Paco is an alien:

Taking everything you say at face value - I would pay you £180 a day (after tax/PAYE). There are a lot of variables at play though - is most of your work domestic? How saturated is your area? Just bear in mind that not all businesses /owners are making loads of money which will be reflected in what they can pay their staff (not your problem I know but is if you’re geographically locked). You sound like you work well as part of the company and maybe all you need to do is have a chat with the boss!

SRV swapped from guage 13 to 11s when he quit cocaine. Clearly 13's here.

I did everything by the book. Literally

I know Crystal clear what happend and how it happend . I doubt you know the capabilities of a forwarder, I dont either ...as you will only know if you refer to the operators manual same as tracked carriers.. every machine is different . The forwarder was on full outreach ,working from a ride ,the tree was still semi attached by hinge. The assessor should of dealt with it not the candidate , and no feedback . Wether you like someone as a candidate or not your there to asses them nothing else . In the end the assessor just took chunks of the tree until it fell to the ground ... not good practice .

I know what the capabilities of a forwarder are and how to untangle a tree 😂. If you have safely attempted to bring down a hung tree using appropriate methods but where unable to do so, and you arranged mechanical assistance to deal with it, you would not fail, you clearly failed for other things, memory has a funny way of playing tricks.

Wasn't around in 2002, ive just got eye slip saying pass fail, Ive also got the a3 book that's still saying pass fail in a unit module.

A forwarder is designed to lift ,not pull. If u want to untangle tree u use a tractor winch , the tree species was beech /hornbeam. And what should of happend is the assessor should have taken over. I got the tree hung up and couldn't get it unstuck

When was this exactly, because candidate feedback has been around forever.

You clearly were ‘not competent’, hence you failed. You didn’t fail because a forwarder driver, who wasn’t even being assessed,couldn’t get your tree down, nor because the assessor was a c*nt.

It was me it happend to , and the forwarder was a valtra valmet derived machine .. blame the twat on the forwarder then.. Don't blame someone that is competent, can even tell you which assessor it was . I wasn't driving the forwarder, nor was I the assessor..so blame those to useless hunts. At the end of the day it was a question I answered honestly , and itbwas in the days before candidate feedback

On my small felling ticket I forgot to put my gob in, then pushed the tree over with my knob, assessor didn’t like my 18 year old confidence, so I bitch slapped him until I passed.

It was a 400’ mahogany. 15’ butt.

Decent lie in doing the crossword etc, couple of diy type jobs to be done. Booked a Crete holiday for next August and thinking of what I need to do with trip to old folk in Devon. Truly awful rain storm yesterday evening so didn't get to the Brewshed! Enjoy your Sunday! Warren, Peas.

As an aside I passed, but probably shouldn’t have. I was safe enough, but very, very green. I think the assessor passed me because he was worried we’d both get hypothermia, I was that slow. He did warn me I had a LOT to learn.

This thread is going to quickly escalate into bullshittery and bollox of the highest order, largely made up of nonsense and things that never happened, but good luck with the ‘data’.😂

All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the one in charge... "I should be in charge," said the brain , "because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen." "I should be in charge," said the blood , "because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd waste away." "I should be in charge," said the stomach,"because I process food and give all of you energy." "I should be in charge," said the legs, "because I carry the body wherever it needs to go." "I should be in charge," said the eyes, "because I allow the body to see where it goes." "I should be in charge," said the rectum, "because I'm responsible for waste removal." All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him so, in a huff, he shut down tight. Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery, and the blood was toxic. They all decided that the rectum should be the boss. The Moral of the story? Even though the others do all the work.... the asshole is usually in charge.

What did the potter say to the venture capitalist? We're going to make a kiln.

What size trees where these when a forwarder couldn’t get it down? 😂

Back to Maverick, par four. Wordle 1,555 4/6* ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I was failed at Sparsholt college , Loads of experiance passed all the tree felling assessments bar a hung up tree...got the tree hung up, couldn't get it down using approved techniques ,instead of the assessor taking over the situation ,I was told to get a forwarder -forwarder couldn't get the tree down .. so i failed on that element. Shouldn't of been a failure but the assessor was known to be a knob. What should of happend was the assessor should have taken over the situation and got the tree down. The were alot of assesors back then that didnt like a confident experienced 18 Yr old back then
