    With all due respect, five years is a relatively short time. Stihl advise in manuals to warm down allowing heat to discipate.

    I have always kept my log piles low for fear of people (trespassers) injuring themselves. My yard has a frequently used footpath running alongside and I know people go in. My question is, do I need insurance?

    I,ve always used Stihl oil at 50:1, let the saw warm up on tickover and warm down on tickover. Never had a problem yet.

    Whats next when youre backs turned, something through the chipper other than wood just to see what happens? You did right to get rid.

    It,s an old one but still makes me laugh, wrap some dogshite in newspaper, place at someones front door, set it alight, ring the door bell and run. They wont know whats inside until they,ve stamped out the fire.

    They,ve changed the wording a bit since my last arguments with them, but scroll down to Annexe1 take a bit of time to digest it like I had to, and then go to "Collection and Transport".

    Same as., and I admire youre stance. Keep it up but I know youre on a loser.

    I know how you feel, but for fifty a year is it worth it. Just look at it as an involuntary contribution to the EA.

    I had one turn up on a midweek morning still drunk from the night before and expecting to work around saws all day. We parted company there and then,should have seen his face.

    I thought along these lines, if nothing more than to get one over on the govt.What you say is true.I thought maybe bump the quote up by a tenner to leave the debris and an obvious reduction to remove.Youre qoutes would in effect remain the same but the customer would think he,s getting something for nothing possibly swinging the job youre way.And on top of that youve saved £150.

    Now thats what you call a chipper.
  20. Mick Stockbridge
    Nice outfit,is that the chipper youre sitting on in youre avatar?

    A spit in the ocean compared to whats spent on waging war. They may as well spit in youre eye.

    My chipper likes to eat fluffy kittens:scared1:Just kidding:laugh1:

    You have to fill in a form.I only had to wait a couple of weeks before the license arrived. On the spot fine of £300 if you dont have one,and then the £150 on top. After the first three years the next three drops to £90. When you do get it make sure you carry it.

    Bang! goes youre pistol money.:ohmy:Will it not be covered on youre house insurance?
