  7. enter me please! only read the review yesterday!
  8. Dr. watson thinks mr holmes told him the wrong fuel mixture (i know its steam and everything!)
  9. fair play sailor so i shouldnt be thankfull?! the way i look at it is if i were a boss, and i kept buying new kit, and diddnt get a thankyou, id be getting pissed of and think they obviously dont appreciate it, so i wont bother gettin any more! jason, just a little backround to my post, i do agree that you need good kit to do the job, to make their profit but my boss has gone a step further-i was asked what large saw id like, not just given the standard husky theyre used to, i asked to be put through on 7.5tonne, they said yes, even though everyone else can drive 7.5tonners. . .so i diddnt need it, i then asked to be upgraded to the C2 catogry instead, they said no probs im the newest member of the team(well newest lead climber anyhow) and they intrust me with the new chipper, rather than a hand me down everyone deserves a thankyou if theyve done right, no matter what rung of the ladder they are at
  10. do you get out of the wrong side of bed everyday jason?! or do i just not get your sence of humour?! having worked for not so good bosses, its nice to have a decent one. we all like it when they pat us on the back and say well done, so why shouldnt we thank them?
  11. nope! when i signed up i asked about training agreements, she told me theyd like to expect to get their moneys worth, but at the end of the day, if i wasnt happy, they wouldnt want to force me to stay. fair enough really, good job theyre a good company, theyre gonna get their moneys worth!
  12. bit like sunday grace (although have never done grace!) id like to say cheers to my boss-past 2 months had new lowering ropes, new MS660, new chipper(TW) and put through on my HGV c2 (rigid upto 32tonnes) they do deserve some thanks anyone else thankfull?!

  17. dryads a very good firm, or try ISS they had a tree team north of guildford, large company, only done a day for them though
  18. Whos the convict???
  19. yeah, agree, think its very area dependant to what the cost of living is, thus, what a good wage is
  20. yeah thats fine, but (dependant on area) it doesnt leave you much-round this way cost of living is high- at a guess: tax£50pw, food£40pw, fuel£20, car insurance£20pw(dear if in first few years), social life£50(£3.00 pint!),even a room in a shared house is around £60pw! after general living expences, round here you wouldnt be left with much if you want to save-new car/house deposit ect, youd struggle to make much headway! i was trying to offer some hope to them!
  21. big kit
  22. this thread makes it sound like no newbies got a chance, or are going to be earning £50 a day!! heres some hope to them when i finished arb college a few years back-after a 3 month course, i was honest with the companies i spoke too, i had a week of trial days booked in at the end of the course(5 seperate companys) and got accepted by all of them (i know it helped that i had good refrences and an agricultural backround and had been working in conservation/agriculture since i left school, and wasnt shy of hard work-who can be in farming?!) i had starting wages ranging from £65-£80 per day. had 6 months with one company (£80perday), then moved away, at the next company, i started on £80 and within 3 months had been boosted to £100per day as they felt i had not only worked hard for it, but, more importantly was more than capable enough to deserve it im not bragging, just trying to give hope and show current arb students that it is possible to earn good coin in under a year, IF you work hard, learn quickly, enjoy yourself, and are a natural to tree work
  23. a horsey yard off the beaten track to the south west of stow where my sister occasionally teaches unfortunatly no horsey girls present
  24. ah ok, if i get any more private jobs that way ill give you notice. been asked to do a poplar near bury, not sure when though go that way quite alot-sister lives in stow, and old man lives on the coast
