  1. Should have abandoned the blanket and taken to the board…. ….apparently swimming can be as good as physio.
  2. ….. or maybe the question is repeated regularly in a vain attempt to keep everyone on-topic.🤔
  3. Maybe homeowners were considered as having short attention spans.
  4. Hi Stubby, I think it’s a feature of the ‘Homeowner's tree advice forum’. https://arbtalk.co.uk/forums/forum/79-homeowners-tree-advice-forum/
  5. Hanns soothsayer abilities possibly match those of Thomas J Watson in 1943.
  6. Oh bollox. If only I had taken the trouble to get upset, I could finally have become an actual woke net zero lovie.
  7. No doubt the same people who drop slave traders statues into harbours having previously patronised nail bars and hand car washes.
  8. For the record, I’ve asked customers if they’ve got an outdoor socket available before , and no one has ever batted an eyelid. I guess it’s not unusual for a “workman” to want to plug something in. Never needed to use it though, but it never hurts to have a contingency. I also have a vehicle charger, so I could recharge from the truck, a spare car battery or conceivably, the chipper. Never really need to though.
  9. As has been said, select the right tool for the job. A battery saw is bliss* on a scorching day, on the top of a neglected over dense endless conifer hedge, but it’s less use chogging down multiple oak stems. Everyone I know who has embraced battery says also keeps a full complement of petrol stuff for the jobs that need it. Anyone who has launched a 200t out the top of a mighty ash tree, because it has been intermittently been dicking them about, yet again, despite allegedly having just been “sorted out” will appreciate the working / fecked honestly of a battery saw. *relatively.
  10. Alas, I fear you bought your petrol chainsaw opinions to a Stihl battery kombi party.
  11. …. but you would also look a dick going to a customer oh can I borrow some petrol. You highlight bad planning - Petrol saws do not insulate operators from being generally crap.
  12. “NPTC training centre” sounds like the place in Siberia where the assessors get sent if they’ve been caught being naughty.
  13. I used a petrol saw up a tree once. It was also hassle when it fell out of the tree, and I had constant anxiety that it hadn’t got enough fuel to do the job or keep going. Got myself a bowsaw now. Solved.
  14. I bet there’s some WMD out there, if anyone cared to look.
  15. Take some responsibility man! This whole thread was your idea.
  16. Seems like an odd move of the HSE to pretty much hijack their own story with all that prayer business. Surely “A Liverpool motor vehicle repair company has been fined after a vehicle fell from a two-post lift onto a worker, causing life-changing injuries” would have been just as impactful a headline.
  17. Rubbish. I worked with someone who was from Cornwall once, and they were sound.
  18. This is why the wise man doesn’t reveal his political leanings on a public tree cutters forum.
  19. TIL that the world is populated by either: A) People who do what’s right B) Rapists
  20. 🎶 Atmosphere, I love a tractor with an aircon atmosphere 🎶
  21. There may be the occasional exception to this rule.
  22. The lack of Welsh mines is simply a result of the politics of the Welsh parliament.
  23. Bolt

    Series 1?

    Not sure if you’re joking.
