Never done any apps by e-mail, but out of curisity, how would you submit a plan on the form? -
As for the saw, it sounds like you had another to compare to, so take it back, its the shops problem. They will sort it.

From the point of someone who has just read this thread from the beginning, as a result of said simple rules being broken by unknown individuals, half of the posts on the thred dont make any sense. Shame really.

Around us, they go by date on the application, but you are not allowed to pre date the application -
If he gets his status, he might be giving me a call then!

So therefore, frank could advertise as a AAAC and then sub cowboys to carry out the works?

Excellent post Tom:thumbup1:

Only the lord knows hwat goes on between those ears. Pip is, as she looks, a soppy mutt:biggrin:

I think the spaniel looks like its waiting for its next command from its owner. The rotty looks like it will never obay a command from anyone, and is thinking if i put a happy smilie face on, i might get a biscuit!

Where is Otterburn exactly?

Oh, forgot to say Rhys, in my opinion, those folding ladders never look that strong to me, maybe because im a fat lad, but i always suspect the nuckles are going to give way:scared1:
-
Just did a quick search for the type i use and these are very similar. combination ladders zarges skymaster Hailo Youngman 100 and 3 way Mine are actually youngman "industrial 200" 3 way and i think they are about 8 feet closed up. They will go to gutter height of a normal house in ladder mode and its suprising how high you can reach in step mode. Think they were £150 new. They are the only set of ladders i have, are about 5 years old and get taken out to 90% of jobs. Lasted very well, but getting tired now. Just my ten.

Had another today, or should i say this is "todays" cheeky customer; Little rowan out, £80 down to the ground. Did said works, customer came out and this was the conversation; "Oh, that didnt take long, who does the check need making out to?" "It was £80 wasnt it?" Told her the mane and confirmed the price "ok, Ill go and get a check for you" "Oh, actually, while you are here, could you just cut that elder back thats hanging over the fence from the farmers field?" "Sure Mrs H, it wont take me long while im here. I dare say Ill have it done by the time the kettle has boiled. Ill have strong coffee with one sugar"! Got my £80 cheque, a nice coffee and a couple of bourbons

Its NPTC tickets i have, and quote the NPTC Qualified Workforce logo. Does it really matter who the training was done by? Training dont mean jack anyway, experience is much more valuable.
-
So, could we assume you would be able to offer superior training to these "loads" of colleges?
-
Cant think of the last job i did when that one didnt come out:sneaky2: Seems strange how there has been an increase in this type of attitude since the "recession" started:cursing:

Whats a real hedge cutter out of interest? No, no, no! You miss quote me! A real hedge cutter is a stihl HS81r A real hedge trimmer is a robin(no longer available unfortunately) or Echo HC331
-
In my opinion, if you are after a trimmer, there are much better machines out there than Stihl. If you want to make a nice tidy job on privet, tight trimmed conifer etc, i would steer well clear. If you are not bothered about finish, get a stihl cutter, it will savage a thorn hedge but thats about it. It will require spending more money though if you get a REAL hedge trimmer.
-
In all fairness, these saws are still relatively new, and you will struggle to find a totally "dead" one at this stage. If you do get to the point you want to sell it, i would gladly buy it from you as a project. Good luck with your search, but remember me if you do decide to part with it:thumbup1:
-
That made me laugh! Then again, ive been on the end of stupid requests from customers too:001_rolleyes:
-
I have been trying to get log suppliers to change over to selling by bulk for some time now. Unfortunately, many traders find it "easier" to sell in what they believe the customer understands. The first hirdle is to educate customers, and get them to understand that buying by "load" or "ton bag" etc is leaving them open to "variations" shall we say.

I thought BTS was asking about a Beech?

So, can we now agree;

Ok then Darr, fair enough. Guess we better stop the derail of your thread, so, I accept, we were cruising past and thought it would be a good wind. Good job i had the climbing bag with me, eh? But, this does sound like a challenge; Is it because YOU couldnt get your rope into the tree for an hour? No worries, i recon i can get a high anchor quicker than you as my Kleins have long gaffs on at the moment, and i just sharpened them. Watch this space for more of mighty franks horror pictures
