FSI stump grinders

I vow never to spend another centime beyond what I need to run my house in this country.

They are utterly indifferent when I show them a U.K quote, pout, shrug, wave arms in that way French people do and often say shit like "but it won't conform" or "it's not the same machine" or even plain old " you are lying you perfidious Anglais, your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberrys"

Nation of lying cowards.
And old men in Lycra.
Foods good though [emoji12]

Resto was good today.

3 decent and tasty courses with extra rose-ay because Luckeleven tipped a wink at the waitress who could have passed for Eddy Izzard's sister or even Eddy himself...

One of the few things I miss about working in France is eating a 3or4 course meal every lunchtime.
Sandwiches are really sh*t in comparison.

I've just been quoted €27600 including VAT for the zt1844 38hp by the Bandit dealer over here. That's about £24000! Ok, he offered me between €8000 and €10000 part ex for my Vermeer SC30tx, but how can there be such a difference in price?

Try £24500 PLUS VAT in Sweden ?

I am occasionally contacted by other French arborists asking how they might buy kit from the U.K

This week, it was 2 used chippers from a guy near Bordeaux who stands to save 12k or more over French used prices for the price of a few days jolly, ferry and hotel.

I help with bookings, translation and advice and am available on line or phone if required.

No fee, just for the 'bonne volonté'

Send me some big boxes of Muscadet sil vous plait while you in entrepreneurship mode! There is some good cheap kit in France!

[Ty Korrigan]

Not in our trade.

 Only things that are cheap in France are properties and wines.

 Ask any expat.
