  1. It baffles me that they're increasing N.I. by 10% and hitting the little folk. They could tax the super-rich and corporations properly instead. There's also that £350 million a week that the bus said would go to the NHS, where's that? Margaret Thatcher rising from her grave | The Daily Mash WWW.THEDAILYMASH.CO.UK MARGARET Thatcher is rising from her grave in horror at Boris Johnson’s social care tax rises, senior Conservatives believe.
  2. Apart I'm not sure about the dinghies being as big a problem as they're made out to be and I'm not sure I agree with the last bit, but otherwise I couldn't agree more.
  3. Leave it to it, it will likely regrow in spring. Oaks are pretty resilient.
  4. Ideally you want someone who is NQF level 5+, has a PTI qualification, and appropriate PI insurance, professional membership of AA, ISA or ICF would also stand them in good stead. The biggest foreseeable issue is the lack of access to observe all aspects of the tree. I wouldn't write a report on a tree I couldn't see fully. Take up the offer on this thread, at least then you know where you stand. PM me if you get stuck, I'm heading to Kent next week and will be stopping off in Melton Mowbray on the way down, Good luck.

  7. I was a chef for a few years, it was then that I first saw the mark-up on agency staff. It is annoying I suppose. How does a one armed man have a 105% pick rate?
  8. Bravo. You should make that your stock reply.
  9. Sounds arduous. We could and should have negotiated this a long time before now.
  10. Taking back control: UK promises big data law shake-up... while also keeping the EU happy, of course. What could go wrong? • The Register WWW.THEREGISTER.COM New Information Commissioner to be given licence to promote 'innovation and growth'
  11. LA's have been known to fill positions through an agency. If they offer a tree inspector 40K, how much are they paying the agency on top?

  14. I have no idea mate.
  15. I think you've misinterpreted things. Re-read the first post and those following and see if you form a different opinion.
  16. RIP Sean Lock, he was funny.
  17. True enough. There should be some provision on site I suppose, I'm not sure how that would/should work though. I've worked with a few lasses in Arb, there's never been any problem with them jumping in the truck and going somewhere clean if they need to. The rest of the time they shit in the back of the truck with the rest of us.
  18. Everyone slashes in the back of the van. Site rules. Makes for better woodchip too.
