Hi Everyone, I'm a self-employed groundman looking to get into climbing as soon as I have the funds to put myself through the CS38 & 39 tickets. I currently have my CS30 & 31 and have around 7 months of experience as a groundie. I'm based in the Swindon area and mostly work subcontracting to a few different companies as and when they need an extra pair of hands. My diary is mostly quite full, but I could always do with the extra day or two every now and then. I'm open to a conversation around full-time positions if it was right for me, but I would prefer to remain self-employed at this point in time. If you're looking for someone who can slot in and help out when needed, I'm hard-working, have my own vehicle & PPE - and I'm always happy to take logs away if needed too. I'm open to whatever kind of work you might have be it arb or forestry work, all of my experience so far has been domestic. Drop me a text or give me a call, 07906 310967

So, it started with a screenshot of a post by Laurence Fox - talking about Zara Sultana he said 'This foreigner has no right to wear the poppy. Or to sit in parliament for that matter.' Steven P then replied with his 2m Indians served in WW2 comment (implying that her country of origin helped the Allies greatly during the War, so ZS has every right to wear a poppy). You then posted 'She's of Pakistani heritage' Can you even see why it seems you were trying to invalidate what Steven P was trying to do? I.e SP was saying her Indian ancestors had done more than enough in the war to give her the right to wear a poppy - you seemed to come back with words to the effect 'she's not even Indian' Like you say, I may be reading too much into it. I will also say I'm not sure you're capable of being critical of your own thoughts, always easier to justify every single thing.

Absolute drivel from SP Gareth, funny how his obsession with sexual assault etc went out the window with Andrew and his liking of that ****************ing sick prick commenting about my daughter. Mind you he’s tried it himself.

I have little interest in the device itself, but I am interested in the marketing and how, or how it doesn’t gain traction with the small niche community that is tree climbers. You have to admire these companies that spend years doing R&D on these things for not much return except the prestige of manufacturing the “go to” My young trainee climber is reasonably interested and excited, he uses my ZZ plus when he uses a device. If he can be persuaded to part with his hard earned in the coming months, they’ve done well.

Well I've not needed them much but then I don't work very hard. I mainly find the double dogs on my 661 annoying when changing chains on a flat bench.

Good to see you back here Steve and very good to see you're still in the woodworking business; I have in mind the woes Covid caused you. Jon -

Do you mean the value of the timber removed? I have been a Timber buyer for many years and could help with that. If you mean value of the amenity, or cost of replacement or similar then that is not my field.

Yes I hadn't come across the 'coming to the nuisance' thing before. Just reading around it and asking AI.. Not sure how much I personally agree with the brief summary of the below case, however such is law. This presumably could also translate to building a house next to trees then making the tree owner liable for any nuisance issues that arise. Sturges v Bridgman (1879) A doctor built a consulting room next to a long-established confectioner whose machinery caused vibrations. The court held that the confectioner was liable. Famous dictum: “What would be a nuisance in Belgravia Square would not necessarily be so in Bermondsey.” The doctor’s arrival did not bar the claim

Stake looks like it needs removing and & having slate round trees isn't a good idea in general imo. If you really want to max out the crop remove the slate add a mulch round base and through pruning or pegging them down try and get the branches spaced out & make them more horizontal or at least 45 degrees as your tree looks to have a lot of vertical branches which tends to fruit less. Poor blossom but a good crop kind of sounds odd to me as to get a good crop you need good blossom. Also what compatible pollination partner apple trees are growing nearby may also affect fruiting. On a side note that staking pic in the RHS book isn't best practice imo better to do like in the photo below. I think if a stake is attached lower down a trunk as trees develop roots better with some trunk movement is its beneficial imo for root growth . My rule of thumb is attach a stake no higher than 2/3 up a trunk from ground to crown base often lower, RHS book pic looks too high and restrictive and not ideal also staking diagonally avoids the root ball. Also the rootstock type combined with apple variety with govern overall tree max size/vigor and its growth habit and how to approach on any pruning. From the picture looks to be on fairly vigorous root stock size hence the growth..
