I had the same email regarding late delivery a couple of days ago. At least M L do let us know its going to be late. They have apologised which is more than most companies do. Mike

I agree with many of the posts, THIS IS UNLIKELY TO BE A DOG ATTACK. We had a dog problems some years ago with several savaged by a dog. A dog will at least pull wool from the sheep and will usually go for the throat or fore legs. We knew who owned the dog, but could not prove it was the...

What size are the "beads"? The picture reminds me of grass snake eggs I had in my compost heap some years ago, as far as I can remember they were slightly oval. Mike

I bought a couple of BBs and supers in pine to see what they were like. I assembled them today with no problems, (pinned and glued). As mentioned by Little John the bottom bars are incorrect. Easily remedied by running a router along to remove the unnecessary part of the bottom bar as...

Many of us on this forum will take exception to the above remark. I am in my late 60s and have worked all my life and have never received subs from the state until I received my OAP. I am still working admittedly only part time. I pay tax on my pension and on the work I do. People in...

Just had an email from M&L saying my order will be delivered tomorrow. At least they are keeping us informed of the situation. Far better than some other companies. Mike

It is likely the rape area is greater this year for several reasons. The cereal prices are extremely poor with wheat only about £100/ tonne barley about £5 less. British Sugar have reduced the price for the 2016 crop to £19/tonne which has meant many farmers no longer growing this crop...

Had an email from Mann Lake yesterday to say my order will be delayed until approx. 11 March. This has surprised me as I placed my order at 10.26 on 05/02/16. At least they are honouring the order. I will have to look to see if they have taken payment. Has anyone else had the same problem...

We were all prepared for the storm 6.5 KVA gennie ready, plenty of firewood, Rayburn working OK and torches all with batteries, but we didn't need them. I bought the generator some years ago, for power while we lived in a caravan during the barn conversion. I soon learnt that KVA is not the...

Over the last 2 years I have bought national boxes from Thorne, Maisy, Mann Lake, and from Ebay. In my opinion M&L are by far the best and the cheapest, followed by Ts 2nds then Maisy. The Chinese ones off the net were very poor with bowed parts which had to be screwed together to get a good...

Hope all goes well. I am in the N&N at Norwich on Monday, for a check up, if not OK I'm due for the same op. Mike

The Saga continues. With my voucher I ordered 2 Vax liquids to replace the one damaged when the machine was delivered. No liquid no communications and when I contact Groupon I am told it is being processed, What a company, though I am enjoying the web chat, especially when I mention the 2015...

["if you want to wrestle with a p!ssed off giant stoat that's been trapped in a cage for hours then try to give it some medicine - you carry on, but don't invite me to the party!" Its dead:facts:

Our house is a converted barn, every morning when I went out to feed the animals there would be a small hole next to the barn wall. I filled it in every morning and the next day it would be open again. This went on for about a week. The hole was about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, I knew it wasn't a...

Good job Jonnybeegood is no longer on the forum with the above photo. I keep MK4 Fen traps in tunnels near my chickens all the time and check them when I feed the hens. I did this originally to get stoats which killed most of my bantams. Since then I have regularly caught the odd rat. Far...

I got fed up with the "Download Windows 10 its Free" popping up on my laptop every time I came to use it. The machine was getting very slow and freezing periodically, it became so bad that I upgraded from W7 to 10 in desperation, it has improved the laptop immensely. However, I now have to...

I was going to use Cuprinol Duckback, I contacted the help desk and was told the new version of this treatment is not suitable for spray painting. I have a stack of supers, brood boxes etc which is over 8feet tall and would be easy to spray paint. Any suggestions of suitable paint, Cuprinol...

I shall, but have had to settle this year with one from Sainsburys, will not be the same as a real butchers haggis from Scotland. Mike
