Another pointless thread

They eat dead leaves and fungus. Some eat carrion. Some eat other slugs and snails.
They provide food for toads, frogs, salamanders, some birds, and, when times are tough, hedgehogs too.

That said they can eat a plant faster than in grows and kill it. They can transmit all sorts of nasties (which is why hedgehogs only eat them if there is nothing else), and a generally a nuisance.

Now ticks - those are truly pointless beasties, unless you are the bacteria of some dreadful disease.

Just been looking for price for new front boots for Freda

Main Dealer £444 for the pair !!

Frogherder suggested Black Circles - same tyre £317

No contest

I've used Black Circles for some years now and they have always been the cheapest, though they don't always have a fitter near me. You shouldn't have that problem.

You will get some credit from this purchase towards your next purchase as well, plus 2.5% Quidco cashback if you use Quidco.

Ooooooh that would be nice - the credit I mean

I'll be needing back boots for her next year I suspect.

Makes me glad I don't own a Freelander.

yes me to ,I just bought two AT tyres for the 4x4 mazda from my local garage in the village 220 euros , I thought that was OK ...jeff..

Can't really complain - I'm only at 4mm [ well was in May when she was serviced ] and as far as I know those boots were put on after her Lease contract was up when I bought her 3 years ago

When I needed new tyres for My Toyota 4x4 the cheapest option was to join Costco and buy from there.

By Boots do you mean the "road contact system"

-

Not so bad then , the roads (or rather the lack of them)and the extremes in temperature around here trash tyres. I think the pair I just replaced are three years old ,bought for the one before last MOT or rather the greek version ,only every two years ...jeff...

Come on Algi - get it right

Oh! is that the same as tyres

Only if you insist on being passe




Changing the subject I'v just been asked my opinion of "Gumtree"

Having never used (actually never previously heard of) this site I was unable to assist.

Anyone have any comments/warnings/exhaltations regarding Gumtree


regards
Bernard

I bought an "as new" laptop through Gumtree. I obtained the phone number from the vendor and negotiated a good price. He only lived a few miles away so was able to inspect before purchase. I got a very good deal.
Sadly there hasn't been anything else I wanted, within driving distance.

I've 'Gumtree'd' a couple of times... Generally a good experience... Walked away from a couple of deals though too (When folk act dodgy they generally are dodgy) that I just didn't want to be involved with...
