  1. .....thought you would.
  2. I’ll try it on my ‘Hedge from Hell’ later this week.
  3. Thats a lovely job that, and a good idea to follow along with the old loppers.
  4. Come on Mick, there has to be more to it than just money – surely? If it was just about money I’d be working in a print factory, working every God-given hour and taking home 40k a year; either that or working as a gynaecologist.
  5. When I first started here in L/A land (10 years ago) we were on 12.5k a year (so money wasn’t the motivation). I guess at first it was the physically active work that attracted me and the desire to become a reasonable Arborist that motivated me. 10 years on the motivation is to provide the best tree care possible in the city and to produce an income which should/could ensure an in-house Arb team for future years.
  6. Morning all! 1st. day back after a week off - Oh-Joy!!!
  7. Happy Birthday Big-man!
  8. Lovely that mate....
  9. Savage weather? Oh-yeh, i know that - its when you wind the window down (a tiny bit) and the rain spatters in. God I hate that!
  10. .....Not very cool though, is it?
  11. Mate I know where your coming from! Even Goretex isn’t the final amswer. I have a jacket which I use for walking etc, cost me £170 and after a few washes has lost its waterproofness (is there such a word?) Apparently it needs re-washing in a special detergent as the goretex gets contaminated with dirt and looses its effectiveness. I do a lot of cycling and there are some excellent, fully breathable and waterproof jackets out there. All it needs is the manufacturer to re-brand a few jackets and expand their market.
  12. Welcome to the forum Steve. I know its asking the obvious but have you tried NPTC direct? They are usually a very helpful bunch of people. NPTC | Training Providers John.
  13. Morning, morning, morning – last day of a weeks holiday today (what a bummer!) Roll-on Christmas!!
  14. I can’t believe this thread is still here. When you want them to moderate something they don’t and when you don’t, they do! Oh to have such power…
  15. Haha, thankyou brother Just been trying the different methods of loading multiple photos…
  16. Mods, this is a test -feel free to delete this as and when you see fit. Thanks.
  17. Excellent helmet! Maybe a little heavy but who cares? You look the dogs'
