1. Teaching Maths In 1970 A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price.What is his profit? 2. Teaching Maths In 1980 A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100. His cost of production is 80% of the price. What is his profit? 3. Teaching Maths In 1990 A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100. His cost of production is £80. How much was his profit? 4. Teaching Maths In 2000 A logger sells a truckload of timber for £100.His cost of production is £80 and his profit is £20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20. 5. Teaching Maths In 2005 A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. Your assignment: Discuss how the birds and squirrels might feel as the logger cut down their homes just for a measly profit of £20. 6. Teaching Maths In 2009 A logger is arrested for trying to cut down a tree in case it may be offensive to Muslims or other religious groups not consulted in the application for the felling license. He is also fined £100 as his chainsaw is in breach of Health and Safety legislation as it is deemed too dangerous and could cut something. He has used the chainsaw for over 20 years without incident however he does not have the correct certificate of competence and is therefore considered to be a recidivist and habitual criminal. His DNA is sampled and his details circulated throughout all government agencies. He protests and is taken to court and fined another £100 because he is such an easy target.When he is released he returns to find Gypsies have cut down half his wood to build a camp on his land. He tries to throw them off but is arrested, prosecuted for harassing an ethnic minority, imprisoned and fined a further £100. While he is in jail again the Gypsies cut down the rest of his wood and sell it on the black market for £100 cash. They also have a departure BBQ of squirrel and pheasant and leave behind several tonnes of rubbish and asbestos sheeting.The forester on release is warned that failure to clear the fly tipped rubbish immediately at his own cost is an offence. He complains and is arrested for environmental pollution, breach of the peace and invoiced £12,000 plus VAT for safe disposal costs by a regulated government contractor. Your assignment: How many times is the logger going to have to be arrested and fined before he realizes that he is never going to make £20 profit by hard work, give up, sign onto the dole and live off the state for the rest of his life? 7. Teaching Maths In 2010 A logger doesn't sell a lorry load of timber because he can't get a loan to buy a new lorry because his bank has spent all his and their money on a derivative of securitised debt related to sub-prime mortgages in Surrey and lost the lot, with only some government money left to pay a few million-pound bonuses to their senior directors and the traders who made the biggest losses.The logger struggles to pay the £1,200 road tax on his old lorry. However, as it was built in the 1970s it no longer meets the emissions regulations and he is forced to scrap it. Some Bulgarian loggers buy the lorry from the scrap merchant and put it back on the road. They undercut everyone on price for haulage and send their cash back home, while claiming unemployment for themselves and their relatives. If questioned they speak no English and it is easier to deport them at the governments expense. Following their holiday back home they return to the UK with different names and fresh girls and start again. The logger protests, is accused of being a bigoted racist and as his name is on the side of his old lorry he is forced to pay £1,500 registration fees as a gang master.The Government borrows more money to pay more to the bankers as bonuses are not cheap. The parliamentarians feel they are missing out and claim the difference on expenses and allowances.You do the maths. 8. Teaching Maths In 2017. What language will you need the question in?

I wouldn't take it out with me if I bought one. I've got an iPhone for on my travels! There's been a few times when I would love an iPad. When I'm sat lazing around it would be easier to hold than a laptop! I wouldn't pay £100 just to be able to stick something smaller than my fingertip in a gadget!

no question is stupid, just ask them!

mine doesnt mind. i just say its work related! im not as much an addict like others on here, but im following in their footsteps!

i have one of these for work Phone Product Detail - Nokia 2220 Slide Black for 30 squid its easy enough to replace i have an iphone too for personal stuff, ive had 6 iphones, never broken one (touch wood)! had a few in warranty replacements. ive ven dropped it out the tree deliberately onto some woodchip and its been fine! dont use any cases, just an inviisbleshield! i find nokias, any model, are fairly bombproof!

iPad with wifi only ~440£ iPad wifi +3G (mobile Internet) ~540 That's for 16gb memory. Add about 50-60 for double the memory. If I could afford it. I would have had one ages ago. Great for Internet browsing and has some good apps. I have a ho touchsmart laptop. It's a touchscreen but still a laptop to me

looks like his cousins been at it too!

i bet hes got short fingernails! turn the chute upright and hes got a nice gravity fed chipper! chip spreads itself out, no hassle about removing covers when you need to change the blades. Plus, out of every branch he puts in he gets a little one for his fire! double win!

'its so easy even grandad can do it!'

ive used portland braid since last august, been happy with it, nice and lightweight and works good for either natural or pulley rigging.

does the 6000 include them chewing it off instead of using tools? for that cost get a new chipper! for it to warp it would have needed some serious heat and some serious force, they arent made of paper!

i too would like to see an arb related fungi book. I enjoy fungi already and how different they are and like to learn about them. but when i come to look for how it affects trees, its very scarce information, i would definately be down for a copy of it all, in depth sections and in the field bits. Learning the terminology of the fungi helps with their identification. A book/database that would tie a few areas together which are very closely linked in nature but not on paper would be great for anybody.

I'm sure it could be sorted. Could always hide it in a big hole in the ground

I'll get plenty just for you steve! Some vids too! Saves me carting a big trailer round now. No greenwaste cost as we have a place to leave chip on the farm to compost down. Spending money but saving in the long run!

Found it on my phone a while ago!

Was good to meet you too Pete thanks for the demo. I was really impressed! By weds do you mean the 23rd? Or week after? Thanks again Pete

I'm in st helens and have time later in the week if you are interested

I've took the plunge! Managed to get a good deal on an ex demo 18hp. With a free set of blades. Well chuffed! Gonna sort it out this week and have it by next weekend! The demo of the 14hp exceeded my expectations. Did a 40' goat willow and it handled very well did some bigger pieces with it too. Pete showed me the basic maintenance. Which is pretty much the whole chipper! Really good machine. Got some ideas to sort out securing on a trailer. Will have to get the toy first!

60ft sycamore. 34" dbh and 60% hinge was fresh air. Leaning in direction of fell slightly so came over nice!

Seen them all already. Not addicted. http://Www.sidereel.com is where I found them all.

Citroen c1/aygo/pug 107. All have same everything pretty much. I dont exactly drive economically but a full tank which is currently £45 to the brim from almost empty will last a week. 72 mile trip 3 days a week and loitering at weekends. I get between 45 and 50 easily. Drive steady and I've seen 60!

i wasnt allowed to forget. going out for some posh nosh tonight. got a card form moonpig as i could customise it, got it with names carved out in wood! i got some extra points for that!

thats why im a bit hesitant, as id prefer to try some on before i bought a pair, do you have the carbons kev? i could bob over one day to try them on, what size do you have?

I'm very tempted for the carbon spikes good price. Might sell my old ones for them!
