If its any consolation Jon, i took mrs up to hospital in the middle of the night few weeks ago. I put a 3 hour ticket on but didnt remember the time. When i came outside to buy another ticket they had put a sticky fine on my screen as i had gone over by 15 minutes or so. It was £50 reduced to £25 if paid within so many days. So i paid up. -
Yes thats right Mike,I have it in the back of my mind that the FC also rolled an enormous amount of the '87 timber into a lake or reservoir and kept it in there for quite a spell to keep it fresh, that was over Brandon way too,cant exactly remember where though.

Yes i saw that, i said to mrs oldwoodcutter "oh look at that silly fellow" or words to that effect. She continued knitting a babys cardigan, completely disinterested.

Wonder if they suffer from the timber fairies helping themselves of a sunday morning.

My trucks are not sign written,and never will be.

Whats not so funny is what has happened to a couple of log sellers that talk to me, one tipped up beside a newish bmw and a log bounced out and creased his customers rear passenger door, for which the bill came to something like £3K , and the other tipped up as usual and ripped out a 1000 volt abc that ran over his customers yard , he told me that uk power networks sent him an invoice for £4k, for about 4 men and 2 cherry pickers to re-install.

Sorry to hear that Garth.

This is my thinking too, as well as my cards and trucks being free of invitations to take my stuff, i also pay to advertise here there and everywhere, but you wont see my address on any of those adverts.

Dont know whether ive mentioned this before,on a hot day we'd done 3 different jobs round and about and none of those customers had offered any refreshment,on the fourth job things looked as bad with a miserable old biddy in a rubbish choked garden. Just afore we finished she surprisingly asked us if we'd like a coke, i think i had 3 youngsters with me and they said yes. Out she comes with 4 mugs and 1 can of coke and equally pours the contents of the can between the 4 mugs. For once they were speechless for a few moments.

For me its not the time thats the issue, its having got down there to tie them, its the getting back up again thats the problem.

Another day at the office, eh Marcus

Will we still be able to shoot wolves with lead , or will they come under steel legislation?

Whilst turning up to do some hedgetrimming the other day,i noticed a small heap of logs in the customers driveway. As we were getting our stall set out i asked the fellow how he came by them. He said he'd got them off a local log man and seemed happy to have paid £120 "for a ton load" . This was for what i saw as knotty wet corsican that looked to have been felled about a week ago, and at most would have filled into 5 wheelbarrow loads.

Brings back a few memories,spent a year on a D7 in 1970/71. Messed my ears up,and my back.

Thats the best bit of team work ive seen this week.

Well the problem has been solved Felix, short term leastways, one is having a little holiday in norwich, courtesey of her majesty,due to letting his temper get the better of him one night, and another cut the end of his finger off with a stanley while laying his kitchen carpet saturday morning. Short handed yes,but breathable air in my truck now.

Well on Friday i got myself 10 litres of aspen 2, and today ran 2 hedgecutters, a climbing saw and my new dolmar ground saw on it. No headache,no sore throat tonight, no gagging when hedgetrimmer puffing in my face. Hopefully i will live a little longer now.

I was looking at that plug socket, never seen one like that before.

You make me laugh Felix

If a few more treeworkers around norfolk win work by taking it on at £150 a day, i think i'll be spending even more days drinking tea in front of my logburner this winter.

I sympathise with you Dom, i hear more swearing regarding these caps than any other piece of kit. Having a touch of rheumatism doesnt help,so i often leave the filling up to others.

Yes, Tony is top man to sort out security like that.

This is the sort of video that makes my blood run cold.
