  1. Have you a link? What did he miss? Just because he was "not competent" does not mean all aren't. I recall another case where "experienced" foresters casting an eye over the trees was considered adequate.
  2. You need to check your insurance covers you for selling advice. Most policies these days have at least £500K "Professional indemnity", so provided you make it clear you are only carrying out a pretty basic inspection with clear parameters and no guarantee beyond this, I would have thought you would be on safe ground.
  3. Its a "point of view" or an "opinion" to which we are all equally entitled I respect your right to hold a different one to me and expect the same in return
  4. I feel exactly the same Tim. I think the growing tendency toward childlessness plays a part in the lack of patriotism. The fact that many European leaders are childless is very worrying, IMO.
  5. Checking the chip quality should give a good indication of blade sharpness. When I used to fun a small Timber Wolf (well it was actually an Entec, but same thing) I would stick a 5" log in and chip the end off it, then reverse it out. If the end has a pretty clean almost "planed" finish, the blades are nice and sharp, if its rough and torn looking, its time to change the blades.
  6. Well done Felix, Top man!!!
  7. Obviously he is simply pointing out there is not access for an arctic
  8. Is there a gap between the rollers? Probably a buildup of crap stoping the top roller from fully dropping.
  9. Did you notice the date of the article?
  10. I think you would be better trying to use the DIN plate or very close linkage. The ones I've seen on standard linkage stick out a ridiculous distance, IMO. You will also need a reverse gearbox.
  11. I think the reasoning behind this is that houses should be built with foundations that will withstand the affect of trees growing near them.
  12. Or buying booze and getting your food free from the food bank I'm pretty sure there are no "booze banks"
  13. I did not say addicted, I drink plenty and still eat plenty But at least I buy my own
  14. Having watched people on benefits justify £40 per week on fags and beer, when they cannot pay the rent that keeps the roof over their children's heads, I'm not convinced all those attending food banks actually need them. I fear its a case of "if you build it, they will come".
  15. Very sad indeed, my thoughts are with all those affected.
  16. I think you need to get back to school and this time try to stay awake in the maths lessons
  17. Many of these scumbags are very good at what they do. When you are straight honest person its very difficult to think like a crook and protect your gear 24/7. I had 2 saws and some hedge cutters go from a garden we were working in.
  18. Phew!!! Thats that sorted then .
  19. This debate comes up every year and always reminds me of a farm we went to when I first started on line clearance 20+ years ago. The farm was called Plane Tree Farm. We asked why the name and the lady of the house said it was named after the Plane tree and pointed at a large Ash. We pointed out it was an Ash, not a Plane. No, no, we were wrong, it was definitely a Plane tree, as in the spring when all the other trees were in leaf, it was plane and come autumn when all the other trees still had their leaves, it lost its early and became plane again
  20. Give it 5 years.
