@davelomax @JurajMikurcik @holz_bau @ArchitypeUK Thanks David - I’ve been following this project and the work of the many partners involved. Here’s a swop for you: have a look at our build-back-rural.com site to find out about the mobile DLT factory we’ve been developing.

@timberinitiativ @JurajMikurcik @holz_bau @ArchitypeUK If you’d like to know more or to reach out to the project directly, do please see the link below. build-in-wood.eu

@davelomax @JurajMikurcik @holz_bau @ArchitypeUK David - I wasn’t being critical of your comments and I’m delighted to learn that WTA is on the case. My own underlying interest is in getting mass timber into production in the UK using home grown timber - something that’s much less expensive with DLT.

@timberinitiativ @JurajMikurcik @holz_bau @ArchitypeUK …every mass timber commercially available system in the EU and codify it such that it can be combined with other systems to meet standards for all parts of the building codes across the EU. I’m certain this has covered DLT in some detail…

@JurajMikurcik @davelomax @holz_bau @ArchitypeUK Have a look at our online short courses https://www.masstimber academy.com - four more sessions on DLT to go!

@JurajMikurcik @davelomax @holz_bau @ArchitypeUK (Yes, there is more than one type of DLT) and it’s not necessarily the case that it uses more wood than CLT - it depends on the system, the use and the specification. DLT buildings up to seven storeys are no more complicated than timber frame …. More…

@JurajMikurcik @davelomax @holz_bau @ArchitypeUK David - the reason the Mass Timber Academy’s has organised its online short course, ‘Design and Construct with Dowel Laminated Timber’, has to do with the fact that there is so little knowledge amongst architects and engineers in this country about these non-glued systems …more

@fionnstevenson @55n @MoreOurselves @WaughThistleton @ArchitypeUK We are a long way beyond the original issues that worked against DLT. Edinburgh Napier’s COCIS has done invaluable research on species, resource availability, structural performance, etc. Way beyond manual fabrication too. Happy to talk more about where the technology sits now.

@fionnstevenson @MoreOurselves @WaughThistleton @ArchitypeUK Possible to build up to seven storeys in DLT. We already build to that height in Scotland using platform timber frame.

@greggwatson90 Count me in.

@williamnhutton A front rank politician??? The man who sold the nation's gold reserve at the lowest price and who knowingly wrecked everyone's pensions??? And who bequethed us the current crop of reprobate politicians??? Aye, right.

At last a front rank politician breaks ranks in the political class’s timid collusion with Brexit. Good for Gordon Brown to speak up for rejoining the EU. He speaks for many millions of us! Gordon Brown says he will not give up fight to reverse Brexit theguardian.com/politics/2021/…

@mrandysummers @HarryWhitmore Thanks Andy - much appreciated! Harry, please also have a look at our education and innovation websites- masstimberacademy.com & build-back-rural.com - and DM me for more information.

@F1ArmchairAssoc @DeborahMeaden Is that meant to be an ironical comment? If not, please tell which part of the Brexit negotiations he managed well? Borders? Fishing? Ireland?

Well they should have.....anyone who was paying proper attention did.

@flymomike @DeborahMeaden Michael, could you maybe change that last line to English public please? Scotland didn't vote for this shower of gangsters, spivs, racists and crooks.

You have to be kidding me? 😳

@duncancltaylor @roswh @achill_jim @LesleyRiddoch Ah. I thought about attending the conference but felt thirty quid was a bit of a cheeky charge to members for an online event, especially as I’m still raging about money I previously donated when Nicola put out a call for funds for a referendum & which now seem to have gone awol.

@timberinitiativ @roswh @achill_jim @LesleyRiddoch I didn't just donate money. I paid so I could attend the conference as a delegate and vote for the exact same people that stood on a platform that you would support. Then they left and joined Alba. Not what I had voted for. Feeling a bit let down, tbh. Hope that clarifies.

No one saw the SNP’s epic success coming back in 2011, so tactical voting by unionist parties was virtually absent. Now it's rife. That's what makes the SNP's 64 seat win such a triumph. It's victory under fire. spectator.co.uk/article/sturge…

@duncancltaylor @roswh @achill_jim @LesleyRiddoch Not quite sure what you mean: those ex members of the SNPs NEC driven out by internal party shenanigans or those ex members of the SNP who decided to leave the party to join ALBA? Not necessarily the same thing? And did somebody twist your arm to donate money? Was it PT Barnum?

@timberinitiativ @roswh @achill_jim @LesleyRiddoch They left to join a new party. I voted for them in good faith but may as well not have bothered. Will I get my £30 back?

@duncancltaylor @roswh @achill_jim @LesleyRiddoch They didn’t my let anyone down: they were driven out.

@roswh @achill_jim @LesleyRiddoch Well, I hope we can have a civilised discussion about GRA now. It would have been good for some of our elected NEC (who I helped to choose, exactly for the reasons you state) to have represented people's concerns, but they chose to leave, mere weeks after making promises to us.

@AgentHomepride @mcgeechan_ian @ReadingLasses17 @ChildOfAlba @NicolaSturgeon Prejudice is not truth. Invective is not honesty. Being unable to accept criticism, never mind apologise, for your shallow, thoughtless and wholly insensitive remark is the reaction of a petulant, spoiled child. But not a happy one.

@timberinitiativ @mcgeechan_ian @ReadingLasses17 @ChildOfAlba @NicolaSturgeon True though

@AgentHomepride @mcgeechan_ian @ReadingLasses17 @ChildOfAlba @NicolaSturgeon A very sick and quite unnecessary comment.

@mcgeechan_ian @ReadingLasses17 @ChildOfAlba @NicolaSturgeon Shame the people who died in care homes can't do the same!
