  1. Hi guys,due to illness i need a climber to reduce a thin 50' ash down to 15'. No lowering involved.Give me a call on 07867 764307 or pm me. Thanks, Tim.
  2. 1 idea when caught would be to have "i am a thief" tattood on their forehead,but i suppose the namby pamby brigade would say that it may hurt their feelings.
  3. Kemp may be a little on the dear side,but once you put your name on one, he will go through it with a fine tooth comb and then give you a 6 month guarantee, and he stands by it.
  4. Was hoping for a glimpse of Camilla.
  5. Got a couple of ton of free eucalyptus rings up at my yard,but you'll have to come and clear it up yourself.
  6. Nice work. Showed it to mrs oldwoodcutter as she walked by,and with her in depth knowledge of seals she said it was a brown seal.
  7. One of my young shavers unexpectedly worked up enough of a sweat before lunchtime today to remove his shirt and dazzle passers by. Is this a first for 2013?
  8. Sometimes if i havnt heard back after about a month,and i notice that the job hasnt been done,i ring them and ask if theyve had any more thoughts about the tree/hedge/connies what have you. They either say oh yes when can you do it,or i accepted a quote 1/4 of your price.
  9. Lawn Boy in Downham may be able to help david. Ask to speak to Michael.
  10. I zip clipped my gate permanently open to make it that little bit easier to use,as i have a touch of rhumetism in my right hand,and every little helps.
  11. Depends on how hard they work, and how long the day is. £10 an hour plus if they're draggin and chipping all day. Considerably less if they spend a lot of time rolling fags up,or stand chatting to the customers half dressed teenage daughter for long periods of time.
  12. Who was that transvestite, i saw you with last night? That was no transvestite, that was my wife.
  13. I would come with you ed,but if i brought any more stuff back here i woudn't be able to shut my shed door.
  14. when i was a kid we never even had a kitchen.
  15. young friend of mine has not had a call in 3 weeks.He advertises heavily,employes a groundie as and when,has old but well maintained kit,and works his socks off when he does win some work. So when that long awaited call comes to price up a days job for two,will he quote £300 and hope to get it,or say £500 take it or leave it mrs?
  16. Could be a father and his 2 sons working from a council house,leastways they're trying to get work.
  17. Dont know who won it in the end,just wish it had been me.
  18. Do you think he's using a big enough angle grinder?
  19. Thats a comforting thought when i pull my boots on of a morning.
  20. i can recommend the stihl ht101 Jack,starts and runs lovely.
  21. Enjoyed that, thanks for posting Jack.
  22. Next time you're in asda get a wadge of goose fat,warm it up and brush it in.
  23. Tell them to dip each log in a pail of water before throwing it on fire.
  24. The client is asking Dave for a day rate,so normally that doesn't mean getting the biggest plant in and doing it all in a day. All cord and logs left on site,so lot ground saw work,and only 'top & lop' to be burnt up.
  25. With only two of you,ide allow 2 weeks. Ime sweating just looking at it.
