Rogue Traders - Monday 16 March - Rogue Tree Surgeons

[tommer9]

think so yeah

[John Hancock]

That was a fair size cavity on a large tree which what looked like an open crown to be fair. No excuses for their working methods though – unforgivable.

 

I don’t agree to that poor tree being made an example of just for public entertainment. The amount of crown raising that took place would render it unstable now anyway.

 

Least it looks like it was done during the summer – Better chance of compartmentalising.

But he had a letter of comdemnation on headed paper and everything.....

 

I thought I'd seen a few things in my life, but I seem to been brought up in a convent, 'cos that takes the biscuit!

i actually felt a bit sorry for the old boy...i think he was more ignorant than roguish

 

That what i thought- the guy at the end who was actually climbing actually seemed to think what they were doing was ok- no wheelspins and anger from them etc etc.

[Tree Man Tom]

After all the hype, it wast really worth waiting for.

"It's a laurel" !!! Yeah, crap tho...

[Mesterh]

They were all scum bag blaggers imo, not being able to do the work is one thing but blagging customers is something I really hate

Yes, they really didn't think they had done any thing wrong, and the guy doing the cutting wanted learn how to do the job.

 

I'm going to start doing some of those "tree condemnation" letters!! I didn't know I could do that

[tommer9]

I was expecting to see greenhouses crushed and cars written off tbh, and i was surprised at the amount of gear they had for "rogue traders". Expected shorts and flip-flops!

[Bushbaby]

what self respecting tree surgeon would drive a three door freelander?!
