Am I missing something obvious here?

Stolen I would imagine.

Doobin has summed it up perfectly. Yell once told me they had had ‘400 enquiries for tree work in Hamstreet in the last week’. That was more than one per house! They are lying scum, avoid.

First stump over about 6” I would think!

Absolutely not! I don’t mind a bit of digging for the amount I do, and this wouldn’t have been much quicker with loading and transport. I would like to do more planting though. A local oik has just started splattering the village FB group with his new 0.8t machine, stating that he is available for ‘tree stump removal’.

That’s much more positive. ’You had a 4.2% pay rise in April because we are such a great company and we value you so much.’

There was a thread on this last year mate. I can’t help further I’m afraid, but good luck! Need more planting, and folks who will do it.

Indeed. Should chip itself!

I might spike up and bosh bits off, but then again I might not! I’d get Lux to have a look at them first.

I cut one in half hand digging a trench the other week. I was gutted. Poor little bugger had pretty much made it all through the winter.

They look pretty crispy Reuben, and I’m guessing the drop zones are busy?

Just let the tyres down Al! 👍 Hope you’re well mate.

Dan wins. Thread over.

What a great work ad! Good luck with it Tim!

It’s a shite idea. How do you expect to be competitive when you’re spending £250/day on hire fees? Money that you will never see again.

Don’t rivers run into the sea though?

@Ty Korrigan will have some useful input. My advice would be buy the biggest one you can afford.

….and walk away.

Some state schools have shite teachers mate. It’s not all about your natural intelligence. I was lucky, my state school had good ones. Some private schools clearly have poor teachers as well. A few of my posho mates were undiagnosed dyslexics pretty much until they left. A posho mate down here is currently spending £80k/year on posho education for his kids. He can well afford it, and they’re nice kids, coming along grand. Very polite, maybe a bit precocious, but in a nice way? It’s all about the connections, apparently. I just think if you’ve got that kind of dollar your kids aren’t exactly going to fail in life, are they? FWIW I very much doubt the RAF discriminate in any way on pilots jobs. Best man (or woman) for the job, simple. Ridiculous combination of brains, reflexes, vision, hand-eye coordination, mental strength, physical ability to withstand G’s, language skills etc. They will just take the best. They have to. I applied and failed because my knob was too big to fit in the cockpit of a Eurofighter. THAT’S positive discrimination Stubby!

Absolutely. Elitism has it’s place as well. If you’re bright enough and work hard Oxbridge is achievable with a state school education. Conversely I know plenty of people who had a very expensive education whose basic maths and English is shocking. They do ok though. They were born rich.

I meant McGough!

Nice one Dan. You weren’t with Liam were you?

Drew Bristow was using one on his latest rainforest expedition and said he rates it.
