specsavers as the glasses were much cheaper than Boots.
They agreed to make the glasses up by the next day. I choose a £25 frame. Went the next day, they were ready and were perfect  :y

Finally, the day for leaving the burger van has arrived (Thursday  :y), so the next thing is what we do with the place once we have it.

We've got pretty big plans for the house itself, which will involve converting the attached garages, meaning I need a place for tools and toys  8), so a double garage in the back/side garden is the chosen option.

Given that we will be stretched financially on the project, the idea of shelling out £17-25k (online estimates) for a brick/block garage isn't that appealing so I am thinking of building a timber one. My initial idea is to build something around 25sqm which, if correctly positioned and of a low enough height won't require building regs or planning permission. Instinctively I think there should be at least a £10k saving to be made.

I'll get some professionals to drop a concrete base and use pre-made roof trusses. For the walls I am thinking of making wall panels up using 4 x 2" with an OSB inner skin, rockwool insulation, vapour barrier and shiplap on the outside. I was wondering if anyone else had gone down this or similar route and had any experiences or pics to share?

Alternatively, as always, feel free to mock the idea  :y

Im fairly certain that as your building it out of wood, you don't need planning permission, as its classed as a temporary structure. Double check this tho, and if correct, build it as big as you like  :y

Is it doable?

Maybe later in the year?
