BL Searles have done ours, talk too Steve, They are great! always busy it seems, would not hesitate to recommend

Best attitude Chris, spot on.

Cheers Mark, Thats how i would deal with it. But I can understand Roni's predicament, its just knowing when to stand back and say enough is enough.

The jobs hard enough (as well you know) without some narrow minded prick causing hassle Sod em! Lifes too short

Run with it if you have the inclination and backing of the council. As long as it dos'nt cost you money or stress, Good luck bud

Slander is spoken Chris, libel is printed.

 

The bloke is a massive cock, crack a cold one and move on.

 

No one listens to little Hitlers like that anyway.

Hey cheers Mark, every days a school day:) I used to get wound up by guys like this, and it can really screw you up thinking "this guy will ruin us", and like you said no one listens too him apart from himself.

I now think, Screw em! let them get on with there own rant, and i sleep a hell of a lot better

Roni, Have you got any more information on what went on? I take it the guy entered your work area and held up the works, if you have any of his contact information you might be able to send him an invoice for lost work time. Not sure if that might put him off.

Was this on a council contract? Are the council giving you any back up? Are you Arb approved?

If he cost you time, Well i dont know how you go about that, But slander... ... has he put it in print?

why not sleep on it and decide then if you want to cause yourself more hassle

Great Advice John. Was the guy just a bit of a nimby, How much did he Really hold up the works. If the jobs over and the invoice has been raised then forget about it and move on to the next one. Seems like it would be a lot of hassle to get involved with.

You say ex Cop, We had a guy that wanted to come through our works to complain , It was designated footpath with official closure and completley closed off he came through two sections of signs,cones and barriers and i had to stop him from going under a backleaner over the path gobbed out and wedged. People think they have a right to go where they want, when they want. Even if their life is endangered, they dont focus on the big picture and are hell bent on letting you know their opinions.

Let it go

Pm sent mate

Just read this and realised why iv'e not been on here for a long while...

When i lend my mates something (and i sure as hell dont lend anyone any of my saws) i just ask for it back,

Did you say?

1, "Here you go Mate, i dont use this 3120 anymore so you might as well have it" or

2, "Here you go Mate, You can borrow this until i need it back"

Option 1, means you might be out of luck - Generous yes, But still out of luck.

Option 2, means he is either a forgetful mate or he's sold it on ebay and ran off down the shops to buy Beer/Cornettos/Crack/Porn etc If so you might still be out of luck,

Either way I would go round to where he lives, knock on the door and ask for it back....

Let us know how you get on

":biggrin:Overdue account" is great!

Really really rate SIP Progress they are by far the best trousers i have had. way better then the anything, stihl, husky or stretch air can come up with.

Yep all three days for sure, looking forward to it.

He sounds like a right laugh. Least he dont beat around the bush. ; )

Sounds like you spoke to Andrew, hope all go's well.

Like pete says no need to strip bark as I would think the axe team will do that. Not sure what lengths you can deliver but would imagine that any thing near twelve foot would be good plus a bit for cuts. They might need lengths for tree demos so I wouldn't cut shorter then that. If you can help it. Think you might be supplying The Gywenned Axemen. So I might be worth dropping them a line. Not sure on that one though. What's the show?

Hi woodland. As I guy that chops it sounds like you have got the perfect timber. Anything between the sizes you have got will do. As the guys can slab it down if the diameter is a little bit large. I'm sure if you can supply the roundest, straightest, cleanest Poplar then everyone will be happy, and you'll probaly get asked to supply again. No knots is normally the name of the game. And they will probably cut the lengths into 2 foot sections. So multiples of that would be good I would imagine. Hope that helps.

Email sent Thanks

Sound's Good i would be interested for sure.

NEWS JUST IN ON THE GRAPEVINE- " more break ins in bedfordshire area. one attempted (gas axed the container, One where they got away with chipper and all saws plus shotguns x4.
