I think it was a TP that the Kommune delivered to my mate for the Oslo job. I didn’t hear good reports back.

Same with the vehicles. Elctric cars everywhere, superb charging network and there “used” to be concessions for el car owners. Such as zero vat, use of buss and taxi lanes etc. they have slowly relinquished those now. My own thought on this…. In order to compensate for the huge amount of fossil fuels the Norwegian Industries (Oil/gas) require to refine they have such green initiatives to reduce the Carbon Footprint.

Oslo Kommune has very green initiatives. Probably written by people with no knowledge of practical applications. For example, the contract went out for the Oslo Kommune tree contract. The city was split east and west. The tender and eventual winner was to use all electric tools for works on the trees. Including the chippers and larger chip trucks. Electric powered 7.5 ton tippers didn’t exist at that time. The tech wasn’t there on the batteries. Chippers were next to useless. I guess they were trying to attain the highest level of Greenism and worked back from there with feasible options.

It is the irony I don’t get. A generator was on site AFAIK to charge the huge 360.

A mate of mine won an emergency bid for work within Oslo from the kommune. Pushed through and due to start the following Monday. They turned up and were told it was a green site, my mate had no electric saws. The kommune went and bought an array of electric saws and a couple of hours later they started. The larger saws ran out after 6or 7 rings in a large stem. Work stopped. The irony is they needed the work done to a timeframe. The solution was to use an Elctric powered 360 to carry everything off site and then use the traditional 2 stroke and diesel chipper to complete the work. The Kommune had even got them an electric chipper which ran out sharpish. Totally bonkers box ticking exercise for the Greenists who make the rules. Job done, matey got paid and went home with a load of electric saws that he hardly ever uses.

Damn, I didn’t think of that link. The answer I was looking for was Thai food. I guess I will have to double the number of points I am giving out 😜

That’s a random question. Why do you ask? No, I don’t have hens. But a lot of people here have them. Eggs are fairly expensive but pretty low quality IMO. From the supermarket. The eggs we get from friends are fantastic.

Advice on trees that have been aggressively pollarded
Rich Rule replied to Hobbittree's topic in Trees and the Law
They are pollards that look to be managed regularly. The majority of the cuts are small. Usually implying that they have only removed 1 or 2 years of regrowth. i think you are over reacting somewhat but at least you are trying to get advice so you are informed. Not all members of the public do so before jumping to conclusions. -

After a bit of searching go it would appear it isn’t illegal but not necessary ethical. Seems to change depending on the area or the FAO. I know in the North East if you applied for a .17hmr specified for Fox control trip it would be knocked back. At least in Teeside it was. .17hmr for foxes | The Stalking Directory WWW.THESTALKINGDIRECTORY.CO.UK I understand that here in Essex they don't deem the .17hmr suitable for foxes & that you can't get it on your...

I had a change of FAO whilst I lived in London. On renewal, he asked why I needed a .223 as well as a .17hmr on my ticket? I replied for Fox control. He then started to lecture me that a .17hmr was perfectly good round for foxes. I replied that I am sure it is but as you well know it is illegal to use for culling foxes in England. I think he was either clueless or testing me. No drama I moved to Norway the year later.

Advice needed on how to remove a large uprooted tree base from site.
Rich Rule replied to handymidi's topic in General chat
I believe it is called “the Red Button Effect” Whatever you do, DO NOT TOUCH THE RED BUTTON.
