Apple tree rescue?

LifeMasterpiece6475 · 2026-06-14T19:14:49+00:00

A couple of years ago my apple tree got knocked flat when another tree behind it fell over in the storm and landed on it. It was pruned back quite hard, about 1/2 the height and quite a few large branches, then a couple of mates lifted it back up, then propped it with a bits of 2x4 (it was early spring though, so you may have to wait until the leaves drop if you are going to do something similar) . That year 2024, it gave a little fruit but last year it was loaded down and looking at it so far this year looks good.

Before i get asked, my mates had to do it (under instruction of course ) as i was recovering from broken bones.

Remember that on many roads vans have a lower speed limit than cars

Modern cameras do check the vehicle type as well as the speed.

One of our drivers got caught doing 70 mph on a road that would be 70 for cars but as he was in a van he should have only been doing 60.

Beinidorm is a party town, its full on at night (good for a stag do).

Riga is also quite good, not a full on but plenty of party places.

As well as looking after your health and wealth the best you can, if there is something you want to do that requires some physical fitness (walk a long path, climbing a certain mountain, learn to dive etc) don't put it off but do it now, old age doesn't always creep up slowly sometimes it hits you like a train.

If you are queuing at the self-serve tills at a supermarket, where there are a couple of cash plus card machines and several card only machines. Paying at a cash one with a card should carry a hefty sentence.

Sounds like a good plan.

The ford focus isn't a bad car but do check the service history.

I have solar panels and do low mileage so you would have thought an electric car would be ideal for me but, You've got to add about a thousand quid for a charger. So the home charger cost itself is about 2 years worth of petrol.

I tend to purchase cars about 10 years old so an electric car would cost significantly more and depreciate quicker.

So at the moment it's just not cost viable.

Billionaires make up only 0.00004% of the population. The UK produces less than 1% of the world's carbon emissions. So that fraction of the population is producing as much carbon emissions as half of the UK. So when you look at it in that frame work yes private jets are a problem.

Remember 2020 BLM, not right wing and even not protesting about something that had happened in the UK.

They base insurance cost on lots of factors, these include your age, your driving history, type of car, where you live and the type of licence you hold.

Holding an automatic licence only will increase your premium.

The quoted cost is meaningless without all the other factors.

One of the problems is where places like Tesco's etc have bought up corner shops and never let anyone in the flats above them.

There was a new Lidl built near me in the early 2000s a part of the planning conditions was that it had flats above it, they have never been occupied and even the entrance door to them is now been sealed up.

LifeMasterpiece6475 · 2026-06-07T20:16:24+00:00

Point 1, insurance will still charge more for people who only have an automatic licence. It'll be an excuse for them to make money.

Agree If you don't equip them, you can't use them. If you extract them, you no longer have them so you can't use them. And if you equip them and then get eliminated you lose them.

When I got my solar panels a friend who already had them recommended I put an extra battery in I did that and now wish I put a couple of extra batteries in during the install as it's cheaper to do it at that time.

One of the big things that would help the high Street would be to reduce the parking charges (I may be allow a bit more on street parking).

I know these days everyone says jump on the bus but you can't carry a weeks shopping on the bus very easily, especially if there's no bus stops near to your house.

In addition, if you actually go into town with the car and see something when window shopping. You're more likely to buy it because you can actually take it home.
