Yep,lads and i knocked some trees over that had to be done on a sunday last week,and the lady,who up to that point had seemed a right dragon,brought us out 4 bacon butties(as there were 4 of us) at 11,along with hot drinks n bickies. Changed my opinion of her there and then.

A tip well worth knowing in the drinks department,is to always take the tray,and empty mugs/glasses back and knock on the door they came out of with a smile and a thankyou,rather than leave them down the bottom of the garden getting filled with sawdust all day. That way, the provider may make you some more later in the day,specially if you then say 'we normally stop at 12 for a drink and a sit down' or some such.

Yep,kick back is the killer and someone new to top handled saws who has not been trained gets lulled into a false sense of security when using it one handed on the ground. Thats why they shouldnt be on e bay, to possibly maim the unwary purchaser,imho.

people that resort to stealing are well down the scum scale,but looting,well that should be punishable by death.

Went couple of years ago,thing that annoyed mrs was that blinking helicopter buzzing about all the time at quite low level,told me she wouldnt be going to that show again - oh well. -
That's a good one Barrie,made me laugh.

Yes,that would cause a bit of a flap.

I always ask them to clear up afore we get there,but more than likely some gets missed,nothing worse than gettin it round the base of your trousers off your boot. And many a time ive stood in the dark back at the yard getting it off truck pedals,or the rungs of a ladder or tripod with a bucket of jeyes fluid and a frozen scrubbing brush.

When ringing up on the concrete yard all day i wear a pair my son in law got me from royal navy,heavy duty,velcro,and top quality,dare say you could get a pair from a surplus store.
