From what I’ve seen in similar situations, the best way to get an accurate value is to ask an arboricultural consultant to do a tree valuation using something like the CAVAT or Helliwell method. They’ll look at size, condition, amenity value, etc. If the timber has already been removed it’s still possible to estimate based on stump size and photos. Replacing them with mature screening trees can get pricey depending on size, even semi-mature stock can run into the hundreds per tree once you factor in planting and aftercare. Fully mature specimens can go into the thousands. Might be worth getting a couple of quotes locally to compare.

Remember that a classic . Same as the piano one Right said Fred . " If we remove the ceiling , I'v got a sorta feeling , with a rope or two we could drop the blighter though " ...

Please don't spoil our grump with logical explanations

The principal is the same.

Show them how to disconnect chipper and see what reaction you get. If no one has shown them there's your problem, may only be one doing it wrong.

Arrh u see , what the problem is ,if its to wet you cant re instate the hole if its too wet you get something called the pudding effect, type one goes a bit crap , the chunks of stone goes to the bottom , finer dust /water comes to the top ..thus cant be compacted. Nor can the job be finished

Thanks guys Ive used both metal and plastic and had issues with both! bootlace ferrules i'll give that a go as its going to get me pulled over one of these days for them not working! Plenty of slack for turning but cant say the boys are using the correct part to connect/ pull from but surely its common sense?! Cheers

I started out at 38 and got my first groundie job within a week of sending a few emails. Just stayed keen, showed up on time, and listened.

Totally agree. I have a photo of a hole dug in a pavement near me which then had a set of three way temporary lights set up and the only obstruction was a small pile of earth in the road - between parked cars. Ludicrous and caused massive congestion for absolutely nothing. Actually thinking about it the A48 near me had this earlier this year....but that was a four way set of lights. And for three days it was just for the pavement - nothing at all in the road. Finally they dug up the road. But the chaos it caused for the first few days on a very bust bus route was awful. No brain was engaged in that traffic managament except covering their backs.

You beat me to it, I was about to stick this up. A true ambassador for Reggae and Jamaica.

I do not see the headlight activated traffic lights or camera Activated ones around any more

Oh yes - you're onto a winner there. I'm not sure if I've dreamt this or not 😁 but I have a vision in my mind of turning needless temporary lights away from the road one night... 🤔

Now I have turned something on, but there was no red warning! G.O.M.S. While we are on about Road Closed signs what about sets of roadwork traffic lights and cones and barriers that are not protecting a hole in the road, that could easily be shifted to the side after work , holding traffic up all through the night needlessly. Or similar in the daytime when nobody is working except for one man reading the paper in his van with the engine running. Talk about pollution as it is happening all over the country

Alongside self service checkouts at the top end of the annoyance and frustration scale for me are app based car parks. I believe I may have mentioned both of these before ........... PROGRESS?!

A couple of months back I mad the huge mistake of attempting to use a self checkout at Tescos. It took me 10 minutes and two staff members helping me to pay for two packs of sandwiches and a packet of crisps. 10 seconds - or less - for a human to run them over a scanner and display the price for me to tap my card...

I have 'zombie' hands - it is a thing (though I suspect might be a combination of cold hands and oil if I have been playing in the garden with the toys) - taps (sorry, faucets...) with automatic sensors, hand driers, stupid help yourself tills at the supermarkets, all in the hope that someone will invent something better than what we had up to 10 or 15 years ago. Weirdly the chip n pin machine - the important one to take my money, doesn't have touch screen... and works 100% of the time

Baths with spring loaded plugs in the middle so when you move you let the water out.WTF

This thread is made for me! I have wondered in the past about starting a thread about terrible design, but this is even better. Following on from the taps mentioned earlier, what about automatic taps that simply do not work. I first came across this in 1997 (so etched on my mind was the trauma of not being able to work a tap) and one would think they would work well now. But no. I know a set of three newly installed at a local sports club near me where you have to dodge between them all hoping that you will get enough little dribbles out of each to finally wash your hands.

Excellent point. And then if you go past the sign (as they are so often obsolete) and then people shake their heads at you when you are forced to turn round as it is actually closed!
