What are you, a woman?

It can’t be anything else. I know you said it couldn’t all be down to social media, so I’ll add mainstream media. Having deranged men (yes, men) like Sam Smith on TV isn’t helping.
-
Good question Sime. Social media probably.
-
* With counterweights, obviously.

Cheap MEWP Dan. You’d be good for about 25’ working height I reckon.
-
You should seriously think about it at that price Dan. You’re a big lad, and that helps on these titchy machines. Plus you’ve got an engineering type brain, which helps. My mate subbed me in today with my WQ, 2 day job smashed out in 1. 4 Transit loads worth of timber stacked for customer. Dragging brash to chipper. Bollard on grab used for rigging. Ball on grab used to move chipper to awkward spots. 15m3 of chip today, 3 of us. They are a game changer. Alex is the man to talk to about Skidster, I’m sure he abuses, sorry, gets the best out of his as much as anyone.

Oh go and free rotate yourself, you pedant. You are correct though, obviously.
-
I think we’ll get a stiff breeze here in Kent Peds, but it does look like you’re in for a real battering. Stay safe mate.

My Klou grab was about £2.5k + VAT. I reckon you’d get a decent second hand one similar for about £1.5k. You need one you can fix in 2 positions, and a ‘knockabout’ facility.

People are sick of it Mick, that’s why. Sick of being dictated to by the whims of a few weirdos. Not worth spending a single penny, or cent, on

Puberty horrible? Constant boners, cock getting bigger, muscles growing, fit as a fiddle, no aches and pains? I wish I could go back!!!

Can I add a 5th wheel to my Transit I wonder?
-
Does that still come in under 3.5t?

Did you buy a licence in the end?

What to do with this conifer?
Mark Bolam replied to jt101's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I’d top it to hedge height if I couldn’t convince them to fell it, but like Dan the cost would be the same. I’d also explain, and put in writing, that it will almost certainly die anyway so they will be paying twice. -
The only way to change this is to vote with your feet! If we all stopped buying these overpriced boots with shitty PU soles the manufacturers would have to change them.

Let’s have some fun then. This is what I wear for climbing. Comfy with or without spikes. They also stop your hands getting sore.
-
That price seems really good. Is that Will at Stag?
-
Just do it then Rob. Don’t bother with the ponzi scheme. If customers are already asking you you’ll sell that amount through word of mouth, no advertising. If anyone mentions Woodsure just walk away. Get them ringed and split as early as possible, and under cover with airflow. If you start now you’ll be ready to start selling next winter. Buy a moisture meter as well, customers won’t come back if you sell them wet crap. A hard/soft mix is fine. Be honest about volume. A ‘builders bag’ is fine. Saying a builders bag is 1m3 is not, unless you actually have 1m x 1m x 1m bags, which are huge and pretty rare. A standard 800mm bag is only just over 0.5m3 if it’s not stretched.
-
It’s an even easier win if you just send them a log you’ve had in an oven and give them £500.
-
If no one signed up for it it would die. Who enforces this crap anyway? The police don’t even attend burglaries.
-
I don’t know a single supplier down here who has signed up to the bullshit ready to burn scheme. Hopefully it will just die.
