I don't believe it, I actually dreamt about trees last night.

 

Something to the tune of I came across a row of topped trees which had been done to let light into a new housing estate and I was taking a photo of them to post on Arbtalk.

 

How sad is that??

You know your a Tree Surgeon when

 

So all,lets hear yours.

 

1; You answer your phone and they say " is that the tree man"

 

2; your spirits rise when you take an inquire about a take down and the customer says " its a very big tree, two other firms have looked at it, but never got back to me, would you be interested ?" you reply " Oh yes":001_tt1:

 

3;your spirits fall when Mrs X calls you regarding a very large conifer hedge you "used" to cut, but you asked her last year if she should get some one else, as you where to busy doing "proper" tree work to do it,

she explains that the other firm she had got did not do it as well as you and is there any chance you could do it this time? Please?
