I disagree. Nomenclature is a great thing for increasing an arborists knowledge of trees and their likely associations with the wider environment. Irrespective of the 'Johnny foreigner importation of plants' angle, nomencalture serves to inform discussion and the transfer of knowledge of plants and their pests and diseases, on a world-wide basis. The yanks call plane trees 'Sycamores'. That's different to our sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) - Acer tree with leaves that look like a bit like plane leaves. Plane trees and sycamores are two very different beasts and pose very different management challenges. Rule Science, Speak Gaelic.

I would look to learn ten a week. This is good book to use: I'd start with trees that I could already identify. Go and find your first ten with some felcos in your pocket and a camera. Write down their common and botanical names. Make notes on their habit, leaf size, bark etc. Practice for a self moderated test next week. Next week another ten. etc...

I've found that it's prudent to price high when dealing with insurance companies. Yin and Yang and that.

Haunted victorian pencil. Keep your eyes on Steve Bannon's puppies. Very similar rhetoric in Alexander boris de pfeffel johnson's spiel about creating powerhouses and galvanising destitute working towns, as there is/was in the same shallow lies that the tango-faced wankpuffin, Trump, peddled. Bannon was the Chief Strategist in Trumps early whitehouse days, it seems that he's a bit of a bastard. It also seems like he's pulling the strings: Ever get the feeling you're getting mugged off?

Why do you say that? Aye, been a long two days. I resent the landed gentry having all the land they have. I should have made it clear that they were two seperate things. Will quit while behind.

Dianne Abbott seems quiet of late. It's as if the media are pushing an agenda when it suits them. It'd be annoying if we found out that we're being played against each other to keep them in their stolen seats of power. If you work for something then you deserve what you get.

I thought they just had it in for people less fortunate than themselves.

Can we have a 'Is there going to be a war to distract us from our leaders?' thread?

What could possibly go right?

1) Work out how much you need to make per day to cover costs of vehicle insurance, kit, yard, consumables etc. 2) Work out how long you reckon it will take - I like to pay myself a certain amount per hour on jobs (this includes time taken quoting, writing reports etc). If it looks like it might take a bit longer then price accordingly. 4) Who do you know with the right kit for the job? 5) I then take into account labour costs, all subbies are on day rates so they get paid their whack whenever we finish. I aim for job and knock when contracting. 6) Profit, treat your business as another person, it needs a salary too. 7) Luck, everyone needs a little bit of luck.

This ^. If you decide to get an extra hand in and bash out the job in a third of a time then people can get tight.
