    Well you only get one pair of eyes to last you all your life. If my lads havn't got their own glasses i give them a pair,and after that if they're not wearing them,i want to know why.

    A fairly local firewood supplier,and a member of a.t. has run out and kindly passed on my number to 1 of his customers who wanted logs in a hurry. I explained to the customer on monday that i would have to go out on tuesday and cut some cord up and split it for her. Delivered it first thing this morning and she was over the moon,as it was a freezing cold day yesterday,realy thankful and appreciative. Made up for being frozen stiff in a way.

    Yes,the visor doesnt stop the dust Gand,the last time i had my eyes tested,when they have a good look right in your eyes,he saw lots of little scars,asked what i did for a living, and told me to always wear close fitting safety specs if i want to keep my eyesight.

    Was at a rather stuffy bbq last summer,and another tree man that i vaguely knew, who seemed equally bored, came over and after introducing ourselves he remarked on the large sycamore in our hosts garden. I told him ide already dismantled it down to the stump in my minds eye,and he admitted he'd done the same earlier.

    Thats bad.

    I continue to make an effort with attitude and image but sometimes wonder if its worthwhile. Nowadays it seems that potential customers are only going to give you the work if you are £25 cheaper than any of the last 6 contractors that walked through their gate in the last few days.

    Mate of mine couldn't get artic round to the back of his yard,so he got the driver to grapple it from the street right into his front garden. That gave the locals something to chunter about for a while.

    There's some cheap operators hereabouts,but with competition like that i think ide call it a day and retire tomorrow.

    Crumbs,i didn't like the look of that.

    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.

    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.

    Was hoping for a glimpse of Camilla.

    Got a couple of ton of free eucalyptus rings up at my yard,but you'll have to come and clear it up yourself.

    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.

    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?
  24. oldwoodcutter
    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.
