  1. Do you think you could put up some sort of warning on this thread i just opened it and now feel a little dirty and the wife thinks i'm gay!
  2. What makes you think that? If they were TPO'd that cutting is not BS3998. If its a conservation area they could only stop it happening by putting on a TPO,They cannot vet applications to do work.
  3. I could be wrong, but it looks to me that they have been topped in the past,in which case retopping/pollarding is the only way to go,IMO
  4. That makes a lot of sense,think you might be on to something there.

    MS 650 or 660

    I would say yes,but i would go for the 660.When they were the 066 and the 064 the 064 had smaller bearings in the bottom end,don't know about the new ones,i have a 066 great saw imo.
  6. I could not think of any thing worse than "dwindling supplies of beaver" lol
  7. Butlins Scegness wasn't it,mainly playing bingo i think.
  8. Should push up fire wood sales,ever cloud and all that. Smart people don't see problems just opportunities:icon14:
  9. I only wear light lacy items.

    Climbing

    Don't you mean OUR loot!
  15. That is right! you have make things happen.Life is not a spectator sport,it really pee's me of when people tell me how lucky i've been,you make your own luck.
  16. This more about duty of care,ie if you use subies or employ a climber,if it's your job,your firm and your the climber, they are less interested.Same goes for climbing groundie,i think its more important to have a rope which will reach the floor,which i don't think is in the GGCP.
  17. I was told,by someone in the know, that one of the main reasons illegal immigrants come to the UK,rather than the rest of Europe,is the fact that our police are not armed. looks like you had a good holiday Steve, i have family over in California, and hope to out some time soon.
  18. I'm not sure it was averted, my insurance went from £2000 to £6500,:cussing:i rang round and there no companies taking on new clients.The following year i rang round found there were more companies available and cheaper quotes,so i was all set to change companies,but when my renewal came though it was just less than the other quote so i staid put.Now that sounds like market forces to me?,but i could be wrong.
  19. Burn or compost, if its clippings a shredder will only speed up you composting,at a cost.
  20. Thanks for your input,if a way could found to draw all the professionals in our industry together in away that was financially viable for the little firms,we could try to leave the cowboys out in the cold,which could only be a good thing for everyone.
  21. The annoying thing about this is that a vehicle produces more Co2 being built than it will produces in all its working life.So the most environmentally frendly thing we can do is run our old motors for as long as we can.
