When felling dead or dying trees subject to a TPO obviously a replacement tree is required, but can the TO insist on more than one replacement? I know that when wanting to fell TPO'd trees that are not dead the council may ask for additional replacements in mitigation for allow the felling of a viable tree, but I would have thought trees lost naturally should only require one replacement per tree. Any thoughts please?

I just did not understand why you had an issue with it not having a decomp button if its easy to start?
-
No. I reckon most know its not great, but if the client want "a shorter tree" what do you do? Your argument is a bit like saying most GP's don't know being fat is bad for you, because most of their patients are fat. The GP's can tell them that being fat is unhealthy till the cows come home, but it won't make it happen. IMO.

And?

I never had any training, I watched others and pretty much taught myself. I've only ever payed for an assessment. How stupid does some one need to be to not know what a huge free falling limb would do to a building?

A newly qualified guy should be slow, not a moron, IMO.

Just makes me think that pretty much everything is a joke. I really am past caring, I'm only looking out for me and mine, everyone else is on their own.

I can genuinely say I never made mistakes like that. Why would you?

FFS!! what a cock!!!

I had a feeling you'd get arsie, thats a shame. If you think being a "full man" is defined by size thats real sad. I'm sorry I touched a nerve, it was not my intension, I was simply offering a different view.

Can't say I agree with that. When your bigger you tend to loose flexibility and obviously weight more. Yesterday I was taking the top out of a very dead leaning HC over a green house, I was very glad I was not heavier and actually wished I was a bit lighter. Also your joints are make out of the very same stuff as a 6stone lady, who do you reckons is more likely to need new hips etc, in the years to come? Have you notice how big dogs never live as long as small ones and the littleuns backends don't go. All the fit older people I know have always been pretty lean. Obviously these are only my personal musings, no offence intended

66 hands down my favourite!!! What a cracking saw!!, mines a 1999 model, bought new, never missed a beat and as strong as ever! For many years I only used my 020 and 66,did every thing I needed. In recent years I've had a 460, which is a good saw, but last few weeks I've had the 66 out due to a bust clutch spring on the 460. My oh my, what a saw the 66 is. I'll not be leaving it behind in future when there is any decent timber to be cut!! The 66 never fails to put a smile on my face

I remember when I first started as a goundie on £30 a day self-employed, I ran a 2cv6 to get to work. I remember the lads stopping at the butty van on the way to site. I genuinely could not afford a bacon bap. I'd have £3 and that was my petrol money for the car for a week. I'd take my saw home full (gaffers fuel) so I could cut fire wood in the evening. -

I was 25 in 1994, IMO, the big difference is expectation. We did not expect the luxuries people today feel are their right. -
Sweet!!!

I once worked with a lad, I was subby climbing, he was grounding. While doing the final clear up he was shovelling up sawdust into a wheelbarrow, but the barrow was few feet from where he was shovelling, so he kept dropping bits where I had swept. Sarcastically I said "why don't you move the barrow a bit further away".......................................HE DID!!! I was speechless Apparently he had previously worked in a pot-noodle factory, he held the pot while two other people put different things in the pot, he was replaced by a table.
