joe public walking into cordoned off areas

[Gray git]

Had a licra clad push iron fool dodge inside our Tm area to avoid stopping at the red light, unfortunately the lights were hold reds as I was dropping a tree right across both lanes ( quiet back) rd. Luckily for all I spotted him and scared the poo out of him by yelling all forms of profanity at him! And left him in no dought what he had done wrong and what could have happened, not sure who was shaking more him from the telling or me from giving it!

we had an old lady today walk round the barriers around the little coned walk way we had set out and walk down the white line of a busy road not a care in the world while we were chipping we shouted her to watch out as there was a car driving right behind her she just smiled and cracked on down the road gobsmacked is an understatement

I have acquired six nice bright yellow gas board barriers today, legally too

 

Should stop rogue cyclists penetrating the work zone

[penfold]

You reckon dean? they'll just get off and move them out of the way!

Seems this is a universal problem, public are completely stupid and seem to be illiterate or need glasses! especially the ones with babies in buggies that are on mobile phones!!! I leave branches strategically placed so they 'cant' step into danger zone, and just have someone who is soley responsible for keeping area safe as well as the barrier tape etc.

you left out the bit where you cocked back the sign and went for a permanent imprint on their face lol

Man this problems global, while doing a clear fell we had tape and two sets of signs and vehicles blocking a road and the council had signs informing of the felling. Big hangers were in some trees and some woman had to walk through all of that plus over two trees we had felled to tell us we were ruining her favourite walk. When we told her it was dangerous to be there she replies "ive done alot of gardening im well aware of the risks". WTF?
