Awesome song....

Any business is the same.

You start off as a little monkey at the bottom of the tree and after a few years you've climbed so high that you've reached the top of the tree.

As the top monkey, you have a look down at everyone underneath you and all you see is smiling faces looking up at you....

When you're the little monkey starting off at the bottom of the tree, you look up and all you can see are arseh*les.....

I've got the orange ones. Think that they cost about £100. can't fault them, very good boots and seem to be good value. Had them about 10 months and no probs yet!!

Here we go again!!!

I remember the first day with one of said companies the boss was on site with me and said to me

"the most important thing when you work for me is to leave the site tidier than when you arrived, you can do the most shocking tree work in the world but as long as the site is tidy the client is happy and will pay"

 

He was'nt implying that i do bad work just that appereance is everything, and it seems to work very well for him.

 

To me though the tree's and the qaulity of skills we use is far more important than site tidyness, so i went back self employed.

 

Unfortunatly most clients can not recognise good skills or appropiate tree care, so maybe we should all concentrate on looking good and being tidy rather than being good at what we do.

I know what you're saying Marc, you could do an amazing reduction but if there is a bit of sawdust on the drive, the customer won't be happy. I think that if you can convince the customer that you're passionate about what you're doing and care about trees then the battle's half won.

I don't think that anyone on this forum wants to work for someone that would rather do a cr@p job but leave it really tidy, thats why we all use this forum, because we're passionate about trees.

Am I being think? I thought that they were the same, just one was hardback and t'other wasn't. Are they different or is it worth getting both?

Ha ha!! Me too!!!

Cheers for having a go!!

The 'shot marking' effect was very similar. The only difference was there was a slight yellowing around the marks that isn't present on Dean's photo. The mildew was there as well.

Monkeyd, Can that occur on Sweet Chestnut? I had someone show me a leaf that looked very similar not too long ago and I didn't have a clue what it was...

I'm suprised that no-one has mentioned this to Steve's money saving group!!! (See Interesting Read thread)

It sounds like a bargain!!!!

Can you just walk into book shops and find it or do you have to order it on line? I'm going on holiday on Friday and will need something to do while my woman sits and cooks herself...

No problem!! Good luck!!!
