welcome to the 21st century mate

 

I think you meant to say "welcome to hell mate"

But really the fact that this question is being asked is bordering on the ridiculous, its another nail in the coffin for common sense. Soon common sense will just be something you read about in a museum!

When i get out of the tree i have a drink and then a smoke and if there is anything left to do then i get stuck in without even thinking of what helmet or trousers i have on because i have a helmet and class c's on so what the hell is the problem?

i hope that when you smoke you are a safe distance away from any source of ignition, i.e. the combi can you have just used to fill the saw up:lol:

If I had a climber in who refused to help on the ground he'd be lucky to get paid. I only have type c trousers and manage to use them on the ground. If he was really that upset about helmets, I'd give him mine and go without. Do think this is a wind up though.

the only thing that worries me about the smoke is if i get handed a lighter thats got the flame turned up too high! i hate losing eyebrows:001_tt2:

Why do you need a helmet or chainsaw trousers to drag brash?

Think he was meaning for the chipper and sawing the lumpy bits off. But if you did get your chinstrap caught in brash you wer feeding into the chipper then you aint feeding it right imo. Get you common sense out and use it, while your at it tie a rock round the h & s guys foot ant throw him in the sea:sneaky2:

I'd like to know about these special construction type c's which you can't walk in. Or the amazing helmets that drag you into chippers... (cos i've often seen brash entangle in helmets badly enough to rip a man off his feet) Am I the only one who would laugh if someone actually suggested this on a job? Not in a nasty way, but I'd think I was dealing with a really good joker.
