Working in Germany

[Goliah]

Not by any stretch adept at the language (yet), searching for tree work on German websites present problems. Please help!

Does anyone know of or recommend any tree companies in southern Germany who might take on an English climber?

PM me if you are interested and i'll get you the details.

Try Freelance Baumpflege in Frankfurt the owner is English. A guy called Danny Courtis. I worked there for 4 years, he is a sound bloke and gets some fantastic jobs. Also he is mad into snowboarding if you like that sort of thing.

I got my girlfriend to (reluctantly) bring back a new blower and a long reach hedgecutter, when she came out to see me once. The guy on the x ray machine had to look twice, luckily I gave her the manuals to show them what they were, this was before 911 so I dont think they would have it now though (also a cute smile helped), they wouldn't even let me bring a rope in my hand baggage when I came back from France earlier this year. Price wise back then Stihls were fairly reasonable but now with the exchange rate so crap you're probably better off shopping round over here. I havent noticed a major difference since I bought my first 020.

i was just going to do the usual move over then start ringing around, shouting 'do you speak english'
