Nice work John.

Thanks Mick, it’s been grinding my spelling OCD beef all day!

Scissors being better than rams is exactly the opposite of what I’ve found. Every scissor tipper I’ve used has been weak.

Buying a house with a large tree in front
Mark Bolam replied to Olpod's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Spot on mate, I wasn’t having a pop at Treeation really, just the ownership issue. If the neighbours love the tree and can’t see the future bother it will cause I would look at another house. -

Mark Bolam replied to Olpod's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
You would recommend removal to the neighbour who owns the tree? -
It happens for companies where the climber gets £120 instead of £80 Mick.

Sounds a great job though. Good luck with it!

You may want to check your spelling of ‘Manager’. Tut tut.

Cheapest place to get Distel Geckos and what spikes?
Mark Bolam replied to Paddy1000111's topic in Climbers talk
Velcro tops and leather bottoms suit me best. Beware of cheaper prices where the company haven’t actually got the spikes in stock. -
I still use one.
-
You could do that for sure, I just think the padding makes it comfier than having the plastic sheath digging into your leg. Not everyone gets on with them, but I wouldn’t be without mine. The price isn’t much of a factor as they last for years if you stick the straps together when not in use. They look cool in the shop as well.

Cracking pics.

We don’t know the full story Les, none of us were there. I can guarantee I’ve done jobs for £1k that I should have put £2k on back in the day. Looked a fairly straightforward big day to me, but lack of access pics didn’t help. Glad you got it sorted OP, thanks for following up.

Food IS too cheap mate, but it’s not the producers who want cheap prices? I’m totally with you on the waste thing, it’s an utter disgrace.
-
That’s a good answer Paul, it’s grown because there is a need for it and it pays. Simple agri-economics. The subsidies thing is a can of worms. Most farmers I know would rather be paid a fair price for what they do in the first place and not need them. It’s a bit more deep than that though.

Apologies for the f word Arbtalk rules fans, I couldn’t find a better substitute to get my point across.

How would you grow forage beet then Paul? Fairy dust?

Well said Matty. Squaredy you are talking like a townie who drives a Prius and thinks they are saving the planet without giving enough thought to where the electricity comes from. Do you have any idea how much diesel a big arable farm gets through in a year? Oh great, they can just all go out and buy a Tesla combine and the price of food will stay the same. Really simplistic, badly thought out post. Just because the government want to fuck everyone over who actually works for a living doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good idea.

That is one time that taking your work home with you would be a good thing. Have a word. You’ll be Employee of the Month in no time.

That’s a shame. I was about to set some shops on fire and steal a TV and some expensive trainers.
