within the industry

It would be nice to think that our peers and colleagues all work to the same high moral standards, but it's unfortunate that there are wrong'uns in every clique. Just look at some the recent episodes of Watchdog

[DN22 Gardening]

had a throwline nicked about a month ago.

 

left it up an ivy covered scots pine, about the worst climb i've had recently.

 

it wasn't the fact that some scroat had nicked the line. it was more the fact that i had ANOTHER horrendous climb !!!!!!!!

 

by the time i'd got high enough to get out of the spikes and off my strop, i'd have throttled the little so and so. my mood wasn't helped by my two groundies chatting to each other (just loud enough for me to hear) about how, at 44, maybe it was time for me to hang the ropes up.

when the lead groundie happened to mention that he could probably get up said tree in, oohhh, maybe 10 mins max, a sacking was on the cards..

 

time to take three deep breaths and take a minute to have a good look over the rooftops and calm down.

got my revenge by dropping the pine in huge lumps :lol:
