Druidic Dabblings and General Twaddle !!

[topkit]

I could'nt agree more i was born here in the South East my family goes right back to the 1700's here, but i would love to get out, it"s all about London and its overspills nowadays all of the outsiders moving in and they basically give nothing to the little villages and areas that they move into, They have no respect for the real locals as long as they can go to the local Gastro pub and scoff on a sunday with Tarquin and Jermimah and have a trickle of juis instead of Gravy then they are happy after there they all go off in their Range Rover Sports and Evokes and go home for a glass of vino and study the past weeks stocks and shares. We have had the odd one here as liveries they come own wearing all of the latest Horsey gear give the horse a pat and a handfull of treats then they go again it's a real joke but we take their money lol! Come monday morning they are all in a rush for the train to get to Canary Wharf, The South East is Fu***d now its gridlocked in the mornings and evenings you struggle to get round the M25, Anyone got a cheap smallholding in Devon!

After my rant i forgot about the scalpings lol! I have got a 3 ft rake that came ith a digger i had last year so i can sort our scalpings out, At some point i will get a riddle bucket to use as well, Anyone got a manual quick hitch for a 3cx i could do with one or my project 8. I am also trying to fine one for a Fermec but it's proving a tad difficult to find.

 

[V8Druid]

same here TBH, but not the London bit ..... 'swhere half of 'em come from though
pay silly money for places and price the locals out of the market
some are weekenders ...... some are retirees .... same effect though whether they're 'trippers' or 'stoppers'

some integrate, to a degree .... others aren't here long enough to try.
SWMBO was only commenting this evening about how the house prices have jumped here, in the last 6-8 months .... she likes to scan the local agents ad.s, online, to see what's about so has a fair idea on the pricing recently

Think it's pretty well a national issue .....

I forget which group it is on Facebook but there is a planning gang in the southeast that advertise very cheap plannings straight off the machine at night but you have to have it all ill post up the add next time i see it

 

[Jimoz]

Sure my mate got a load for nowt a few years ago. Just rang round firms he wasn't in a rush and suppose they dropped them when they were planning nearby. Was a horrible rutted shared access road served around 20 houses with no agreement or covenants on maintenance and not adopted.

 

[Left hooker]

No problems getting it in Cornwall guy from council said we are his biggest buyer for plannings
Some I spread yesterday it all comes crushed

I got 40T a few weeks ago for nowt - I just have to leave the yard gates open when they are in the area ...... taken me forever to get into the loop though

dare say, 'parlez-ing Francais' helps dramatically Boyo

 

[Furniss]

il faut

 

[V8Druid]

il faut

aye ..... always helps/gets you a better 'reception' if you at least try ..... understandably. ....
I can get by, usually and always a lot better after a couple of weeks practice

 

[Scoff]

I paid £7.50/t delivered for as dug Tarmac in the spring,when it turned up it was more like planings,trouble round here is a local chap has a recycling machine for Tarmac so he speaks for every bit of planings that come up.

 

[V8Druid]

spent the day yesterday ........ painting !! boxes were so dry it just had to be done ....... even though those planings were calling me

they've shrunk !!

amazing the difference the darker colour makes ... no longer look like they dominate me patch

body is wrecked this morning, after doing the roofs and finished about half six last night ..... 'slorra square metres of paint

the one's a doddle as it's flat .... t'others're corrugated so much harder work to cover .... fabricator's friend slaps it on........with me behind it .... have had LOT of practice

what I couldn't get at will get done, as and when things get moved

was gonna spread them planings this morning, but it has pissed down here ........ an' we got Pam's sister and BIL arriving any minute, so that's the afternoon buggered .... an' it's stopped raining ..... neighbours may be in for a 'drema day tomorrow ..... sposed to be dry and sunny

 

[Mark]

500 quid there Shaun .... plus the dreaded
can give you the guy's number ....
he's based in Chepstow and runs all over


no such thing as cheap planings anymore, round here ... lots of places/plants recycle them .... can be hard to even find 'em at times .... if you can get 'em straight off the planer, if they're working local, they'm 140 quid a load (20t) .... but can be pretty bloody random stuff .... 8" lumps down

That's crazy We got thousand odd ton last Christmas/start of year and only payed £2 a ton, second time around got the guy down to £1 a ton long as I took it all.

All I can say is
[a] you're lucky to have the space/need for 1000 tons (50 lorry loads )
and
even luckier to be able to take yet another 50 lorry loads and have all them planings 'on tap'

no chance around here !!

what were they planing ...... a motorway ??

did you use them or sell them on Mark ?
bloody brilliant price, but for that quantity, hardly surprising if they wanted shot of 'em in a hurry - and score 3 grand in one go

I know someone who did the deal of take it all and ended up with probably 5000 ton over a couple of weeks resurfacing m25 took probably 2 acres and had a track shovel pushing up constantly

nice money spinner ..... if you have the space and equipment to cash in on it ..... THAT is a LOT of planings ...... and make a hell of a mess of the field
