    I suffered for many years with this problem,carried on climbing but had to be very aware.My addvice would be to get the operation asap as for me it was life changing in respect of my working life.I was driving with in a fortnight and back to light work after a month or so and climbing again three months.I just cant believe I waited so long to have it done.

    Luckily never had to make a claim but what do you reckon would hapen if I smashed a limb through a roof or something causing thousands of pounds worth of damage.I can only asume they would check me out as it is a requirement of the policy that I am qualified.If you claim on a car the first thing the insurance asssesor will check for is condition of tyres and any mods that aint done for fun.

    There is no excuse really for not being qualified,you dont have to do the training,for quite a few of mine I just read the assesment schedule and booked the assesment.Insurance companies are just not going to pay out if something happens and you aint got the tickets.

    Might have been said but isnt this question a bit like ,what is the safest shotgun.

    It is so comforting to know that after a tendering process and reams of paperwork and hoop jumping that someone will do this work for nothing.

    It happened exactly that way close to me last winter, a guy wanted a hedge taken out ,it was road side on a sharp bend about 30 to 40ft high about 40 yards long with a phone line running through it.From memory he got 200 pounds for it.

    Got a 42" bar and a harness from two places at the same time, the harness was not available in this country and the bar was cheap , got stung for duty on the harness but not the bar not sure if it is pot luck or how it works.

    I admire you for helping the lads out so much but lending cars or trucks to lads,that is a position of trust in my book has to be worked for.

    Exactly how it worked less putting down for aditional costs, there must have been about twenty different jobs to do ,pushed on the first day to make an easy second, just get mugged every now and again.I suppose you have to think of the times it works out the other way around. I think this is one of the few industries where some clients think this is acceptable.

    Was 5 acres of perfectly manicured garden, tree in Hilliers can not id deffo more work ,what do you do was priced for two days but could have left early.
  22. steve@black
    Just wait for the "whilst your here" you just end up working for nothing, had it for two hours the other day on a two day job ,the client even had the cheek to ring and say we had forgotten a couple of branches to reduce back.

    It is always busy this week of the year, the snow only helps ,easier than selling smack backstage at a Jeremy Kyle show.

    You dont have to be self employed, if i am right your employer should be able to sort it out.
