The Mail reports that it was the householder that noticed and called 999... in which case, where were his ground crew? London tree surgeon killed in horrific chainsaw accident | Daily Mail Online

Old climbing rope needed to help Red Squirrels.
Hairyloon replied to Gardenmac's topic in General chat
Why specifically climbing rope? -
Oh the browser on the phone is truly dreadful, but it works fine as a WiFi hotspot. I expect they've already got a file on me, but I should hope that it says "mostly harmless".
-
They may make them like that for people who want to leave the carabina permanently attached to the rope.
-
Even then you can probably find work in medical research.
-
But the disadvantage is that you cannot unclip and reclip it. I have a selection. None look like they'll go through without difficulty.
-
I'm not really seeing why I would need to do that. Well yes, I'll know that for next time, but it had never occurred to me that anyone might want a loop that small. Meanwhile I need to decide whether to send the rope back or try it out. I'm hoping someone will convince me what a wonderful idea it is and why I'd be so much better with this one rather than what I am used to. Is not looking promising so far...
-
It doesn't last so long if you use it for an internet connection, but you wouldn't expect it to. I can put up with the ring tones, but not as message alerts, especially as it also uses them for message delivery receipts. I've had to turn mine off. I've not found an option to change the alarm tone, nor the volume: it is too -ing loud. Just hold down the key. It's a bit slow, but it works. I find it a pain to change to capitals and back, but I have to admit that it is the best phone I've had for texting in Arabic.
-
Just chuck a piece of wood on it and play to start with. Sycamore is quite nice to turn and I'm sure you can find a bit of that.
-
Why do you want a tight eye? My new rope just arrived and the eye is so tight I can barely force a carabina through it. Doesn't suit how I climb at all.
-
I bought one. It is very nearly a really good phone, but that's the same kind of "nearly" as in "nearly made it over the chasm". I think the hardware is pretty near the money for what I want: claims a fortnight of standby battery life, can act as a mobile WiFi hotspot or happily tethers via bluetooth or USB. But I get the impression that the programmers who set up the operating system haven't actually used a phone: almost everything about it I think they've got wrong. Hopefully they'll put out a firmware update sometime, or some geeks will hack a fix...
-
Seconded.
-
Curious how they make the distinction. If we mostly do tree surgery with an occasional strimming job once a month or less, then that's professional, but Richard uses his just for the garden at his house (a mansion with 30 acres) and that is domestic...
-
Can anyone advise on the battery specifications for this chipper? Physical size is one thing and easily found, but the more important question is cranking capacity, which is not so easy...
-
Thanks Amen to that.
-
Big blokes then I reckon.
-
Meaning no disrespect, is that a guess or do you know? I as because it looks to me a deal more weighty than a TW 13/75G which officially weighs 188kg.
-
Does anybody know what these chippers weigh? My trailer got stolen and I'm wondering if the one I am looking at as a replacement will take it...
-
Troublemaker. (currently looking for work;)).

I thought conservation areas were earlier than that. :? However, the The Town and Country Planning (Trees) Regulations 1999 gives an exemption for: "5© the pruning, in accordance with good horticultural practice, of any tree cultivated for the production of fruit;" It is I believe, some sort of damson. Granted, up to now it has not been cultivated for fruit, but that is no reason not to start.
-
Which Act is it that covers this?
-
Built up area: not an option. They don't mind the squirrels in general, just don't want them in the house.
-
I have been approached by a lady who has squirrels nesting in her son's bedroom. It seems they are getting in through the eaves via a tree branch. The suggested remedy is to remove the branch, but the tree is in a conservation area. So, the question is: does the indirect hazard of disease from the squirrels make the tree dangerous enough to remove the branch without awaiting permission?
-
There is even a chance that the removal might be covered by the policy. And these days it is difficult to buy a policy that doesn't have legal expenses: if so then you should be chasing the neighbour for replacement as well as removal. Somebody here will be able to tell you how to put a price on that.
