Sorry! 

 

I wasn't even there, but just from what I've heard it still makes me laff...

It was painful, you boys can keep that job. Mendiplogs plying me with cider beforehand didn't help the situation.

I was out walking a while ago and saw two blokes who made me look young (I'm 67) one holding and one up the ladder cutting the low branches off a Poplar with a B&Q special which looked like it really needed sharpening. The branches were angled up and he was cutting from the outside so the saw got trapped and he came down for the bow saw, went back up and started cutting above the saw and I swear the bow saw was quicker than the chainsaw. When the branch went the tension was off the saw and he nearly dropped the bow saw on his mate catching the chainsaw before it sailed out the tree. I wished I'd had the foresight to film it.
