• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    Venison is a tasty alternative to beef Every time I lose a tree I visit the local butcher for some revenge. With the associated pollution caused by traditional farmed livestock and the oversized uk wild deer population problem surely someone could do a 2+2 calculation?

    eBay listings and bladed items

    I used to sell on ebay, circumstances changed and I stopped for a few years but now I won't. Its unduly loaded against the seller. I sell a bit on Gumtree now and then Its great for local buyers who can save on postage but you dont get the visibility of ebay
