Nice to meet you Ted, you are as genuine as they come

It was all possessions left in a tray at the door Stevie, they have some top secret development plant under construction and some futuristic manufacturing technique that they wouldn't like to be plastered over the net. Good stuff though mate, you missed a treat, there were loads of gloria,s all long up in rows

I,d just like to thank PeteB for his generosity giving up his time for the Greenmech factory tour today, it just finished off our APF trip nicely. I was in my element, really enjoyed it. It's nice to see the production line of a guenuinley British manufactured machine. The greenmech stand was once again a very professional, no bull setup

Did I have my boots on Adam or was I wearing my hi heels at the time ? Scrub that last question, I had my Boots on.. Andy Collins had borrowed my heels the night before

Nice to see you as well Adam, there were so many people it was a case of hello , how are you, goodbye. We spent two days down here, one day walking round and one day saying hello and goodbye

I was just about to throw out my left sock, when I found my long lost right sock.

Cutter teeth have a comparatively huge surface area, so cool very very quickly in air, hence the "quenching" effect and therefore hardening?

Best way is for you to apply for title to that land, if it comes back as no one has title then you have aquired more land foc, otherwise you will be told who the title holder is -

After working at Mrs Divers house all week and having a standing joke between us we accidentally called her Mrs Muff when asking for the cheque. One of those moments when you could curl up in a ball and die

I,m a proper big girl

Couldn't have put it better myself John

Hence the reason I leave commercial side to you boys, I've had a lifetime of outdoor work and now have a very good business and standard of living without having to get wet. Need any tips on keeping your ropes dry give us a shout

Having a large wage bill would be a big factor on your choice (-:

My main point about working in the wet is the safety issue, not whether you mind getting wet or your workers mind getting wet. Profit comes second to safety. Why anyone would want to take down a slimy Sycamore in the pishing rain when the forecast is good for the next day is beyond me. This year has been unprecedented for rain, I got wet about three times this year, but previous to that I reckon I have got my gear wet about three or four times in ten years. Please just take this as my personal thoughts and not a dig at you but, I just think its so easy to reschedule jobs to fit round the weather (this year may be an exception) that to work on big jobs or climbing jobs in the phishing rain is either down to desperation or greed

That's why I choose not to go down the complicated route, why have all that hassle for the same money. I,ve seen bigger firms pricing against each other to take down big roadside tree for next to nowt just to cover their over heads. Why have all that hassle when you can trim mrs smiths hedges for twice the money. I have got to the point now where I just let them get on with it and chuckle to myself how hard they make it for themselves
