I gotta Grade 2 CSE in English, I’ll have you know…. I’m not going to waste that level of knowledge if I can help it. -
Well, as you accused me of being the ‘grammar police’ for making one single isolated comment, I thought I had offended your sensibilities. Pretty much everything I post on this forum is flippant. It’s got me into a fair bit of grief in the past, I can assure you!
-
……and anyway, it was punctuation I commented on, not grammar.
-
Now now, don’t be like that. You asked how it could have been confusing. I just thought you may appreciate someone actually giving an actual answer to one of your questions. Sorry.

Telescopic with fly gib and a height / outreach of about 3m more than the one you find yourself currently using.
-
I was a bit confused by the punctuation (or lack thereof). In the end I settled on: ”No ifs or buts. Cliff, put his name and address up.”

An alternative read…

They do appear to have tidied up the site very nicely before leaving though.

The line looks like single phase ‘aerial bundled conductor’. The vicinity zone of it is 1m, so to put it highly simply, nothing should intrude on this clearance. To maintain that clearance most DNOs would specify cutting more to allow for the inevitable regrowth. Exactly how much more will depend on the DNO, based on their interpretation of regulations, engineering recommendations, safety rules and contracts with tree firms. It is difficult from a photo to gauge distances. Even using points of reference such as the height of the 30mpg sign against the height of the uncut canopy, the overall height of the tree, the width of the verge or the position of the footpath it’s difficult to estimate that as a 3m (or pretty much 10ft) clearance.
-
Is the picture showing the old 1m clearance or the current 3m clearance?

1/10 for wit and relevance.

Another change in your story there then. I’m not sure you can be bothered to remember a single thing you have written. 3/10 for effort.
-
As Joe said, funny though.
-
Surely this as all fantasy? The way it’s written makes it sound like the DNO produced a document stating that they ‘approved’ some random landowner having a go at removing branches that were up and through their live power line? Don’t think so somehow. I think we’re being drip-fed a particularly poor example of creative writing.
-
…..but in your original post you wrote it was their tree. Pay attention.

Sorry, but under no circumstances does 33.112.(C.02) grant any exemption that permits the ‘blasting’ of little mermaids.

Good to see that each hornet has been individually named.

I would assume that’s where the rat smoking hose attaches to that @Muddy42 mentioned earlier.

I think you will find that they park on either these: or these:
-
Maybe, but I always assumed the pickup size was directly proportional to the inability to park considerately during the school run.
-
Yeah, that looks about par-for-the-course. You would, however, be a bit miffed if you had burnt through a tank of aspen in 15 minutes cutting through that with a 200t.

Battery saw run time time seems far more affected by what you are doing than petrol equivalents. General trimming back, pruning and dainty conifer dismantling easily gets you a morning on a T540i and a bli200x battery, but clogging down an oak stem with bar fully buried in the wood gets about 20 minutes. When I put my heart into it, I think my record to flatten a fully charged battery is about 7 minutes (firewood logging). The battery gets nice and hot when you do this, and the charger won’t recharge it till it’s cooled off a touch.

Not really. PUWER just treats chainsaws differently to all other bits of work equipment. For all the ‘non-chainsaw’ stuff mentioned above, it’s up to the employer to identify and implement adequate information, instruction, training and supervision.
-
In general, yes, but for chainsaws PUWER makes it clear: “workers should have received appropriate training and obtained a relevant certificate of competence or national competence award”. Some jobbing gardener, or passing tree surgeon is not likely to be going to be handing out a relevant certificate of competence or national competence award.
