    An igland winch or similar with a hydraulic pump on the front mounted on your forklift would work a treat. lPG Eddie had 1 for his 8 ton digger.

    The title is all very dramatic, you never got the job. Move on. If you are going to be sensitive best you take your regular pay check it's much easier than running your own company.

    Show some compassion!

    That was a big Fox, the curly ones are a lot more hyper I believe! My smooth was like the penguin in Wallace and Gromit, fly and crafty with zero emotion!

    I had a smooth coat Fox terrier for 11 years, she would sit emotionless for hours, then along would come a bird! Jeez she was fast! Chickens were its nemesis! Cracking wee dogs, I've never seen many tbh, she was a gift from an old boy in the village that bread them. Here's my crew now!

    Quicker than the old site here and my signal isn't great.

    Best thing that could of happened to the lad! I've been that young idiot! A good swearing when you are in the wrong will last you a lifetime! Glad you are ok!

    Slack that's a picture of the last owner, I've only used it to play about in my mates yard and shift some horrible old off cuts!

    I tried to answer your survey unfortunately I can only describe the questions as vaguely specific in the wrong way with a limited poor choice of answers.

    you have to fail to learn! Many of us started our business before the days of asking online, you just had to take a deep breath and go for it. Have I made mistakes, of course I have, have I hurt myself, yes! Have I made money, run a successful business since 1999 , yes!
  19. Stephen Blair
    Pretty much all my successful friends who run their own businesses have done just that.

    How do you know if the OP takes my advice this will happen?
  21. Stephen Blair
    Could you please explain why my advice is bad?
  22. Stephen Blair
    Pleas do go on, and show me all your evidence of inspection intervals you have had for all of the above in your years of business! Do you know that all of this is covered with a heading of Don't be Stupid. If you want to carry your fuel in Tesco bag in your front seat of the van, you can! No 1 will stop you ! Go on try it! You just get a flammable wet floor and as long as it doesn't ignite, no drama! I won't go on.

    If you are fit, intelligent and with money behind you, then buy van, small chipper, some saws and make up a tree company name, stick it on the side, get some insurance and give it a go. We are not regulated as a trade, you don't need tickets for insurance, learn as you go, build up to bigger stuff and bobs your uncle. Once you realise how simple this job is Conny bashing in back gardens then do some climbing tickets for peace of mind and work hard. Good luck!

    They are no use for dangling, they hurt your dangles! I miss my old seat harness.
