love the comments about the hedge lol.... had a message in the office today off a lovely gentleman asking me to give him a price on removal for some stumps hes doing a self build / renovation of this big house. anyways someone passing today said he would do the job for him for £450 so with that inside information in mind i go off to see the job. its easy £900/ £1000 job and thats reasonable it is on a pavement's edge and services everywhere. so i rang him back and just said can we have a meeting on site to discuss before i give you the price , anyways i asked if you don't mind telling me how was this "guy" going to do the stumps? he said well he didn't say he just said he could do them but it would have to be this week as the he is off on holiday next week hahaha. In a nasty kind of way i don't want to get the job so i can watch this guy remove the stumps and probably the pavement and services as well haha :001_tt2::001_tt2::thumbup:

I got approached by a "tree surgeon" one day that asked if I did big trees? To which I replied "yes, I deal with any and all sorts of trees" "excellent, ill take your number cause we just specialise in small trees" he replied. I wondered weather he should be changing his name to bonsai tree carry haha. Another thing to add is he was one of those un liked caravan dwellers :/
