  1. Well you cant believe anything anyone says really. So you either believe what the OP says or you dont comment. Otherwise there would be no comments on any threads where someone makes a statement. Just because the OP says the paper said X makes it no more unbelievable than if the OP said I saw X. That reads like a dogs dinner but hopefully my point is made somewhere. We can only comment on the perceived facts.
  2. Surely that's irrelevant.
  3. Your heartless bugger. I reckon you would if you came home to see your mog being raped by a scrap man. Common we have to give respect to the people we work for and there possessions. I would be absolutely gutted if it was me or my company that had carried out the work in question.
  4. Too right!!! Imagine it was your pride and joy(insert here 1950's corvette,Triumph norton or any other possession you hold dear) the cost is irreverent, if they towed it away and smashed it up but said sorry we can give you something like it but its not the same would that be ok? Anyway I agree with you, old people should be hanged, they complain too much.
  5. I think your missing what happened here. Someone had there pride and joy destroyed for no reason whatsoever. To us its 4 15 feet connies which lets be honest should have been done and dusted in 20 mins flat so it shows the type of professional that carried out the work(smashed plant pots, trunks everywhere, didnt stop when told to etc etc)but to the old dears its privacy and maybe a bit of greenery in an urban concrete jungle. They probably had their garden destroyed and who knows what other problems it will cause them. I always make sure 100% that I am removing the right tree. When its gone its gone.
  6. That piston is toast and would be surprised if the cylinder isn't knackered too. Looks like you are going to have to strip it down to see the total damage, and find out what caused before you get any replacement parts(if you are going to repair it) look on eBay for non oem pistons/cylinders, less than half the price if you want to repair on a budget.
  7. What a very silly thing to do, at least it was a warning and you know what to do in the future, ie get someone to drop you off at the hospital to save the parking fee.
  8. No offence but i presume from your previous posts that you dont do that much tree work. There are so many variables while pricing up tree jobs, its easy to get some wrong. Its easy to bung a nice big price on though to cover all possible problems, but then some people have to compete more than others.
  9. Some from St Lucia. Couldnt afford to go there now. [ATTACH]74068[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]74069[/ATTACH]
  10. Thats a cracking one.
  11. I would say it's worth checking to see if the pump blocks up like it does on the 020's.
  12. Black hybrid poplar is my guess. That or silver birch.
  13. A tree fossil? Looks nice though whatever it is.
  14. Can Danish oil be used too as I thought that was food safe?
  15. Your living in the past, stop living in the past Marge. I understand your meaning but many people life in some dire 'means' they need to expand and move out and up. Things were bad in the past, lets not forget that.
  16. I think VAT dates back to smuggling, pirates, rum and loot. It should really be loads of fun. Although it all boils down to 3 of these blokes [ATTACH]73777[/ATTACH] chasing Mr B for 96p. Money well spent Mr B, money well spent.
  17. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAWcs5H-qgQ]Ed Sheeran - The A Team (Official Music Video) OUT NOW! - YouTube[/ame]
  18. It was staring me in the face all the time!! Just takes a genius to explain it in plain Spanglish. So why then does Mrs Smith pay the VAT man to have her conifers trimmed?
  19. Cheers for the info.
  20. Looks excellent. Is the finish on the pestle just from sanding or have you done something else to it?
  21. Doesnt that mean that everyone gets charged extra? It would be far better if they scrapped VAT altogether. Theres is no way I add any value to my customers trees. In fact can anyone explain what the real reason is behind VAT as apart from just another tax I dont see what its for.
  22. I know there is an android app that uses the same principal to measure heights. In fact there are quite a few so I would assume there is onefor the iphone already out there. Just look for something like 'smart tools' or 'advanced ruler pro' Not saying it still wouldnt sell though.
  23. I advise that if you buy the ali gekos get the ones with the leather strap at the bottom not the velco one. Haven't used the leather strap style but it HAS to be better than the velco as it is total garbage! They seem nice spikes other than that although I think the spikes are made of fairly soft metal as they go blunt quite quickly.
  24. I'm thinking along the lines that since they demo'd it nearly twelve months ago and it's still not available there must have been some major problems with the saw. Which can't be good!
  25. Have husky given up on this saw or what?!
