Cowboy operators.

I've just been outside milling about when I noticed that the neighbours were having some work done. 3 blokes, no chainsaw protection, jeans, trainers and no helmets! A ladder was put up the walnut and one of them looked over the fence and asked me would it be okay if some branches came over. I asked him why was he cutting it and what was gonna do. He replied he was topping it. I said if you knew anything about the tree you wouldn't do that. We had a little discussion and it confirmed he was a fool. I know it's none of my business what people get done but would you not expect apparent professionals to act and look professional?

He was actually on his way to a Masquerade ball dressed as a fool. We actually call them folks over here Scabs, since we have more respect for our Cowboys over here.

I had a similar thing next door to a job last week. Expensive Stien helmet but he never used the muffs or visor. Wrong trousers. Spikes on backwards! Free climbed. The list was endless.

 

If I say what I really think, Bullman will ban me for ever and call the cops!! HarHar!

Apologies to our American friends:). I just find it hard to take in that people can be so dumb about trees!

Milling in your back garden? bet you neighbours love you!

[breffni]

Ha ha just milling about! Well apparently they aren't going to do the tree now, they cut just one branch which is dripping loads now!

No Sweat:thumbup1:, I just see this so much over here everyday, I try not to get my gander up as much as I use to unless they are fixing to crush a house or car or both by taking down a tree, which I have seen:sneaky2:

...And will drip for the next 345 years being a walnut.

It must have had an effect though so hopefully the tree will be left as it is.

these sort of people put such a negative look on the industry, hate it when people just think i can cut your tree for a few pound notes, which makes it hard for us professionals to win jobs, pricing to do it it safely and properly!!
