    Ok so validation is probably the wrong word, what I mean is I want confirmation that the council has got the notification, like attached. I always get on of these and insist on it, councils are a law to them selves and I cover my arse very well!
  2. Ian C
    what bollard is it?
  3. Ian C
    It doesn't but it still needs to be Valid and accepted by the council hence it needs to be validated. All my councils will send a validation letter out and its then 6 weeks from validation date, you cant just chuck an email in and count the days from that day, well you can but its a dangerous game!
  4. Ian C
    It needs to be validated by the council first so I would call them.

    All this will achieve is to divide an even more divided industry, what we really need is higher skilled climbers and better time scales in the utility sector not more knee jerk reactions that will have a massive affect on those firms that try and do things properly!

    Which sort of spoils the whole idea, a single rope but with two! Mmmmmm not quite right is it !
  7. Ian C
    yes and I use then raguly, but there again I still be me hands dirty!?
  8. Ian C
    Paul, is there any truth in this
  9. Ian C
    I don't see this an "evolution" its a totally backword step IMO, better skilled workers is the best move, a bad mechanic doesn't get better by having more spanners!

    Im with Pete on this one, rather than simply throw more kit at the job and have ropes all over the place making the job even harder better training and education is whats needed. what if 2 points fail do we add 3 and so on? utter crap, its more like another knee jerk reaction from people who make more money doing SFA sat in ivory towers because they know best. Whats the AA doing about it Paul? I know you have demonstrated what we do but are you actively telling them this is crap or just accepting it because it the HSE?

    Easy to see that these so called experts don’t actually work fir a living but ponce around making those that do life harder! Be interesting in a rescue situation with all those ropes around getting mixed up! Why is it that people who have really have no idea of a job tell those that do how to do it!

    John at Mason woodchippers is a top fella, very helpful and knows chippers like the back of his hand, he will do what ever you want.

    Sorry Eggs, life is brutal at times.

    That’s there choice, you are forcing them to use fuel that can be harmful, that’s your responsibility! A claim will come at some point, it has with everything else, miners with vibration white finger, aspestos , people working in dusty environments, farm workers told to use pesticides etc etc .
  15. Ian C
    Is the easy lift harness still on the go ?
  16. Ian C
    We have 5 mil only because most of my commercial clients want it, don’t do council work so 10mil is over kill
  17. Ian C

  18. Ian C
    How do you not know! Mmmmmm thought so! its impossible to be worse that that snake Cameron and treason May.

    The Dolmar would be my least favourite, it’s a poor design imo and having had a dolmar for five years it’s gone pop twice and that’s on Aspen fuel ! Stihl then husky then Echo
  20. Ian C
    eBay = knackered or nicked! Ok not everyone but most fall into those categories
  21. Ian C
    And you come across as a complete twat! You wind your neck in !! Bojo is the best we have had for a long time, if the jocks want independence let em have it , let’s face it jimmy crankie is going to make a great leader !
  22. Ian C
    and this is why the industry is slowly going tits up! that really is working for nothing!
  23. Ian C
    "Borrow" was a very loose term!
  24. Ian C
    you can borrow my Mrs if you want!

    I agree, Paul does a great job for the AA but it seems like a one man band in many ways, just wish it was more visible to the wider masses.
