Yeh times are hard down here, we've had at least 4 pikey bands set up in Minehead in the last few months undercutting everyone. Back climbing with a groundie to weather the storm, still have gardener on part time though. Gladd things are working out for you if you, realy appreciated your help a few months back.

On my way to get rid of my first load of chip, i saw a young lad up a tree on a set of ladders with some 30 stone bloke holding them for him. Nothin wrong with that i hear you say.

Wrong answer, as he was inches away from some major power lines. i then saw him more or less reach in between them,

When leaving i wanted to be a bit nosey, and drove past to see if i knew them.

No sign writing on the truck, little PPE, no chipper, and an old battered Husky.

What do these people think they are playing at?

People like this give us good tree surgens a bad name,

I't becoming a bloody joke.

Only wish i had my camera

 

 

Phew, I thought it could of been me till I read the 'young lad' and 'husky' bit!

 

On a more serious note though, there does seem to be quite a few people running round here offering 'lopping and topping' at the moment.

Quoted a very large Ash removal in watermouth the other week, over the main road (so TM required) and the location would require about 80% of it to be lowered. Put 2 days on it for 3 guys, tractor and trailer for timber and 2 guy on stop/go. Thought I would make quite a bit on the logs so quoted him £1100 which I thought was quite a good quote (for the customer) considering the arrangement involved......

The guy phoned to say someone offered to do it for free if they could have the wood!
