Studies report that burglary is one of the most emotionally impactful crimes to be a victim of. The prevention of being succumbed to it is always at the back of our minds – is anything on show? Are all the windows closed? Did you definitely lock…

"Thanks Adam, an interesting counter-argument! 2 questions- 1) is this just the throttle-stop screw, and 2) are they then very noisy? We do seem to have some very noise-averse customers!"
"Thanks Peter, I did notice there was no forward speed on the specs!"

"I was tempted by the Weibang, but horrified by the weight! Having seen Adam's comments, I'm tempted to look at the Cobra RM48SPH (this is mostly doing small-medium gardens). What are other people's thoughts re this mower, or Cobra in general?"

"4 wheel weibangs are what i use in the wet great machines and not as heavy as the roller version"
"Depends how much you want to spend.... Cobra/Kaaz/Lawnflite etc are a good machine for the money - I have run them for about ten years now. Yes the gearbox cogs are a consumable, but they aren't all that bad to do. Roller bearings do wear out…"

It's been a mixed week for you but I read it as a good week.
1. Point the hose at any smoke or fire that you can see, or any where that you are told to or that other firemen are going for.
2. Perhaps tape record the lessons so that you can take them in at your own pace (overnight and fast).
3. You win jobs and you lose jobs - if you didn't win them they didn't exist in the first place, you are no worse off.
4. Write about gardening. That's why we are all hear in the first place and you have lots of interesting things to impart.
5. Customers to website, music from home via a friend. Think your days are good Offer.
hope your training goes well, can you read at home for studying ?
