no agree its not but its cheaper than £5 for a handful that you will pay in most stores.

If the OP is willing to freeze because they are too tight to pay £10 or so for a trailer load at the tip then they can discount it as an option.

The NLUKbot suggests this post from 2009 as a source of information for *CHEAP LOGS*

Backhanders are fine

Any chance you could post a high resolution picture of the fire? The 6.1MB file doesn't quite provide a good enough view of it.

Is that what it is? The 35 M/bit per second connection did not even blink when it was uploaded.

That's not free.

I like the concept

Spot on!

Gypsies will be on your case if you start that marlarky!

So, let me get this straight.


Perhaps my missus could slip on a racy number and stand by the back door whilst you load your van?

She only does that when you are 'away'(or maybe you are just in the closet with a video camera?)

Have you tried local warehouses ask if you can dispose of their broken pallets?
Find a local tree surgeon / professional gardener slip them a few pints.
local sawmill / carpenter

If you take a drive around Surrey (try the road to Dorking) you will see a huge amount of wood that's been cut up and left on the pavements to clear the roads after the last storm
Get yourself a reflective waistcoat and amber flashing light for your vehicle & I doubt anyone would challenge you

Do people not make and burn those paper log things anymore???

[d000hg]

So, let me get this straight.

You can't take it from a forest but you can buy (pay) for it, and CUK folks will give you this wood you can't find you can only buy for free?

Do you want some free beer whilst you are here collecting it?

No but the are usually owned either by the council, or private owners and thus you are stealing if you take logs...

Now you're getting the idea...

There is just one thing you're missing, quite often people have trees in the back gardens - you know those green areas outside your house? Sometimes branches come off.... Hope you're keeping up with the lateral thinging... Now here is the leap of faith, sometime people give this wood away!!

As for your mrs, feel free to post the pick up here

I'd rather burn it than give it away for free.

Besides, if everyone burns wood, all the carbon the tree has kindly locked up from the atmosphere will be released, causing the Earth to warm and sea levels to rise and the Maldives will be gone and I'm planning on visiting there in the near future.

Lateral thinging? Is that one of those sideways wotsits?

[Old Greg]

I have just started looking on there... thanks for the tip though

Maybe gumtree? It's not an actual tree btw.
