I put Mr Bublé in the same category. Really not my cup of tea, but a consummate Professional. Entertainer with a capital E. For that, I admire him.

Heaven forfend!. Absolutely not. I fear you missed the impishly humorous inference I was hoping to make. Apologies to both gentlemen, and your good lady. Mea culpa.

I am looking for size 5 boots that are wide fitting.any one got any ideas.thanks

Oh god! TBH, I’d rather track it off a cliff than go through what you did.

Rain, Doing a bit of first thinning in woodland, just felling what I can and making tress that need a bit of a shuve in the right direction as to wet for machine at the moment.

Thank you for mentioning this, I appreciate that, as I am very much V over IR man..

What’s the name

If only I were that accomplished at propaganda.

Some good points above. One thing I’d add from going through this transition myself is that whoever’s reviewing the paperwork is usually just checking for consistency rather than detail. They want to see that the method statement, risk assessment and any site info all tell the same 'story' I used to treat them as separate documents and it always felt repetitive. What worked better for us was building them as a single system where the method feeds the risk assessment and the site-specific bits sit on top. Once that structure’s in place, it’s quick to adapt job to job. we ended up rebuilding ours in Word after a rejection so we could reuse and tweak them properly rather than starting from scratch each time. Then we can just have it loaded on the tablet on site. Since then we’ve not had any questions coming back from clients. For mostly domestic work it can feel overkill, but once you start touching commercial or managed sites it’s worth getting a solid base in place early.

Anyone tried the downrigger?

Got a demo to do and some marketing with a magazine and a blogger!

I'm seeing this quite regularly on Sorbus Spp. and Prunus Spp. on street trees. Am I correct in thinking this is P. pomaceus? I'm commonly seeing it in the lower stem/buttress area, rarely on scaffold branches. Thanks.

Another one for the Makita battery brigade. Bought this a while back, simply because it was offered at a stupid price. With a cheap chinese auger extension, it's making my current fencing job easier. It's a decent drill for big blacksmith drill bits, too, and even core bits if you haven't got mains nearby. It doesn't have the sheer grunt of the petrol auger, but it's handier, and more versatile.

I have as much as you want Jack can you bring your saw with you on collection please. I am based in south wales come and fill your boots pal 😆🤣

🤣🤣🤣

People throw the word LEDGEND about for anyone these days but he truly was in the game of snooker.

Hi, I have a tip site at our farm (Oakstream Pastures) in Burnley but wanted to know what would encourage tree surgeons / arborists to actually use us? I'm happy to pay for the chip or exchange for eggs / chicken etc (whatever produce we have that might be interest!). We have regular use for chip and do pay for the bulk load from time to time. We use it for bedding, mulch and composting so never have enough!
