  1. Aaaaaah, you poor old sod.
  2. Have a check on the warranty because I think Haix offer 2 years. I had a pair of Protector Pro boots that the sole split on after year or more and they sent me a new pair. All I did was send them a couple of pics and the serial number. The only proof of purchase I could offer was that I got them at the APF but couldn't find the receipt.
  3. Never mind Palm Oil, that's pretty sound advice generally.
  4. It's a weigh up between a good rigging job or seeing a woods or tree I planted several years previously thriving.
  5. I would be surprised if they haven't kept a copy of it. If not, send the pictures that you used and the same description. Don't forget to tell them about selling it to buy your new saw.
  6. Put the ball back in their court, send them a copy of the advert inviting them to comment and asking them to contact Gumtree to retract their objection.
  7. Copy them in and let them do the squeezing for you.
  8. I'd get in touch with Husqvarna and ask why they objected, pointing out that, up until now, you have been a loyal Husky user and are selling this saw to help finance the purchase of a new saw. Send the email to the person/department that got your ad pulled and cc the PR and Complaints department.
  9. So in other words, he will have listened to somebody who commented, regardless of what side of the debate they were, to help him decide. Arbtalk scores again.
  10. Sort of defeats the object of asking the question on a forum though.
  11. If you are the bloke I am thinking of, your big selling point is your experience with machinery fitting.
  12. In a word, no. As long as you actually do work, your work has a value to whoever is employing you.Depending on where you are, about £60 to £80, more with experience. What you could do is offer to work for £50 minimum, or what you ask for if they reckon you are worth it. If you do what you reckon is a good day and they only give you the £50, you know that either you aren't worth what you think or they are a pee taker that you don't want to work for. Either way, at least you haven't worked a day for nothing.
  13. Sicko!
  14. Self abuse, badger baiting and embroidery.
  15. Obviously I can't speak for you but personally the only reason I do go to work is to get paid. I'm not a charity.Any work done has a value. I wouldn't have expected to be paid when I first started out what I charge now but working for free is foolish.
  16. If you offer to work for nothing, you will give the impression that you think that is the value of what you have to offer.
  17. I was thinking about survival rate, Jon. Willow and Alder seem to do better in wet ground IME than Oak.
  18. Might be better off with something like Willow or Alder.
  19. If it's in good nick, snap it up before he changes his mind.
  20. An alarm clock that works, a diary you check, a pocket to put your phone in and ears that you use to listen.
  21. Somebody has told them the saw is fake and they have believed them.
  22. Did he ask to see any tickets?
  23. I speak as I find, Harry. I often find myself looking at your kit on eBay and trying to work out if I could smuggle it past SWMBO.
  24. I don't, for one.
  25. Great saw, I have 2 myself. Happy running an 18 inch bar.
