  1. Out of interest, what exactly is your definition of ‘toxic’ masculinity?
  2. You make some good points. My partners from Italy and just the other day commented that she’d never heard of so many ‘syndromes’ than she has since living in the uk. From ADHD to anxiety, companion dogs etc etc etc
  3. No they shouldn’t, Ian’s doing it because he’s a stand up boss obviously and cares and wants to go one step further for his employees, commendable I’d say.
  4. Good thread. I think lots of people think as above, and I also think it’s easy to blur the lines between stress and mental illness. I used to stress over everything when I was younger to the point that it made me feel depressed at times, the reality of it was that I was just too highly strung. That’s completely changed now to the point I don’t stress enough! good thread Ian. I did just take the liberty of running your post through my knobometer and I’m pleased to say you scored a low 7 out of 10 which is a huge improvement for you, keep up the yoga I say!
  5. Nice! Used a telegraph pole in the past
  6. You can put in the description that you won’t accept ash and discuss contents if anyone contacts you. That part of the transaction is entirely between you and them. Not sure about regulations regarding the movement of ash chips specifically though sorry
  7. It is for people who want to specify any species they can’t accept, such as potentially poisonous species like yew. This is mainly for people keeping livestock etc. In your case clean wood chips should be the correct category
  8. Hahaha, funnily enough I said the same thing to Simona
  9. You can post pics from the web version just as easily
  10. How many spaces left on the PTI please? I am considering it but not sure I can fit it in that month yet.
  11. Ginkgo biloba
  12. That wouldn't be the first time that happened. I know of a couple of instances where companies were taken over. The guys had no allegiance to the new owners and after setting up themselves approached some of the clients that they had built up a rapport with over time. I expect that happens across all industries though.

  15. You must be the only tree surgeon in the country who can say that 😂 good luck with the sale or finding a position, and also with your relocation
  16. Hand and arm injuries account for the largest percentage of chainsaw accidents. It’s no wonder chainsaw gloves are an essential piece of PPE equipment. They are also functional clothing that help you maintain a grip on the saw for maximum control and precision. ECHO is giving away chainsaw gloves, Suggested Retail Price £46.04, with selected new ECHO chainsaws. The ECHO gloves offer the perfect balance of cut resistance on the left glove and flexibility, say ECHO, with a unique design that allows your skin to breathe while maintaining grip and position when operating the chainsaw. They are tough and durable, offering Class 1, Type A rated protection and remain comfortable enough to wear all day. The gloves are approved to EN 381 Class 1 (20m/s) standard and offer protection against the chain coming loose, which could make contact with the left hand. You can take advantage of the offer while stocks last when you purchase a new, qualifying ECHO chainsaw from an authorised ECHO dealer between 21 June and 31 August 2021. ECHO chainsaws enjoy the highest reputation for quality and durability and ECHO is a world leader in the development of outdoor power tools for professional and domestic users. To claim your gloves, you must be 18 or over to qualify and hold any necessary chainsaw licence required for operation of the chainsaw purchased. *This promotion excludes the following ECHO chainsaws: CS-310ES, CS-2511TES, CS-2511TESC, DCS-1600, DCS-2500T, CS-58V4AH. Full terms and conditions apply and details of how to claim can be found at www.echo-tools.co.uk/promo. Further information can also be found through your ECHO dealer.
  17. Combination of very wet weather followed by a storm could well prove disaster for that tree....or it could topple over on a perfectly dry day. Chances are it will still be standing in 100 years though. We'd be rich if we could predict these things with any certainty.
  18. The other day I discovered I have an arbtalk Instagram page with 350 followers. Never posted a single thing on it 😂
