    That's some size of outfit, and a nursery-worth of plants!

    Jesus Kerry, fill your boots!

    I'd be tempted by those plotters and computers (there may be some interesting software on them).

    In the guise of Eco-Maze, are them soil screeners any good to you?

    Shocked by this news, guess much of their business went the way of Silvanus/ used to work for these guys when I was at Uni in Plymouth some really good guys used be on the team.

    Interesting to read the footnote :

    ""Earlier in the year, the loss-making firm said it had uncovered "serious failings" in financial and operational controls""

    So how much was down to that and how much down to the economy ?

    A bet there's a few firms that have let financial controls slip and are feeling the issues now....

    Does this machine sift the surface of stone as its being dragged?

    Would I be able to load soil from astock pile into the machine with a mini digger?
  • David Beasley Garden Design November 17, 2010 at 7:40pm
    I've absolutely no idea how it works Kerry, it just sounded like a plausible S.I.D. to me!

    Thanks David

    I too am not sure how this machine works, any one know or can advise?

    Obviously bad news for all the people that have lost their jobs! :(

    Item 376 stands out - a sack truck with alarm bell --- eh?

    Glad I don't live near Devon or I'd be blowing loads on loads of useful stuff!!
