Jeremy Vine Now

[Matthew Storrs]

most chainsaw collisions with the leg will be either kick back or on the run down, I can't possibly think of a situation where you'd be cutting into your leg full bore, you'd have to be a total plonker for that to happen in which case natural selection and all that, I actually find ppe can give a false sense of security- occasionally i use a saw without trousers when im fencing and just need to shape up a strut or something and im never more careful when doing that.

The whole article was complete and utter rubbish, Jeremy Vine deliberately acted it up and made some idiotic comments, which the general public will believe as gospel. I can't believe they spend the licence fee producing shite like this. Vine and his researchers should be sacked, for deliberate mis-information.

As for Katie Holmes, from Land Based Training, well to say she came across poorly is an understatement! She came across like a half-wit!

 

Just my opinion, and I felt it was that poor I have made an offiocial complaint to the BBC - there's a first time for everything!

i watched the you tube but flicked through made my heart miss a beat what he was doing. never been in favor of laws but time has come if you want to use a saw then you have a cs ticket to buy will not stop accidents but may make those think on buying that its not worth it and bring the pros in to do so more work for you arb boys.

Why would they?! It's a radio entertainment program that specialises in the extremes of any situation to provide laughter and outrage in equal measures. I used to find it annoying but now I think it's quite amusing - kind of like a middle-class Jeremy Kyle show on the radio.

 

Bang on!

The bloke that was dismantling an 80ft tree with scaffolding and ladders and pulling the branches off with his car was surely a joke? Scary.

 

No, that's what ex-pats do here after they have decided tree surgeons are just too expensive.

We are due to work at for a couple who did exactly that.

Now the wife has decided that if her husband is to get his health back then economies involving trees are not the way.

I even think Normandy Lumberjack has a good image of scaffolding around a Macrocarpa

(not his own apparantly but I've not seen him climb yet...hhhh!)

Jeremy Vine...the Radios Daily Wail...

Surely everyone's used a motor to pull sticks over? I used ladders just strop onto tree and even one did a bizarre job at the top of scaffolding... As someone said a 70 something year old retired blokes 80ft could be a 20ft tree to a pro...

 

Yeah I guessed the 80ft was a slight exaggeration ,I had visions of blue telecom rope and a Nissan micra haha

Could not agree more, vine is an overpaid hypocrit.Some reports suggest that his salary is upwards of £1,000 000 per annum and to improve ratings bbc employees were used as bogus callers to pretend to be involved in whatever subject had been discussed.I used to listen to jimmy young years ago he was bearable as for vine hes a slimy false accented idiot
