    I was so taken by the map I thought of more vital NP statistics we could plot - height, age, house price;), charge out rate, BMI:eek: and then thought better of it.

    I charge out in cake.

    A map showing which cake is supplied by each NP would be helpful I think, especially if it was compatible with AA route planner.

    His material hasn't changed since i have known dh, and dh says its been the same since he was young, and dh's dad said it was the same in the sixties :D. If it were goi g to be knew and exciting, or, um....good, maybe we would feel more inspired.

    This sounds familiar. Not someone whose first name begins with G and second with T by any chance?

    Six degrees of separation & all that! ;)

    £1k and £1500 to fell a few trees! :eek:

    As posted elsewhere, we did four in a short day here and it cost £60. OK, they werent massive, just about 20', but I got a couple of tonnes of logs and 3 big dumpy bags of woodchip FOC from it. :D

    The roots/stumps were something else. Needed a digger and I am still burning them, regularly.

    In the spirit of changing avatar's, I googled "thinking man's crumpet". I got Kirsty Allsop. I gave up.

    To be fair, you had a choice.

    I went for:draliceroberts_450x300.jpg

    Her partner here doesn't look like much opposition.... ;)

    Sorry dave. I have no idea who she is.

    ETA, just googled again, don't know why her pic didn't come up last time. Now she's no 1. Still don't want to be Kirsty, or Carol Vorderman. Joan Bakewell's formidable but a bit older than I'd like to portray. I don't want to look like a BBC newsreader. It's all a bit stereotypical really. Maybe I should just put up a picture of JLo who I do genuinely think is the most beautiful looking woman and be done with it. After all, on the internet, nobody looks anything like their avatar - even when its a picture of them - so I might as well aim high.

    "Professor Alice Roberts is an anatomist, author and broadcaster, best known for presenting BBC2's Coast and the Incredible Human Journey."

    It's OK, I have no idea who most of the other stand-in/stunt double avatars are either! :rotfl:

    I didn't even recognise Steve Jones and I do at least know what he looks like. Somehow his face looks fatter in the picture. He's still annoying though.

    Who's in your pic? It looks a bit like Keith Moon but avatars are small and my eyes are cr*p.

    London prices I guess.

    Wary of not using a pro, if they crash they land in the Summer house, so no solar PVs.

    Could leave the stumps at about 8' quite happily. Part of the cost must be schlepping the wood 200' up the garden and taking it away. Side walkway is standard 3' width and no other exit.
