But, as @daltontrees has already said, for chainsaws, PUWER 98 makes it completely black and white: "All workers who use a chainsaw should be competent to do so. Before using a chainsaw to carry out work on or in a tree, a worker should have received appropriate training and obtained a relevant certificate of competence or national competence award, unless they are undergoing such training and are adequately supervised. However, in the agricultural sector, this requirement only applies to first-time users of a chainsaw." For the workplace (except agriculture) workers should have received appropriate training and obtained a relevant certificate of competence or national competence award. simples.

Not convinced that statement actually passes fact checking.

I found that every climb in a T22 was, in effect, a trial.

I doubt it is as ‘memorable’ as a Willans T22.

Seems a little harsh, not all cyclists are so selfish that they just ride on the pavement. There are plenty that stick to riding on the road.

Nice. I never buy newspapers, so I use the money I have saved to buy old-skool Zip firelighters which I set fire to under my free bone dry kindling.

When I was younger and foolisher I would probably have stuck it in a vice and tried to straighten it with pliers and hammer. Now, I would just replace it in a heartbeat. By the time that bit of bent metal has seen forced back, it will be so stressed and weakened, you will effectively have nothing more secure than a plain gate karabiner. If whatever happened to bend it whilst new reoccurred in the future, I can’t see it putting up much of a fight!
-
The gate damage looks like what I would imagine if force had been applied to open it whilst the collar wasn’t fully rotated. Did you use anything to ensure the karabiner stayed properly orientated?

Zigzag or zigzag plus?

Definitely.

Wouldn’t that be premature ‘treejacyuleation’?

That would make it a ewe hedge.

Childish…. And inaccurate, as you have clearly only drawn two of his three nuts.

*that, and that the battery has probably just fallen out.

Old Renault, and a couple of tins of gloss…. Bargain of the century.

Not sure about this one if anyone can assist

Is it an actual tree, or more like a shurb? -
I run a collection of 70s and 80s Homelites for a number of years on premixed Aspen, without a single problem so far.

Why are Horticultural professionals SO devalued?
Bolt replied to Trailoftears's topic in Landscaping
Charities are crap payers, because their staff will work for below normal wages. This applies to their catering staff, cleaning staff, office staff, shop staff, maintenance staff. It has always been thus. It is nothing new, the current cohort are in no way disadvantaged over previous generations. -

Too many people are available to willingly work for a pittance. They are the issue here, not employers. Surely employers pay the amount of money necessary to fill their vacancies. -

I don’t work for charities any more. This is not a coincidence. -

I don’t think you can compare the NT to ‘normal’ employers by any stretch of the imagination.
