Dangerous trees in France...

[normandylumberjack]

Anglo info, this is a current thread on the Normandy site AngloINFO Normandy: Discussions - Wanted someone who is Insured and capable of felling and cutting trees.Normandy, France

 

Very typical of what we have to deal with here, "will you do it for half the wood?"

[Big Ben]

Love the way that a lot of ex pats want something for nothing. I always get the "we are on a tight budget". Prefer working for the French.

[normandylumberjack]

Or, "I would get the local farmer in to do it, but I don't speak French" I think i will pull my ads with AI soon.

[Ty Korrigan]

I pulled our paid advertising deal after 2 years on Anglo-Misinfo and put the same budget into the Yellow Pages covering Rennes instead.

Never looked back except to have a laugh at those stupid threads about "Where can I buy decent white sliced bread, cheddar or Marmite"...

Oh dear, it gets worse.

That poor chap, being so civil and polite in the face of such noxious posters.

So the Maire has stated that trees must not shed leaves that may fall on the road ? That trees may not cast shadows on the road as they may cause black ice ? That land owners are responsible for cutting branches that may interfere with overhead cables ?

 

WIND UP.

 

It is the communes responsibility for road side trees , except on route Nationale ( I believe) . They will trim the trees if they think fit .

 

French telecom or EDF are responsible for trimming branches near their cables.

I believe the tree pruning campaign was in the form of a polite letter sent around the area and nothing more. I for my part can see the issue with a glowering conifer hedge keeping the frost on the bend of a road. However, I do care much for the tone of this forum and so I shall refrain from further posting.

If you post bull s**t , that is what you get in reply.

 

Always stand up wind when spreading manure.

I notice you have only just joined the forum today, much like the other noxious posters who have had their posts removed previously joined the same day too. From your diction and grammar I deduce you are all one and the same. Your I.P address should confirm that if the moderators have anything about them.
