  1. Much better with one person John, because you have an extra 90kg to play with for cutting and holding, then slewing into the dropzone whilst holding :001_tongue::scared1:

     

    One thing I wouldn't do is cut and hold with two up, not enough weight capacity left to play with and the basket can be easily over loaded

     

    Depends on the size of the machine, the ones mounted on million ton lorries are good for a party in the cage.

  2. We use orange, long sleeve. Seperates us from builders!

     

    Otherwise everyone would think you were a builder? best stop laying bricks Rupe. I find the chipper chucking out 130db, a massive arboriculturaly sign written 7.5 tonner, chainsaws and a guy in a tree helps to deliniate this often confusing knife edge.

  3. dont understand :confused1:

     

    two chaps working together, one an operator the other the cutter, or one holding and chucking and the other operating, can in Johns eyes be very efficient. Or two people in a cage built for one can get the mewp rocking.

    Does anyone know LEE at universal? I dont want to get anyone into trouble, but we've had some proper wrong times in one of em big ones.

  4. Depends on the type of pigeon doesn't it in terms of destruction of nests. Wood pigeons no no to destruction the nasty flying vermin type street pigeon I thought wasn't protected. I'm probably very very wrong though

     

    Your the riddler arn't you?

  5. The best performing boots will last the least amount of time and visa versa. Like F1 tyres. Mclaren don't go for longer lasting rubber because its gonads, instead they opt for the best for the job. I'm in agreement with this as translated to footwear. (I can do this). The same can be said of almost every aspect of my life. Although choice of woman, tends to follow this vaguely, you can find one who top out at 10 and stay the distance too.

    What am I talking about?

  6. Do you or anyone know if they comply to the correct regs.

    If they do I think I will start to stock them.

     

    Oh and buy the way we sell loads of cones mainly to councils who always seem to run out of them, funny that:sneaky2:

     

    I have no idea. other than size, it didn't occur to me that there was a Reg on the distance from ground. Makes sense I guess. because they use two straps to sit on the cone, the size of the cone i.e. the taper of the cone would affect the height. It would be very cool if the specific cone size for any given speed of carriageway lifted the sign to the right height.

     

    It would be interesting to study the life cycle of a road cone. From manufacturer right through the various `owners' right up until it's eventual demise under the wheels of a gravel lorry, or as the last grains of sand trickle away along the A13 on the way back from some unimportant roadside job for it's final owner.

    I feel quite tearful.

  7. Ahh batfink now that takes me back :) did Batfink wear hi-viz and work for network rail ???

     

    Oi! I've been very restrained, and you've just gone and taken the whole rail derailment thing into uncharted territory. Batfink? :001_tongue:
