  1. I just finished a lovely Speyside malt called Longmore. Excellent it was.
  2. Comes in a fancy bottle too!
  3. Lovely stuff! Bit on the sweet side, but very nice.
  4. Ok - we have a date set for this seminar: Friday 23rd October. I will post full details about venue and costs here in the next few days.
  5. Size categories are often used in large-scale local authority surveys. There is no recognised standard, the categories used should be fully explained in the survey contract documents. Sometimes they are based on stem diameter, or height, or crown spread, or foliage density, or a combination of all those!
  6. Thanks for this David - I look forward to having a read. I have booked on to a QTRA course in October to re-visit it since I last attended in 2010 - I'm looking forward to it.
  7. Nice one. It's a new one to me!
  8. Could it be Alder Buckthorn?
  9. Oh dear. Sounds like you need a holiday or some more staff.
  10. Oh no, I've been putting the wrong date on all my cheques then!
  11. Is this the one that gives you heights on one side of the vertical line, and distances from the tree in 5m increments on the other? I know someone who would probably buy that.
  12. Just as well the tree owner was in when he turned up to do the work! I wonder how far the LPA would have got with enforcement action if he had carried on oblivious considering they had not not served the TPO to the s.211 agent. Not far you would hope.
  13. Look like Polyporus squammosus to me.
  14. I know what you mean, BUT not everyone reads all the relevant threads and new members won't have seen them. Besides, it's often a case of semantics rather than not actually knowing the difference between the two processes.
  15. Verging on the pedantic there! Surely "allow the notified works to proceed" is consenting to them!
  16. Yes! ...but mostly I write it but no one asks me to actually come to site. I never understand why planning conditions aren't more specific about arboricultural supervision.
  17. Thanks very much Mr H. I doubted myself as it's not listed as common on Sweet Chestnut.
  18. Spotted these at the base of a semi-mature Sweet Chestnut. My excuse for asking is that I am stuck at home and my fungi books are at the office Perhaps Collybia fusipes?
  19. Perhaps, but that's something you can sort out between yourselves via PM/phone/whatever without dragging the rest of us along with. I'm not taking sides, I'm just politely requesting that you both stay on topic.
