One liners from customers

when the lead climber is out on a limb during a re-shape, "how is he doing that, is he just balancing, isn't that dangerous?".................... Are you stupid, can you not see the rope, do you think we are that mad!

One job we went to, one of the kids in the house came out with a little toy Stihl and we managed to convince an elderly, (bit dopey) gardener that we used it for intricate tree work and small reductions!!

I used to get asked if i was any good at rock climbing. Plus, clients would always say on the phone " its huge, can you deal with it?" You'd turn up and its like 50ft.

"Do you need an extension lead for your tools?"

 

 

To which I replied "no mrs they have a petrol engine"

 

old bag answers " does it have its own electric generator then.":ohmy:

We had an "emergency" job, the woman on the phone said it would take a morning, so we packed up polesaws climbing kits and lowering ropes. We got to the address and were met with an apple tree that would have struggled to reach 8ft. I thought it was hilarious, somehow, the boss disagreed!!

some woman asked me if that big machine on the back my van could cut grass!!!!

[Mesterh]

had this one quite a few times " I really love trees but not that one"

 

Had the conifer one a few times aswell, after taking 10 foot off will another 2 inches really make a difference!

 

Wasnt me but after one of the lads had been climbing all day with a set of spikes on the customer quietly says to another lad "It's amazing what these disabled people can do nowadays"
