Any question answered...

Thanks @atk

It's to transport a painting from Somerset to London. The painting is quite big (110x70cm), fairly heavy, and the oil paint is in tall 'spikes' to the front which can be easily damaged. One issue is that the painting has lost its packing case, and I'm not entirely sure how much time/inclination the current owner has to deal with it.

So, it's a little bit precious (it's art) and a little bit fragile, awkwardly sized and heavy, but not a piece of precision equipment or anything like that. I just have no idea who is appropriate to ask or how much it might cost.

Paisley Freight, Martinspeed, Crown, Constantine - all worth approaching?

US Army, no? UK issues round tags, and rounded rectangles for allergies IIRC.

If I order a €200 (£175) jacket from the UK to Germany, how much taxes do I need to pay?

Perfect, thanks.

Chainsaw chain - I see two that have the right bar length (14inch), pitch (3/8) and gauge (0.05)

One has 50 drive links the other has 52.

Does this make any difference?

What animal could this be? Have I just dug up a dead body in my garden?

how much taxes do I need to pay?

Either the seller has set up for post-brexit cross-channel trade, registered in the EU as a VAT collector, and will already charge you VAT, or they haven't and you will pay 19% VAT on import, plus any handling fee levied by the delivery company.

The big one looks like a feline scapula rather than canine, so I'd guess a cat.

(Don't really have a sense of scale, but that wouldn't really help my guesswork anyway.)

Don't really have a sense of scale

The sense of scale I'm getting would make that a bloody big cat.

@PhilDAS take another picture with a scale in shot.

I think it’s too big to be feline too

Was it under a patio?

In the compost bin. We’ve been here 4 years chucking our food waste in there but never got any compost out of the bottom.
Today, OH digs some out to spread around the garden and finds all these at the bottom

Ah, from the size I'd upgrade my guess to a deer and guess that the previous owners got a load of venison and dumped the remaining bits/bones in the compost bin.

How bizarre.
So I 100% don’t have to phone the police?

Put them in a neighbours garden then call the police and see what happens

Lol off to the Bastard Neighbour thread I go >>>

Leave one half sticking out of the compost heap, call the Police and they will turn it over for you.

Just to point out we're in to deep unqualified territory here. I'm not medically or veterinarly veterinarially trained as a vet so I really am guessing here, but I used to work in catering (again, no official qualifications) and used to see the bones that would come out of various joints of meat.

It looks like a scapula.

Human scapula are less symmetrical. A lot less symmetrical.

Something that size is quite big, a google search for 15cm scapula brings up pictures of deer.

People buy joints of venison and probably (stupidly, if they want their gardens to be ravaged by foxes) dispose of said bones in a compost bin.

Occam's razor, QED, etc.

And I just thought you were a necrophiliac, sorry, my mistake.

How much roughly will a concrete paver weight?

45cm x 45cm x 3.5cm

Cheers.

About 16kg

Do the maths, Google will give you the density.
