They may be North American P&D books, but there is still a lot in there that is very applicable to the UK. I managed to get my set from a second hand shop, so for a very modest outlay I don't mind them being totally relevant. As Hama says tho, there are better books to help you with your UK idents. (And Ham, you are soooo in for it when I see you next!)

Another vote from me for that! I'm usually a very calm, laidback kinda person, but thare's something about that ad' that really gets hackles up. Grrr

Trees are very resilient and have evolved stratgies for dealing with insects and decay. Trying to cut out the holes and insects makes the wound(s) much larger and gives a bigger surface area for wind blown spores and allows the wood to dry out - which you don't want to happen. You also cut through any barriers that the tree has formed to help prevent the spread of any infection present. It's always best to leave these things well alone as by trying to cut out any problems, you may actually be making the situation a lot worse. There's a lot of divided opinion and research about wound paints, like the one you have used. The general thinking is that while they are not necessarily bad for the tree, they don't do a lot of good either. So if your customer insists that you use it then do so but you actually don't need to.

Hi M, it's hard to make a guess without pics. I initially thought woodpecker dammage, as they make very characteristic rings of holes around the trunk and upper branches. Would that be too big for the damage you have found? Out of interest, why did you decide to cut away the damaged bark and use a wound paint (that looks suspiciously like mud)?

Only when I'm slumming it over in East London. Inside = definately more sensible option, especially for big girls like me! How long did the stairathon take you? And how bad were the disco legs after that???

I think I have just reading your description of it. I'm pretty good when it comes to remembering subjects that I find interesting, but I struggle to remember all the minutae of legislation, etc. You know, the kinda important stuff -

Sickening, isn't it? -
I think if you're ever in a financial position to have one of them, your days of having to work for a living will be well behind you!

With all this reading and research you're doing Ham, do you have any problems retaining the information? -

I read this earlier. I don't think it's something that I'll be trying any time soon. Mad bloke French 'spiderman' scales Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest tower | Mail Online

That's odd, that's the only current provider that I have seen that doesn't say anything about NPTC units to get the full certificate. Everywhere else (that I 've seen recently) lists this course as RFS Cert (Theory) and that you need a mystery amount of the practical tickets to get the full cert'. And noone seems to say what those "requisite amount" of NPTCs are!

Glad it wasn't any more serious and that it doesn't sound as if you done any permanent damage to yourself. Ya silly bugger! I grew up with two older brothers and learnt by proxy about the "fun" of playing with fires and petrol.

So when we get pulled by the police and are politely invited to sit in their car while our details are taken is not against H&S regs but this scenario is? Right, I'm confused . A bit like that poor couple, I should think.

Has anyone else started checking their pocket shrapnel for date-less 20p pieces since they read this post ? I remember when it was originally in the news but I had forgotten about it until now.

Ooh, now that's a proper marque That's really nice. I've always had a hankering after an RL and going back to doing a bit of travelling again. I suppose a driving lisense might be handy at some point...

Cheeky! (still wouldn't be legal though )

Possibly... If they've fallen from the regrowth above I was assuming there was some regrowth from the coppice stools and that we weren't trying to ID stumps

Ooo, shiny new stuff. You're going to have to get yourself another apprentice for kit cleaning duty to make sure it stays that way. Is the tape textile or nylon (or similar)?
