Be very careful with the roots and keep as much soil as you can attached to them. Once transplanted, water little and often, if its only been in a year you should be ok if you take your time with the roots Jonny

Or me? Sounds like a decent hard working bloke!

Very sorry to hear about this distressing news, what a tragedy.

Interesting alternative there Huck. About 15 years ago I bought a standing Oak for £150

Sorry Guys Ignore that last post, I was working my way up from where I left off and hadn't realised we had started to wind the Barroness thing down. Did I hear logs mentioned?

You have just described New Labour to a "T" Sean.

Well if you're ever standing in a General Election Eddy you can count on my vote, well said.

No Rich he does not work for me and that is not animosity it is just my opinion of his original post, I certainly don't think I am whiter than white, on the contrary actualy. If Alistair had once acknowledged that they broke every rule in the book rather than trying to capitalise from his foolishness I could have understood, the whole story dosen't add up for me and I still feel that way. Even our local didicoy tree felling type things would have had a couple of youths with stolen stop-go lollipops on traffic duty.

Saw my first one about 2 hours ago, magic.

£80 will only buy you a serious headache David, can you not loan the money from a bank or family member and buy new?

Excellent post Alex RIP Margret Hilda Roberts, evil old bag etc etc, I thank you for the positive changes you introduced during your term as PM of the UK JonnyVine

I take it you not married then Dean?

Lyn With all respect mate you are guessing, "probably did" and "apears to me" is speculation, exactly the same thing you pulled me up on but on the other side of the fence. A risk assessment is the fundamental part of any works to a tree, and should involve everyone involved, form top to botton so that if something does go wrong then everyone knows what to do and can act, QUICKLY! This is how Myself and thousands of others were taught, the other way raises the old saying "not if, but when", so, in my opinion it is not an accident and if Alistair did not want comments that don't comply, why make it public knowledge how negligent he had behaved in the fisrt place? Alistair, YOU got involved in a situation that had every hallmark of turning Pear Shaped, you put your groundie in extreme danger and you illegaly blocked a road with your own vehicle, so personaly, if your able to compete again so soon You came out of this very lightly. Dont worry too much about having had to sell the kit, you can soon buy more and its all tax deductable. Have a prosperous year Jonny

I would be very, very surprised if anyone commenting here Loved Margret Thatcher Sean, that would definitely be perverse, but just becase there are some posting here that are not full of monosylabic hate dosent make them Thatcher lovers, I personaly feel that by the end of her premiership she had done marginaly more harm than good, but what the so-called lovers have been so eloquently pointing out is the shabby state the UK was in when she came to power and she made things much better, no one yet has said she put things RIGHT!

But the khmer Rouge wer ousted in 1978, Thatcher didn't come to power until 79?

Only when I'm not felling trees

That is the fundamental thing that the Thatcher Goverment gave us, (it wll sound ludicrous to the Antis) Equal opportunity to Prosper! It made no diference if you had just finnished a degree or finnished as a miner with no education, in the 80's oportunity was rife, those with the desire to work did very well, those that just sat on their RS complaining got and deserved nothing, like wuss has already said, they stll have nothing today! Well I suppose they still have their bitterness.

PROFESIONAL; Anyone that parks his van across a road with a 60mph speed limit to stop traffic while a lunatic with a chainsaw drops a tree across it is not a profesional. A profesional would have walked away (with a an anual of £120k he hardly needed the coin) as soon as he could see things were not going in a profesional manner, traffic lights, adequate manpower etc, this man was an accessory to the circus act, he had willingly joined in, which brings me to believe this was not a one-off fiasco, it is standard operating procedure for this crowd hence the high anual figures. Also most profesionals have public liability, profesional indemnity, personal accident insurance etc.

Hi Jon I would google it mate, or better go and talk to a farmer that does contract work. Round here the contracting farmers sometimes do 50 miles a day Jonny

Spot on Steve

Can we move to another of her policies? We seem to be getting stuck with agressive comments and hate. Strangely I have not heard one Iota about the Poll Tax? Perhaps Egnsean is right and we have too many Juniors adding comments, the Poll Tax was her biggest unfair move IMO, It was crippling for me but I dont Hate her for it!?

Hahahahaha, 30 years? I could almost find that hard to believe had I not encountered this type myself. Hes typical of the whingeing, sorry for himself, complaining, bone Idle parasite that has infested the UK for 40 years. This birk was probanly one of the BL nightshift shirkers that had a bed behind the packing cases. A proper human would have been too embarassed to say that on National Radio!
