Try a date nearer to 60 years! And remember the driving license is in reverse (not the driver)

Yes the old rotavator word! My date of birth is a palindrome reads the same on a driving license, so what could it be! The initials and my sir name, spell out the area of the city where I was born in.So is that a fluke or was there something else going on.
So who am I?

Yes a strange year, been working flat out, straight through the first lock down and will be doing the same now. I work on what they call remote sites and the only life I see is bloody rabbits, though last week was rather interesting as a Stag took a fancy to my topper finisher, perhaps he thought the handles were antlers!
I’m afraid Covid is very serious stuff and not to be taken lightly, Charlie is absolutely right over the younger generation. There is only one word for it, SELFISH.

On the collecting front we have done rather well, have managed to expand our range of early Tennis Court line markers by 11 ranging in years from the early 1900’s to the 1930’s,Along with a handful of Edwardian lawn sprinklers, I’m sure this was coursed by folks clearing out their garden sheds.
Though just as the country was opening up from the first lock-down, I had to venture out to Whitchurch to collect a complete tennis court fixture from the 1920’s to include, posts nets, the original wicker basket and all the outside perimeter posts and outside nets, a right van load I can tell you. On the way back we stayed in Ironbridge which is well worth visiting.

Yes I have missed the Shows particularly Malvern back in September, but I’m sure we will eventually get there one pace at a time!

Hi Ian
Just picked your thread up.Please think about what I’m going to say,You said the improved was adding a blade to the cutting cylinder,you are right there but not because of grasses here in the UK,When your machine is sat out in Tasmania!.They altered the blades for New Zealand,their grasses have the same characteristics as ours. Coldwell sent many,many machines to your part of the world,far more than here.The reason is there was a tie with Shanks of Arbroath Scotland.
If you need anymore help with the Coldwell,you may email me direct,through this site

And finally where will it end indeed!
Top this one!
I’m sure a lot have seen a certain Progress Tractor for sale recently,which I would say is definitely on the rare stakes.Some could say how do you price such a thing,others would say the Market as a habit of responding.
Tonight Mr Wallingfield has gone looking for tie straps,its just rather fortunet he holds import and Export licenses.The tractor is going to Malawi to be used by a Charity on their Farms!

[hdtrust]

Obviously not purchasing from the right place!
Toro agents,the best one is Direct Mowers,A Earnest Doe Company
I happen to run Toro’s in my business,they knock the spots off any Honda or Mountfield, and are far better priced than Hayter and yet Hayter is owned by them!

One question why are you using at best a 1940’s engine for a 1907 Motorcycle? Surely you should be using a Bradbury engine,
I happen to know where there are 2 such engines,which may become available,ideal for your project.
This part is where I get my hands slapped Charlie! He’s a fully paid up member of the club!

Just to correct you on the history of Pattison as a company in 1901 they started out making shooting Galleries for fairs before making Horse boots for horses working on lawns,their first factory was Streatham SW16 London, and their first patent was in 1916 for the Pulviette sprinkler,taken later up by Lloyd’s of Letchworth.

No you are not,asking price £10,000! You can always ask,he’s got another rare tractor on for £5,000 also a LDV motorcycle,rare for £20,000 I wonder if it comes with rust like the LDV vans,mine did not have rust,that had gone years ago,it just had a hole between my feet that you could see the road from, better than through the windscreen!

Last night I was looking at some Colwoods for sale,there is one in Northern Ireland,rusty as hell and no tools for £80,buyer collects,does the idiot know there is a lock down and the item is not on the essential list.To ship that out of Ireland to the main land anywhere will cost £188 inc Vat on a pallet.There is another in Hull for £85,shipping again would be £166 inc Vat,
Just remember its not the price of the machine,its getting it back.
There is though a very early version that has been restored at some point,with a starting price of £200 which includes shipping to your door,Looking at the other 2 and even weighing the cost up of collecting in normal times,that sounds a really good deal,which ever way you look at it,collecting is always the hidden cost.
Its on Wallingfield perhaps one person looking outside the box

The answer to why the Financial Times is pink,they needed to get the news out as cheap as possible and pink paper was the cheapest.
Funny you should pick me up on spelling,I would not spell it that way either,it’s my computer speller,it’s a bit like the predicted text on the phone,thought up by imberseals.

Andrew
