  1. Petzl have withdrawn it, there should be no limits on time, if it had a problem then it has a problem now.
  2. the seat claims my buttock bones bites with space cold of earth that it has joined in one solid lump "From Tractor", with my apologies to Ted Hughes if that's not an exact transcript
  3. Ha ha, it doesn't take that much:laugh1:
  4. I have a wife like that:laugh1:
  5. Do it the way your client wants
  6. Aren't we are paying for job every time we place an advert?
  7. Like
  8. I keep my iphone in the leg pocket of my stretch airs. 2 years with out incident
  9. Well said that man :congrats:
  10. It was ever thus, short of a full body harness, where the weight of the saw is going to make the straps dig into your shoulder there isn't much you can do. The hitch climber helps if you clip the saw into the spare attachment point.
  11. According to some bloke on the internet
  12. Just worth noting that one side is written by a journalist and the other side by some nobody on the internet
  13. Absolutely, hopefully the kids will learn that they need to wear the appropriate uniform at the appropriate time, if they progress into the services they will need to know that. Respecting the fallen is to be encouraged but they should have asked about the uniform first.
  14. That's not what you said in the first instance, drip feeding info as it suits isn't going to make a good thread, see ya.
  15. One mans banter is another mans bullying
  16. A kid I went to school with was called Alert Hall
  17. Why don't you tell us why they did it? What secrets did the top man impart on you? If they didn't do it to protect the dealer network why did they do it????
  18. Fixed that for ya
  19. That's true of a lot of things in the antipodes.
  20. Jon if you talk jibberish like you type I am surprised it only took an hour and you probably only got your name across:laugh1:
  21. So you are saying I am wrong and Jones weren't part of the pile it high sell it cheap gang????? I am aware that its a global business policy, it has to be since Stihl use the same business model worldwide but it matters not how widespread the policy is, its the dealers offering heavily discounted goods on the internet that created the situation
  22. Or worse, if he gets used to an obscenely bright car he might start craving a pfanner helmet
  23. Clearly some dealers are better than others but the poorer ones wont get any better if they don't get any trade, no incentive to improve. Now that Stihl have implemented this condition they need to make sure the dealers are providing good service In the same way that the dealers kind of had Stihl over a barrel threatening to dump a dealership Stihl have the ability to dump dealers.
  24. This posting sums it all up in a nutshell Don't feel sorry for the likes of Jonsie, he was part of the pile it high sell it cheap internet selling brigade that forced Stihl to implement this policy. Don't feel sorry for yourself either, as you say you were after a cheap deal so you are as responsible as anyone else for the change in policy. Stihls business model requires a dealer network, if the dealers cant compete they wont carry the minimum stock levels and may well jump ship altogether. You cant blame them for protecting their business.
  25. Its a de barking tool
