  1. It is what it is unfortunately
  2. Wouldn't surprise me, but that means theres a stack of people liable for fines posting stuff on social media!
  3. Yep standard. I have to pay £40 a year
  4. Well that’s that then 😂 Matt Hancock Has Resigned After Admitting Breaking Covid Rules During Alleged Affair APPLE.NEWS Matt Hancock has resigned as health secretary after admitting he broke coronavirus guidance during...
  5. Search Engine Optimisation. In other words making your site get to the top of google organically.
  6. Removed the link and banned the user anyway.....IP resolves to Brazil 😀
  7. As above, it looks like a rank and rent. 'SEO expert' makes a site targetting certain keywords, gets it to the top of google, then rents it out to a local company as a lead generator. Either that or its just a poorly made unfinished site and they forgot to change their numbers.
  8. Where to begin with this!! Looks like a rank and rent site to me.
  9. Slow down then so the groundsman can keep up.....rookie 😀
  10. I know nothing about milling, but I do know they use it for railway sleepers so I guess it must be up to that job at least.
  11. I dont care who doesnt like who, lets move on from the deragatory name calling and sly digs please, from all parties.
  12. Never heard of it at height before though. @David Humphries what you reckon?
  13. Pic of the chain please
  14. Here ya go
  15. This site will help you find a certified arborist in the states Find an Arborist WWW.TREESAREGOOD.ORG
  16. https://arbtalk.co.uk/classifieds/
  17. Photos would help. Its unlikely you'll kill it doing this (just look at the amount of old trees with numerous names carved in them etc), but any wounding to a tree does leave it open to pathogens. If you were going to kill it simply through the scarring you'd have to remove a whole section of the bark around the whole stem.
  18. A brand new bar and chain would be preferably. Zero pressure applied when cutting. Other than that, no magic tricks that I know of.
  19. Is it definately Beech?
  20. Yep, would often do that for a second anchor if needed
  21. I'd agree with that purely from my experience climbing them. They certainly feel more fragile to climb around in, and often have old wounds where they have shed large limbs.
  22. Hi Stephanie, Yep they can grow to be quite big trees. It does seem to be an odd choice of species given the area you describe.
  23. Because it performs better. Doesn't bind up as much as a prusik
  24. Stihl chains for me all the way. Sugihara have been the best bars for me but come at a premium. If not Sugi I would just be using Stihl bars.
  25. You may think that if you’re operating petrol-powered equipment, particularly in poorly ventilated spaces, that exposure to harmful hydrocarbons is largely unavoidable. Benzene is just one of the many hydrocarbons found in conventional pump fuel and exhaust emissions, often considered the substance most dangerous to human health. However, there is an alternative in the form of Aspen Alkylate petrol – switching to which can reduce benzene emissions by up to 108 times! The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) regulations advise against benzene exposure completely, but where this cannot be reasonably achieved, there are steps that can be taken to adequately control exposure as far as is reasonably practicable - and certainly below the workplace exposure limit (WEL) assigned for benzene of part per million (ppm) of air averaged over an 8-hour period. One way of doing this could be switching from traditional pump fuel to Aspen. An Alkylate petrol, Aspen is made using only the cleanest Alkylate components that occur when oil is refined. This process involves combining excess gases from the distillation of crude oil and from the cracking plant, resulting in a liquid alkylate. Once some additional components are mixed in, the result is a finished fuel which is significantly purer than traditional petrol, with content of harmful aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene and polyaromatics (PAH) close to zero. Being virtually free from benzene, as well as sulphur and many other harmful substances, using Aspen Alkylate petrol improves the health and performance of your equipment, the working conditions for the operator and significantly reduces the harmful impact your machinery makes on the environment. Aspen is also ethanol-free, which improves reliability, maintains engine performance and preserves the life of component parts which can be susceptible to failure when running on conventional pump fuel, especially if it has been left for any extended period of time in storage. Aspen is available in a range of unit sizes (5L, 25L, 60L and 200L) and in both pre-mixed 2-stroke and 4-stroke varieties.
