To Elliot, thanks for your kind words, i appreciate it . Easy lift, hello to you, please send some sunshine my way if possible, not jealous AT ALL Matty....with pleasure...only problem is my boyfriend would go insane. you best grab the Stihl calender for some optical pleasure ha haa! Gnarlyoak, thanks for your post, indeed the owd elbow has come out a fair few times in my career! what you said kind of echo's what the guys I have worked with say, that girlys work damn hard, and I have, my knees are buggered for it though! also could just do with being a bit taller, at 5ft 4 it's kind of funny watching me try to get in a mewp/high sided trailer/tractor etc etc. plus side is the crew just pick me up and dump me where I need to be

Just seen the pic. I treat it the same as nuisance phone calls. Just turn off and wouldn't buy it. same goes for pay day loans and casino ads and bingo ads etc etc etc. government should stop it and we would all be happier. well quite a few of us.

Hi all, i have worked in forestry/tree surgery for the past 12 years and dont find the naked ladies a problem, its just what to expect, sex sells! What i do wish is that the ladies who do this a job would get the chance to model if they want to (in appropriate ppe ) to really just squash the stereotype that all female workers are just and i quote "lesbian/out to prove a point/minging/clearly just in in because she is doing certain "favours" for the boss" i have had it all when actually the majority of people on here seem very supportive of women in the industry. would be nice to show our faces sometimes so thanks to you all who, as *female arb* said "big up the female arborists" much appreciated:thumbup:

 

Hi

 

Good post & agree entirely, its the job that counts & I have great respect for all who do this full time, because its hard work.

 

But then if it was easy, it wouldn't give the reward or satisfaction of a difficult job well done.

 

oh & welcome, theres some good people here & a wealth of knowledge.
