Tell me about it, Faaip.

We had a very large garden in Sussex, Privet & Leylandii hedges all round the back of the garden & some at the front of the garden. It use to take me the best part of three days to get the hedges looking beautifully trimmed.

shouldn't leave it so long between cuts

Really Swannie. Bury St Edmunds. Had loads last night and some more today. Amazing how localised it can be.
I imagined all of Suffolk & Norfolk had seen heavy rain.

Did you see the local news last night? Kentford near Newmarket had over 100mm of rain in a few hours, and Bury St Edmunds had 71mm. Certain parts of East Anglia had nothing. The storm for us started at 4am until nearly 7am and we lost power for 45 minutes.

Not surprised Chilli. It filled up my 3 water butts double quick. Didn’t lose power as far as I know but it was a cracking storm. Thunder was weird. Non stop.
I’ve known it to be wet on my side of Bury and dry on the other side before now. Very localised

The environmental consequences are scary. That’s the epitome of cutting off your nose to spite your face

“Chancellor tells British public to cut back”. According to the BBC.
This is in response to the massive hike in energy bills soon to be unleashed on the public.
After I’ve got the new iPhone, a new car, had my garden landscaped, bought drugs & wine and been on an expensive holiday I’m planning to cut back before my next benefits payment

They should be able to re build it for you. If it's just a cusp it will be easy, if it's a lot of the crown then still can be done. Have you any pain? Hopefully the nerve isn't exposed?

I spent 20 years in dentistry.....materials these days are superb, much better than when I was in dental

Can you remember if you've bitten on anything hard recently? I bit on a pitted olive but some of the stone was still in it...totally unexpected, nothing happened then but a few days later it fractured, already broken by the olive stone.

The entire crown came off. No pain though.

I was about to say were you in the dental industry
I used to get a check up & hygienist for £28 and now it’s over £100 as the hygienist is no longer NHS.
If you have anything major done god help you ££££

Mars bars have a lot to answer for ......one dislocated my shoulder once, think it was 2001 or thereabouts.
