Finished off mucking away the oversite today and fetched the 5t to start the footings also had a few too bigga pieces of concrete to put in Tipper lorry so a quick peck with breaker had them sized better for tipping out

I’ve got the imer 240 litre great mixer for lime mortars, has jack on it to jack it up then drop legs, little Honda engine etc

I had same problem with flow for pan mixer power pack or 1.5 ton wouldbt power it only 3 ton + etc
I did see them, but thought that they wouldn't be great for concrete mixes?

Scrappy man was telling me of a farmer who kept getting his tank drained by scholars of the traveling community, so he filled it with water, apparently got a phone call from said nefarious characters asking if he thought he was funny and that he better watch his back. Another farmer walked out his shed to see a transit driver filling up at his diesel tank and when he approached him he got told to F Off or else....what you expected to do about this? Police couldn't give a sh*t, too busy tracking down rude people on twitter and if you took the water pistol to them like Druid it would be you getting 15 years. :rolleyes:

It would appear you have to act crazier than they think they are otherwise there will be pathetic reprisals.
One local farmer drove the matbro with bale spikes into the side of the van they where sat in picked it up with them inside and threw it over the hedge.

Same bloke had a different family set up camp on his farm so he put ratchet straps round the caravans as they slept so they couldn't get out. Offloaded a few shotgun cases into them then dragged them off his property.

They didn't have the balls to do anything back.

I was told by a traveler once that for all the bravardo that they don't have a very good time of it in prison. And have a really bad time of it with cops so will back down if they think cops will be involved and just rely on there reputation to intimidate.

Interesting...some lads I know in Manchester had a new golf nicked...broad daylight from their yard. Fail..they were out in seconds and gave chase...4 of them Vs him ..boxed him in on the 60 in traffic. The lad apparently crapped it. Abandoned the golf on the HS and fled. They gave chase on foot for a bit...they got a bit of boloking from cops but nowt major...
After discussion the cops said you'll be left alone they more scared of u than us now...OBS thought it was another gang 💪 never heard anymore and no more aggro.

maaany years ago there was a spate of car jackings in StPauls area - bristol ... mate had a G/box / tranny biz down there ... home time and he was dropping some of his guys off in their tranny van when they were carved up by a Bee-emmer and forced to stop on a round about .. two guys jumped out and headed for Nick's van - pulled the doors open and were about to 'start', when the seven guys in the back appeared from round the rear, Nick (who is 6' 7" - 18st:giggle:) and his guys beat seven bells out of 'em .. did for their motor, as the driver was trying to depart and left them all in a heap ..... never heard another word, apart from a 'nod an' a wink' from the local bobby:giggle::giggle:😁

My mate got car jacked in McDonald’s once, was only in a corsa but apparently the get away car got buggered up so he was the nearest person in a car with keys, they shoved an axe straight through his window ! no messing!
Luckily he saw sense to go straight into McDonald’s over the counter to the office and call police who were straight onto them and caught up with them afew miles away!(fluke!)

popped down to a job today to lend my carpentry expertise… not that I’m any good (I hate it), just that I’d used this technique before! Quick and dirty but very cost effective. All you need is an angle finder, a level, some timber locks and a saw!
