I live in Leicester and i dont hold it against people coming over here for economic betterment. I would do it myself but there are no countries where I could make a better living than here in goood old blighty ( this should make you moaners feel lucky :)) If you want to blame anyone, blame...

i think that the shedloads of money he gets has eased the torture of having to produce AND watch all this utter drivel. i saw that kid who won yesterday and i was hoping that a tragic plumbing disaster would see his drowning i was disappointed :(

btw jase your rail spike would be no good cus its designed not to go the whole way through a sleeper, for obvious reasons :)

1) borrow the lawn mower back from the lucky recipients 2) buy the trimmer/strimmer cus they really aint that scary, specially a small electric one. 3) cut grass with scissors whilst child or friend(a) blows it into a bag carried by child or friend(b) 4) dig it all up and have gravel on...

To even it out, you can fill those dips with a mix of sand and topsoil. The grass will grow through that.

I also used to have privet hedges and finally decided to get rid cus they were quite hard work. As you don't have this option, have you considered cutting into the hedge quite hard on your side, to tidy it up somewhat... bearing in mind that privet will tolerate such cutting and grow back...

i used a piece of waste water pipe in concrete what is the outside diameter of your pole? (heh heh) A piece of plastic pipe that your sink drains through will probably accomodate it. Just sink the plastic (above a layer of gravel) in some concrete and it wont even fill up with water.

An American site with a pic on the right of their definition of 'crowning' : http://www.bestdecksite.com/introPlanPg1.htm A glossary of traditional English terms with the crown of an arch illustrated at no.83: http://doit101.com/boycarpentry/chapter7.html
