Brexit ! what will this mean ? ( lets get a good thread going )
john p replied to digaholedumper's topic in General chat
It’s 5000 total for Scotland, but ‘Roma’ does not mean they are all foreign, the government report uses the term Roma to cover all travellers/gypsies, of which Scotland has had a healthy population of for the past 500 years, slightly before the eu was formed. -

Aye, that’s the thing though, always tend to be on the heavy stem rigging/dismantling after lunch when tired/dehydrated. That’s why I try and run 2 climbers if poss.

Tensioning up the winch cable on my old Bedford mk with a shagged thrust bearing and broken stop cable, mate had set winch line half way up tree and I started pinching it up, put foot on clutch to stop the winch but it kept pulling as wouldn’t engage (ground anchors were dug in already), front of lorry started coming up, mate still in tree with much cracking and creaking, got lorry up to probably 30 degrees before after frantic stomping the clutch kicked in,. Horrible.

I had a 150 for about 3 years, great saw but really weak plastic s, moved to an echo 2115, seems a bit more robust and defo more grunt, even without drilling the exhaust

I pay one of my lasc climbers £170 a day, he's great at what he does and I can make far more using him for the day for the extra cost of hiring him instead of an average climber, the good money's there for really good staff, use em or lose em!

Reckon my lift pumps shot, nothing happening, put an electric inline pump on the pipe and it fired up, it's what Sunday's were made for, cursing at machines and getting covered in diesel!
