I have been thinking about a similar idea for sometime as I have noticed that a lot of people in the area have fruit trees that they are unable to harvest properly. Each year I see so many apples rot on the floor and it seems like such a terrible waste... Especially when you think about the amount of cider that could be made (and perry in the case of pears).


I would love to start some sort of ED co-op cider where everyone donates their apples to a central press and then dependant on how much cider we make, we could split it amongst all do donatees. We might have to get some sort of disclaimer though as scrumpee can be notoriously dangerous!

It has been dormant for a while but has lots of potential along the lines we've been discussing on this thread. Perhaps it will find its time later this year as the apple "harvest" approaches.

Hi Sue

I hope the music went well, Marilyn my outgoing SNUB partner was busy doing this. I was at work, although I enjoyed the end of the fair. I will try and organise with my incoming gardening partner for SNUB something similar. Not sure when though. My incoming Bikes project partner is keeping me busy with funding :)-D .As always watch this space, for up and coming SNUB events.

Hi all, wow wasn't expecting such a good response! Having already killed half of what I planted (novice gardener.. who stupidly went on holiday without making arrangements for watering of the garden..) I'm not sure now how much extra I will have but will stay in the loop.

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
