There’s no ‘possible’ about it

Bump, must be more of you out there I’m sure

You have to wonder what it is the banks know that we don’t if they are offering better deals on a 5 year mortgage than a 2 year one Homeowners rush to five-year mortgages as rates fall below two-year deals APPLE.NEWS Interest rates are expected to soar in 2023

There’s also some people who just hate the idea of giving something away for free and will quite happily go out of their way to keep something for themselves even if it actually ends up costing them more

even for a big company who processes and sells their timber, at what point does it become more profitable to just give it away for free? If you’re faced with an hour long round trip back to your yard, plus the possibility that you’re leaving a couple guys on site with not much to do as they have no vehicle to chip into or load with wood…well that also makes giving it away for free more attractive

Don’t know the answer to that one

I’ve now removed trigger from the conversion so the adults can carry on

Yes, that will become a tree of its own with its own root system

Cherry trees are reknowned for sending up suckers. Felling the tree will only encourage more../it’s the trees last ditch attempt at surviving. Grinding out the root isn’t going to stop that unless you chased out every single lateral root which likely covers most of your mothers garden. did your mothers watering increase the growth of the suckers and feeder roots? Of course, plants need water so of course they are going to benefit from it. is the tree surgeon blaming your mum a legitimate reason? Well it’s a bit over the top, might have been better to admit that removing the stump won’t necessarily stop suckering. good advice in this thread about using roundup. Might take a few hits but will eventually do the job. aside from that I’m not sure what you’re trying to achieve by demonising the tree surgeons who carried out the removal. I doubt they are going to jail. There’s a slim outside chance that they might have to run away and join the foreign legion, but quite unlikely

Because the government have a duty to provide free transport for kids. If you choose to send your kid to a school that’s outside of the catchment then the cost is on you. So it’s perhaps these busses that have been cancelled. Not saying it’s ok

Surely these are busses that ferry kids to schools out of the catchment area though?

Yep I appreciate that’s a bit different

There’s a local bus service in our village. Never seen more than 3 people on it. I’d imagine it’s a similar story throughout the country. It’s surely a service that is haemorrhaging money. expect a lot more stuff to disappear over the next few years

Cheaper yes, but less economical surely?

Not sure there necessarily is an answer to your question. People tend to use what they prefer to use. I would say though that with Ddrt there is less of a tendency to set and work from the same anchor that you set from the ground. Its more likely for someone on Ddrt to setting for a half decent throwline shot to get them into the main(climbable) part of the crown, often settling for a large limb, as a pose to an SRT climber who might want to get a suitable anchor from the get go.

It will be a long drawn out and tiring 3 days. sorry to spoil the surprise 😀

I’ll be there Friday and Saturday. Bringing my son on a little jolly

Bit of a poor effort. Seen better ones

Nope double sided male version for men who Pee standing up, like this one

Not used the new model but it’s completely different to the original Robin. incidentally I still have a Robin. Been in the shop a few times over the years but it’s still the best hedge cutter out there IMO

But that’s the only time the bottom half of his 30m climbing rope gets out of the bag for a breather

Echo is a fine choice for hedge cutters

So glad i'll never have to do one of those again.
