My parents are victims of cowboy tree surgeons who are now blaming my mother.
Bolt replied to rbx1453's topic in General chat
Your mother’s actions would have been less serious than a usual summers worth of rain. Blaming her for a cherry tree doing what a cherry tree does seems as unreasonable as blaming it on an act of god. -

Insufficient info I’m afraid. Were they supposed to fell and grind out the stump? Maybe they were asked to fell by the estate agent, but advised grinding out the stump and roots as well, only to be told by the estate agent that that would be an unnecessary expense….. -

Were the tree surgeons supposed to chop the thing down, or were they supposed to remove it and grind out the stump? -

I don't think so. The ‘cowboy tree surgeon’ label seems a bit harsh. That being said, it also seems unreasonable to point the finger at your mother for simply watering her plants. As has been said, depending on the species, it should be pretty buggered by now. -
Its probably the only bit of a maxus that can trace its history right back to the Freight Rovers.

Old skool ’the far side’. Every ones a classic and always made me chuckle.

It’s a classic. (never eaten a squirrel. Never got past the skinning phase. Anyone who has skinned a squirrel will know why).

Unless of course god themself is a horsefly. If that is the case, it’ll be a bummer for you when you reach the pearly gates.

Good job. Can stand it when people pre-occupy themselves with piffling details.

I guess it’s just me then, but I think it’s one of the most butt-ugly birches I’ve even seen. Sorry.

Plenty of options to keep the whole family’s cocoa warm with that stove!

Live and let live. I will flick pretty much anything out of the way of my cut. if the mulcher then pummels them 20 minutes later, that’s their lookout.

My first thought was a heated battery. I had a similar result when I experimented on how quickly I could discharge a bli200x battery crosscutting gnarley oak.

Nope, 5 power stations and 40 new hospital workers.

Actually, when they started Hinckley C, the press wet themselves as to how high it would push up the cost of electric . If I remember the scaremongering, it could add something like a couple of pence to the cost of a unit of electricity. Wow. Not so expensive now is it!
-
Was it 5 new nuke powerstations proposed the other day? That’s a lotta baseload. All that nighttime electric has to go somewhere!

I that case, maybe the kid that plans the signs still has a bus through his village, and is enjoying rubbing this village’s faces in it. Inter-village rivalry was a big thing where I grew up. Its a miracle my mother isn’t also my aunt.

…and , ironically, diesel. When I was a kid, almost everything ran on petrol other than lorrys (and tractors). Then we were told petrol was bad (lead emissions) and we were persuaded to go down the diesel route. Nice. Still , I’m sure electric vehicles will be fine.

Maybe the streetworks were planned more than a week ago? I would assume they outsourced the spec to a 3rd party, who surveyed the job, programmed it in and made up the required temporary signs. I doubt a single person in that time had the inclination to trawl the local Facebook or WhatsApp groups to check the status of the bus service. Get a spec- meet the spec - get paid.

Does the charger do the same regardless of the battery you put in it?
-
I think you are getting confused with petrol. I can assure you my Neanderthal mono-brow remains in pristine condition.

What’s the most comfortable tree climbing spikes?
Bolt replied to Jamie Jones's topic in Climbers talk
…….thought I was special. Anyway, I still use them. And they are still more comfy than those treehog ones! -

My first set of spikes came out of an electric company skip in the late 90s. The replacement set came out of an electric company skip 10 years later… I can’t say I found either pair that comfortable! -

Sorry…. thought I’d check!
