There's usually 1 every year that tries it on,you did the right thing,i tell them the best thing they can do is buzz off while ime still in a good mood.

6 or 7 ton ide say,be suprised if it was more.

Sounds about par for the course.

Another one of Deano's brainwaves

That little diesel engine looks ripe for a conversion to steam while you're at it mate. -
Just stuck my emergency call-out rates above each phone so if mrs oldwoodcutter happens to take the call,she'll know exactly whats what.

Used to take a cod liver oil and glucosamine,but stopped few months ago as i dont want prostate cancer. Just have a multi-vitamin tablet daily now,rightly or wrongly.

I rely on a little wooden weather house box that hangs outside the door.If its going to be a fine day then the woman comes out. If the man comes out,of course then you're going to be in trouble.

joe public walking into cordoned off areas

Postmen are one of the worst offenders,they will go through hell or high water to get that letter into the letterbox.They seldom wait,more often they come walking through when you're back is turned,completely unconcerned about sawdust,dropping topwood,or whole trees coming over. -
One of lifes big mysteries why land rover have never made a disco pick up,they been coughing them out for over 20 years,and must have lost a fortune in lost sales by not producing one.

Had a would-be custumor phone tonite who said 'you sell seasoned hardwood dont you?' As if it was something only available on the black market. He has previously been supplied with cubes of corsican that was still upright 3 weeks before delivery as i saw a competitor dumping it off a few weeks ago,and he's paid £120 for the privalidge. Taking him some of mine out tomorrow.

Ide heard that too dave,something to do with human rights,as those constantly on the move obviously dont have an address,and have to be treated as special dispensation,and paid cash as part of their business.

Those cable alarms Andy mentioned seem like a good idea,have to get some. My 2 lads have both done time for street fighting and would not hesitate to throttle any scum that put their arm inside my pick-up,but if we're all in someones back garden those cables would indeed be handy.

Misery,the connie hedge reductions when you cant get inside or round the back,but looked straight forward when i priced it. Serendipity Today started on a 200 metre connie hedge removal,priced it to cover a monumentous drag of 150 metres to where my chipper and farm dump trailer where.First thing the head gardner says is 'you can use the 2 john deere garden tractors and trailers if you want'.So the arb trolley stayed on the truck and i think god willing that we shoud now be finished a day and a half early this week.
-
Two people and a chipper and you wouldnt be hanging about to clear that lot in a day. Ide say £600 take it or leave it,mate or not.

Rode in my mates 55 plate defender this morning,we did i suppose a 50 mile round trip. I fell out of it back at my yard and could hardly stand up straight for half an hour.

Little tinkers.

Its not usual to find a chipper hirer that will charge you hourly,its normally a daily rate,no matter what time you collect it/have it delivered,or when you're finished with it.

The whole inside will also have to be completely redesigned to comply with all the airbag legislation.

Like to think ime pretty open minded,but i think baiters deserve to have a parting put in their hair by a swift swipe with their own spade.
-
I simply tell them to buzz off.
-
I just hope the new one has somewhere to put your arms.

Pal of mines got one 3 or 4 years old and he moans that he only gets 300 miles from £70 odd, and he dont thrash it.

One of the first mods i did to mine was fill the tubes with green slime,a trolley with a puncture is unusable just when you want to be getting on.

Economoics of Importing Wood from Eastern Block countries
oldwoodcutter replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
You're not wrong there Steve,a 'firewood merchant' local to me is putting corsican onto his processor and delivering it out,that i know for a fact was still growing 3 weeks ago. -
Just when you thought you'd seen everything.
