It must be odd to feel that you don't trust your friends to tell you the truth.

Healthy scepticism I would say.

The most depressing thing about the lockdown, is all the judging. It's a very sad part of the British character, that so many love to raise themselves up, by putting others down.

Kier Starmer and the London Labour elite ? word is they love a bit of bagel ? action. Abbot apparently could hammer through a rake of them per day.

No worries! 

I did visit Dunedin a while back and met a few arbs down there. Its pretty cut throat for tree work rates. From memory they were charging only a little more per day for 3 guys than we would for 2 and even the well established companies were still struggling to grow.

 

I think the issue is that for the population, average house hold income is low and to many arborists are being trained there and doing cash work for student beer money and its dragging the whole industry down to unsustainable levels. 

And now with the brakes on tourism due to the lockdown, its not going to be any better

We were in Aldi's yesterday, no customers wore masks nor gloves, social distancing in place though. They have a new rule about bagging up. You can't! Food goes back in trolley/basket until after payment then you can bag it up away from the tills! I asked why thinking I'd get an explanation. Cashier said that's the rule. So that's me told!
