Using a chainsaw in a public place

[NorfolknGood]

Just out of interest how would an individual stand in the eyes of the law if he/her used a chainsaw without suitable PPE, without insurance or training in a public place with no warning signs etc?

So..... Friend asked abt some overhanging tree (  8m Robinia - Conservation Area) shading their back garden, so i said " just needs a crown lift an a bit of a tickle off the top ( silky)"  thinking, worth a couple of bottles of wine that... 

 

Visited yester, an saw this.......

Now i aint complaining over the loss of wine  ( oddly )  and it would only be done on a favour basis. As i am still in full time work...... but this bugger is there with his pal, done by midday and i managed to prise the cost out of said friend, crammed it all in back of a hi top van,  an buggered off.  Now those of us on here with the kit and the certification  and insurance and proper understanding but struggling to find work, are being undercut by this sort   ......  I will let you guess wot they charged  but nearest one to 400 squid wins a bottle of wine....

@Khriss I don’t get it, why did your mate get that fine figure of a man in to do the cutting for £400 when you would have done it as a favour?

Not saying you haven’t got a fine figure Khriss.

I thought that was fine pic of yourself, in your summer ppe....???

 

no really,,, it’s a salesman thing,, those guys/ some peeps just can sell ice to the eskimos at any price they like... and then say they will not add the vat if you pay cash..

...I worked twice for a few guys to help them  out as his climber had to leave mid job..his misses was in labour.. and had to dash off..  then the penny dropped... on the second day.. .... one of the guys looked like your pic ?
