  1. Gloves for climbing?Whats the world coming too!Be a man and take the pain.
  2. Seems a bit unfair to me,and is it legal? I would never ask the lowest price.
  3. I would have a go at stripping it right down to the bare bones,I,ve submerged outboards and got them going again. Rockapes can do almost anything!
  4. Realy,then why did I bother with my tickets in 2003 when I,ve been climbing and groundworking since 1981?
  5. Now n then.
  6. It,s an art,Ive been at it for thirteen years.I,m still getting it wrong.
  7. I would,nt bother with second hand ever!By the time you,ve paid for it and repaired it you,ll realise you,ve chucked good money after bad.Trust me I,ve tried it.
  8. Slight mistake,you can buy an ms200t with 14in bar for £339+vat free delivery from George Carr.
  9. Forgot to say its with an eighteen inch bar.Might be a bit cheaper with fifteen inch bar.
  10. Just bought a husky 345,good saw so far.You can get one from George Carr and Sons for £310inc V.A.T and delivery.
  11. honourable my b******e,an honourable politician? No such thing.
  12. You get what you pay for.Personally I would much rather have the faster saw while climbing.For £325.00 inc V.A.T and delivery why bother with anything but the best.
  13. Know what you mean,there was nothing wrong with the old ones.I developed a refueling system,took it to Stihl U.K to show Hans Fairley,after signing confidentiality aggreement.He was so interested he kept the prototype and sent a report to Germany.Unfortunately nothing came of it,so I was told.Anbody out there with a good idea keep it under wraps and apply for a patent.
  14. You should go s/employed,at forty six I can earn a fair bit more than that.
  15. Never found one big enough.
  16. Go back to being a number and give us all a break!!!
  17. The best person I worked with and still do is my wife,what a grafter.Like alot of women she has "TRUE GRIT"
  18. I am forty six,been climbing and groundworking for at least twenty six years.Can still out climb most sprogs,finding it harder to recover these days.
  19. for christsake give up.
  20. Sorry to say "TICKETS" mean very little.Experience is everything.Work for a firm, but not too long as this is a young persons game, no disrespect intended.
  21. Make sure the customer is happy first, then let them pay how and when it is convenient for them. Only ever had one bad payer in thirteen years. I should have known though, he came across as a W****R from the start.
  22. A real eye puller,I am in Medway "ALL TREE SURGERY BY M.STOCKBRIDGE" where are you?
  23. God forbid and touch wood that I should ever do so,it might make me give up the job I love and have been doing so for the last twenty six years.
