but then he is ginger and rather daft

[Paul Barton]

I heard that too - quite funny to have our industry being chatted about on the radio.

 

To be fair on the guy interviewed, he said it was possible to do the training in 3 weeks but that it takes much longer to be any good. When you think that you could probably cram in a few NPTC tickets and training in 3 weeks and pretend you are a tree surgeon he is probably not far wrong. He did an ok job at telling it how it is though.

 

The interview was at about 5.25pm this evening, so about 25 mins in to the show.
