    Well i dont know much about drugs,but i do have my share of rough diamonds and young street fighters that come out on jobs with me,havn't seen any proof of drugtaking,but if i did then they wont get a second chance. This job is dangerous enough without making a rope for your own neck.

    "Oh,sorry about that" When that back lawn (which was like a lovely bowling green when priced)is now overgrown and every square foot has a heap of dog muck on it.

    If it glows green,leave it alone.

    Previously individuals have paid me the going rate for it,but that time i offered it to the respective chairmen of the two local clubs. When they came into the yard it was obvious they'd like it for next to nothing,and expected me to deliver it all. Out of the corner of my eye i noticed them wink at each other behind my back and it was then i decided ide got better things to do than be the next chump.

    Hi ed,have the water levels dropped round your precinct yet?
  13. oldwoodcutter
    Hope you sell them mate. Offered a nice lot to the local turners and carvers and by the time they'd looked at my stack of yew by the cord heap,shook their heads and sucked their teeth,i didn't bother. Logged it up for firewood and made twice as much.

    Blinkin stuff,the older i get the more intolerant of it i become. Rotweiller is the worst.

    I have two regular customers that i get calls from to carry out tree work,that are known as upper class - 1 lives in a castle and the other a stately pile,and the first time i drove into their grounds i wondered what to expect,as ime about as working class as a border collie. Get on well with them,one expects you to prefix his first name by 'sir' when you talk to him, and the other cust whose husband is never about very much,prefers to be addressed as 'my lady' ,which is no problem. Both families have lived there since the reformation,dont drive new range rovers,and will wander over to where ime working and ask if ide like a cup of tea. They can afford to pay for whatever they want,and to employ whoever they like,and as long as they keep phoning me up,i'll keep accepting their big red banknotes.

    The fireworks start when introducing a ferret when there's a doe rat down there with young. Some ferrets will sense her and come straight out.For those that want to go and face up,well there's often only one outcome.

    One simple tip,make sure the tractor you use has a clevis type drawbar hitch with a tow pin in it, if thats where you're attaching your cable or bull rope to. I once saw a hawser under tension slip off one of those pointed ball type auto pick-up hitches on a tractor,nearly took a young fella's head clean off his shoulders.

    An old pal of mine,sadly now in that big compartment in the sky,used to have use of a big shed on a farm overrun with them. One day he saw a rat on a high shelf in the corner of his shed,as he was unarmed,he grabbed a handy length of 2 x 2 and as he was about to swing it the rat jumped into his face,and its claw somehow took his eye out. Ive always been wary of a cornered rat since then.
  21. oldwoodcutter
    Thats the way to do it.

    Got a nice tip from a customer the other day. Said to put a good layer of bullock muck in the bottom of the trench when planting out celery.
