    Do you have any figures to support this?? I know petrol is now cheaper than diesel (unlike in the past) but don't petrols use far more fuel??

    How very disappointing I have not referred to science once I speak from my personal experience and and that of those I have met, along with listing to many health experts on the radio. Its pretty pathetic how many one here resort to nonsense and insult rather than try and build any sort coherent argument.

    If you were talking about people in their 60's I would maybe agree to some extent, but 40's is just ridicules, I know plenty of climber who quit before 40 There are professional footballers in their 40's. The thing is IME the people who say "I'm getting to old for this lark" are unhealthy, they over eat (usually the wrong food) over drink (alcohol is basically poison) and generally don't take good care of themselves. Many people treat the bodies with contempt, as you age I agree that your body will not cope as well with a abuse, plus years of abuse catch up with you. I'm fortunate to have been surrounded by a great many very active, very fit and healthy older people, I chose like them not to accept the myth that you body falls apart once you hit 45. As for your analogy

    Rubbish, a crown lift on that Beech will DRAMATICALLY increase the light reaching that lawn. My advice to the owner would be move, I will never understand people buying a property with a large, mature, protected tree, if they don't like it

    Presumably you feel employed climbers are in the same boat? So you see running your own firm is the only option?? I've not been employed since I was 19, I like self-employment.(well I guess I'm technically employed now by my limited Co, but you know what I mean ) I had an interesting discussion with a customer this week regarding age, he's 72, just been treated for very aggressive prostate cancer, he's never stopped and is greatly saddened to see all his contemporaries adopt your attitude towards life and getting older, they mostly eat and drink to much, do to little and then blame the failure of their bodies on age, its ridiculous. There is no reason why a freelance climber cannot make a good living and they can also diversify into other work not just climbing, its a very real career choice IMO and one I sometimes wonder if I should have stuck with.

    Presumably it has many and stops at the appropriate one for the log length you set.

    I'm a little confused by what you say about the buds? Normally the buds are formed as the old leaves are shed, they then swell in the spring before opening. It seems very strange for it to from buds twice over the 2 years and them never open? Could the buds you see be the same dead buds remming for 2 years?

    You simply state "No paypal" or "Cash on collection only" on the listing, if they pay by paypal simply refund them immediately. Proper buys will understand if you explain how exposed paypal leaves the seller, IME.

    NEVER accept paypal, they simply have to make up an excuse and get their money straight back:thumbdown:

    Jon, you seem to be taking this very personally, all that has been said is that some would prefer it if you just posted in one thread rather than starting a new one each time you post. I really don't know where I have insulted you or been rude. Also I have told you several times I'm not attending the show and I don't eat chips, but thank you for the kind offer

    Fair enough:001_smile: It came across to me as a threat to any dissenting voice, which to me is bullying, which I hate.
