I’ve had TO’s that wouldn’t sanction the removal of a manky 50 year old HC 6’ from a 300 year-old house ‘until it displayed visible evidence of cracking’. They didn’t seem to give a toss about future blame or ramifications. My current TO who is a pragmatic tree guy who used to be on the tools. We have a great working relationship. I would disagree with you Mick, but only slightly. It does depend on the TO.

Thanks Blah. You’re spot on about my current tyres. I’m getting the all-tracs.

Cut him some slack, he’s only about 15!

How can you appeal if they’re not responding? It’s a legal process with set timescales. They can’t change it to suit themselves.

I think his warts and all approach is very appealing.

I would say yes, but I’m sure Jules @daltontrees will be able to confirm.

Very nice again. I like this kid. Calm in a crisis, isn’t he?

I think what skews it as well is everyone thinking a ‘tonne bag’ is 1m3. Yes, I know they exist and yes, I know bags stretch, but most bags are 0.8mx0.8mx0.8m, which is 0.512m3 level. Most sellers round here says it’s 0.8m3 though! I’d say 1.5m3/tonne probably isn’t too far out. I’m extremely glad I don’t buy in!

Nice one Steve. What did you replace it with, and what are your hopes for it? Don’t say another million quid, that will be 2027!

It’s pretty sad mate. Good memories of polishing our school shoes with Dad on a Sunday evening. The smell of Kiwi always reminds me of this. Alas, doesn’t really happen with my kids these days. Still got an old school shoe care box, mind. Mainly the Dubbin and Nikwax getting a workout now.

Was that DJ?

He also seems pretty calm and relaxed. Basically the opposite of me in a tree.

I think a gob provides more control, especially with a chunky hinge. You can always nibble more off, you can’t put it back on.

It’s easy for you though because they’re more worried about your guns.
