  1. No sorry?????? [ame] [/ame]
  2. I try to limit my carbs where I can, seems to help reduce my hypertension.
  3. What was the reason for not simply felling it???
  4. Nope, and for the umpteenth time, I don't eat chips Oh dear.
  5. "Morale of the men totally destroyed, by poo poo"
  6. Your easily impressed
  7. Where in Lancashire are you??
  8. The Eleven plus is still alive and well up here, my son who was top of his class at primary, he did not wish to take the 11+, many of his peers did. He went to the local comprehensive, his peers went to the grammar. He got 7 "A"stars plus other "A"s and a few "B"s. He achieved higher results than any of his peers. He's done maths, further maths, chemistry and physics at A level and is hoping to study maths at Warwick. You don't need to go to the grammar school to do well, its down to hard work
  9. Why did they not dig the bugger out???
  10. Thats no different to most Ash, Sycamore, Lime, Beech or pretty much any heavily reduced mature tree, as mentioned excellent habitat and easily managed with re-pollarding every few years. Personally I would not cut below the previous cuts, I'd leave a just a nub of the regrowth.
  11. I've heavily reduced 1000's, can't recall one that did not come back.
  12. Got to respect a gaffer who leads from the front, good for him!!!!!
  13. Having machines is like having animals. I remember many, many years ago I very reluctantly informed my farmer friend and neighbour that one of his cows was dead in the field, he took the news very well, I expressed my sorrow for his loss, his comment has stayed with me ever since, " not to worry Dave, when you have live stock, you will also have dead stock, that just life". I guess at least with our machines we can resurrect them if funds allow!!!
  14. Another 2 cube of beech for the pizza man.
  15. In this weather yes, but in October when is raining:sneaky2: I'm not so sure.
  16. Not to mention the fact that its becoming more and more clear that all low calorie sweeteners are probably responsible a great many cases of type 2 diabetic. Its pretty obvious really, you eat or drink something sweet, your body produces insulin to deal with the sugar, then there is no sugar, it can't be good for you.
  17. Not sure domestic customers or their neighbours would appreciate that
  18. The Italian who owns the pizzeria that burns my logs insist on kiln dried beech, 15" long logs.
  19. Most trees that are retained on development sites die within 20 years of the building work any way. Would be far better to insist on planting a high replacement ratio IMO.
  20. Me too, bring it on
  21. Do you not set your own rates???
  22. Or that more trees would be left alone if the owners knew they would always have the right to remove them in the future if they so wished.
  23. I have Beech going out steadily for a wood fired pizza oven.
  24. Its not a "possibility" its a reality, I've felled 1000's for this very reason.
