  1. not in Thetford it won't They walk through coned-off areas, duck under tape etc. May aswell not have anything.
  2. £3k+vat In all seriousness though, no one can help you without pictures and knowing how much % reduction you are talking about.
  3. I just extract leccy from the street light outside my house.
  4. Why is he giving drink to kids, what's he getting out of it? I hope it's perfectly innocent and he's just an idiot.
  5. can you get a big refund?
  6. As said, a sheet of ply for each side of the roof to stop any rogue stubs/twigs, then rigging/cut and chuck (silky of course ). I admit i do think 'here we go' to myself when i've got such a tree, but its our job....
  7. They're good for one handed 020 bandit's like the guy in your avatar

    Reduction

    Might be worth a read.... Untitled Document
  9. Luckily I have never used a basic prussic in commercial tree work, just at college. As soon as i passed college, i bought the HC set up from honeybros HitchClimber Friction Hitch System That was 2 and a half years ago and i think my climbing has improved much quicker than if i used a prussic. also, a mini pulley and mini VT knot on your lanyard is much better. one handed rope work!
  10. Beautiful! I could live there quite easily.
  11. I don't think it's too busy, although I think i can see where your coming from. From a distance you can pick out the simple forms of the green, brown and blue. Up close you get to see the beauty of the drawing. Perfect for a truck, letter head, business card...
  12. Amazing! It's kind of got a tree of life feel to it. The hare is a really nice touch. I'd love a design like this rather than a computer generated one.
  13. People on £26k+ are the exception. They are the baby factories with around 10 kids. This country rewards having a dozen kids with no job whatsoever. What a difference to China's policy!
  14. just up the road actually. we do all the breckland council work in thetford, so unfortunately we're on abbey farm quite alot. reason for removal, it was leaning towards the house, with all the growth on the house side.

  16. erm wtf captaincambium??? andy, that looks wicked, i've always wanted to convert a hilux to a tipper. may i ask how much?
  17. bts would be your nearest trainer i guess. or somewhere in london, depends if your north or south essex
  18. Looks like a nice job. and the weather looks lush (not that i'm jealous, sitting here in my long johns )

    Chuck Norris

  21. it's because we're all hippies at heart (even if we don't all dress/look like one) for the record, i don't smoke. although i would rather be made to smoke roll ups for 5 years than straights for a week.
  22. that's quite a handy mewp on the back of your landy!
  23. not sure if this is a repost but hey ho.... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzaXMzYFtSM]Timberjack , Walking tree cutting robot - YouTube[/ame]
  24. Has anyone been watching 'New Girl' on ch4? Zooey Deschanel is something else
  25. also interested in this. i've got a 13mm yale xtc rope which isn't exactly the nicest. i was hoping to get a 9m ce lanyard off ebay last night, but it was sold for a bit too much.
