  1. Not the only one 👍
  2. Just wet, wet, wet and then some more for good measure. Finished off a 2 day job this morning, chipping sopping brash and trying to blow the garden back to looking presentable again was no fun. Done by 11.30 and not starting again till Monday when it should have dried out at least a bit 👍
  3. Elbow - omg Guy Garvie sounds so bored with his own music and voice that he’s about t fall asleep while performing. i did actually nod off when they were supporting U2 a few years back. i considered Sade in the same class of sleep inducing singer
  4. Ooh, sense of humour bypass? 🤣🤣
  5. The efi engine has fuel injection so no carb to have problems with. No other experience from me I’m afraid 👍
  6. Wow I’m not surprised- looks pretty lethal!
  7. I believe it’s to keep the boring insects away - not the uninteresting ones, the ones that will damage the timber 😏
  8. I turned one down today too - was doing a standard Connie hedge top and trim, not been done for three years, very patchy and poor condition. First time we’ve done it and the customer is delighted with what we managed to achieve. the next door neighbour has exactly the same continuation of the line and we did them 6 years ago - not touched them since. Was a nightmare to climb through, no footholds, 15ft wide. He knocked me down on price (my mistake accepting that), quibbled over price for fencing we supplied and was generally a pain. He asked me to do his as well straight after today, in the pouring rain - err no! What not today? No not at all - not interested and I recommended he calls someone else. Found out that the kitchen fitter, and a bathroom fitter have both refused to quote him for further work so reckon I dodged a bullet there 👍
  9. Surely it’s just not worth the risk to undertake that journey just for a race? Sometimes you’ve got to admit that things are just not that important to risk life for? Hope he stays safe 👍
  10. Our postie is pretty good and we even get Sunday deliveries on a regular basis. Not more than a mile from the sorting office so if we do miss a signed for it’s easy enough to collect
  11. You may struggle getting much response from Elizabeth 🤣
  12. My initial thought reading the headline was that lump Gemma Collins 🤣
  13. As Mick says. Oaks are usually longer gaps between reductions. We would normally say 5-7 in urban settings, longer depending on proximity to buildings. We have one however that we do every 3 years as by then it’s touching the neighbours gutters. Typical new build estate where the houses are crammed in as close as possible around existing trees. Usual is somewhere between 2 and 3.5m off - lots of varying factors
  14. Morning all 😁 Long day yesterday finishing with 5 friends at ours till 12.30ish. Fair bit of alcohol consumed and getting ready to start all over again next door at 3pm. Log burner roaring and having a chilled morning so far 👍
