  1. Well it is really. People will be getting prices wrong, and climbers will be in a hurry rushing to get work done as a result. This is probably one of the biggest causes of accidents at work.
  2. Actually, reading it a second time its not funny at all. Originally I thought it said 'where the climber hurt you'
  3. I did have to laugh at this one
  4. I've heard of a number of fabricators who made arb bodies or similar as one offs and then it went on to become their main source of income.
  5. Thats all I need ?
  6. Oh, the public liabilty isn't a legal requirement, but I would say the indemnity is a must
  7. you will need public liability and professional indemnity. The latter covers you in the event of an error in your survey
  8. I dunno, I actually like the look of it
  9. Personally I may have paid over the odds for a Mercedes pickup, but now knowing that it was just a Navara under the bonnet, that could only go 60mph just to make it even worse.
  10. Cant understand why it even existed in the first place.
  11. It won’t work for you as you hope mate
  12. Just call them up Craig. It will he in the back of your mind the whole way through the job if you don’t. Unneeded extra stress
  13. If it’s max power you’re looking for take a look at the newest stihl
  14. I also wouldn’t be keen to be chasing harder work, even if you’re fit now, your body won’t thank you down the line. There’s a lot to be said for lazyness ?
  15. We now have over 1400 sites available throughout the uk for tipping wood chips and timber
  16. stein 2001, collection, and pictures of the queen only
  17. fearsome looking indeed. Wouldn't be any getting away from that if you got snagged up!
  18. Thinking of selling my bollard if you're anywhere near to Suffolk
  19. You never get to hear too much about these things. Theres always at least a couple people go through chippers per year in the states.
  20. Did you know that 4 in 10 arborists are struggling to hire arboriculturalists according to a new UK Government report? More than 40 per cent said that there are simply not enough people applying for jobs. This shortage of workers is placing pressure on arborists and making it difficult for them to maintain and grow their business. But why does this shortage exist? It’s not because of a lack of workers in the UK. In fact, there are millions of people who are underemployed (unable to find full-time work or jobs that make full use of their abilities) and more than 20% of UK employees earn less than a Living Wage. At Yuno, we believe the answer lies in a knowledge gap. When we asked arborists recently why they thought people weren’t applying they said “many people simply don’t know that this industry and these jobs exist!”. And when we asked people affected by underemployment about their situation they said, “I don’t know what to do, I’m not sure what options are out there”. We are working to bridge this knowledge gap through the Yuno app. The app tests potential employee’s attitude and aptitude based on their personality, interests, and values. These results are then compared with employers and if there is a match, we facilitate a connection. The Yuno app will help arborists access a bigger pool of workers and crucially will help them find workers who are a good team fit which will reduce the chance of them leaving after learning arboriculturist skills. It’s a bit like when a team member refers one of their friends! We are currently working with some arborists and are looking for more to join our mission to help underemployed people into jobs with progression. If you want to take part or learn more please reach out via email [email protected], Twitter @yuno_link or at www.yuno.link. We look forward to hearing from you! Lorenz Fischer, Founder of Yuno
  21. Looks like Oak to me. Great firewood, but performs at its best when mixed with something faster burning in my experience
  22. Once worked for a guy who was obviously minted. He was a bit cagey when I asked him what he did for a living.....sold batteries for sex toys
  23. If it’s anything like the other jeeps I wouldn’t want the fuel bill
  24. Would like to see how that ended
