  1. I read that in Hort Week as well Richy, and Bristol are by no means the only one. It's worrying. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  2. Hi Nick, You've posted in the Employment section offering your freelance services, but this is locked for replies and you haven't included your mobile no. or email. Just a heads-up mate. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  3. Did you try and drive through it? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  4. I've seen it in Noosa in Queensland. Dead pines in front of a swanky new house. The enormous billboard erected between them said 'These trees were illegally poisoned to obtain a sea view'. Classic.
  5. Good work mate. Hope he's ok.
  6. I think that's unrealistic commercially Edward. Our LA has a very good interactive map system for TPO's and CA's, anything else is surrounded by hours of telephonic robot hell, ignorance, lack of response or good old fashioned lies and deceit. Remember this may apply to multiple queries in any week. Life is too short.
  7. That's exactly the way I see it. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  8. Phew!!! [emoji481] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  9. I do check online, and there's nothing there. I'm not going down the whole Hercule Poirot route every time I'm asked to fell a tree. I make an exception for decent specimens, mind. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  10. 10. Jensen - nearly as good as Timberwolf. [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  11. It's the sort of thing my dad would say, without any racist intent whatsoever. He's definitely not a racist, in his own words he 'likes the darkies'. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  12. I bet it's the same one I used Joe![emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  13. The problem I've encountered Paul is that when I've been asked to fell a tree I've done the usual CA and TPO checks and nothing has shown up. If the customer either doesn't know about the planning condition, or doesn't want to tell me I have zero visibility. For the record I have felled a few and precisely nothing has happened.
  14. I've never understood this 'planning condition' murk personally. If a tree is worthy of a TPO, put a TPO on it!
  15. I would guess the tree is protected by planning conditions, rather than TPO. This is pretty common.
  16. I find it perfectly acceptable. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  17. Turnover is vanity. Profit is sanity. Cash is King! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  18. Winning answer for me. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  19. It's great that electric cars are fossil fuel free. The electricity they run on is generated by magic. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  20. Some belters there, especially Grahams. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  21. Actually I'd climbed it previously with an endoscope, no bats present. Didn't get any pics of that unfortunately, probably more the sort of thing you're after! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  22. Here's one of Rich flopping a top out full of bats. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  23. Have you talked to your neighbour about it? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  24. Fair play mate, hope he gets through.[emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
