  1. I think mainly it is ‘belt and braces’. They don’t want to give the insurance companies any excuses to not pay out. Also one client has about 15 employees and with the business to run, does not have the time to carry out the Inspections. It use to take him all weekend!
  2. I actually have clients who are qualified LOLER Inspectors. Who now employ me to do there LOLER’s for that reason. So definitely check with your insurance. Martyn
  3. Sorry Wes. I sold the business nearly 10 years ago. I just do LOLER Inspections now. You will probably get the best price if you order it online. honeybros.com Martyn
  4. It would definitely fail a LOLER inspection, if I would be carrying out the test. Martyn
  5. They are also on The Costa Almeria around the Mojacar area, when we were down that way recently. Which is 3 hours east of Malaga. More in the hills than on the coast though. Martyn
  6. Hi How urgent? I can fit you in at the end of the month, but probably a bit to late! Martyn Honey
  7. Yes I know what you mean. I watched the whole of the 1966 finals, remembering The Argentina team walking off 3/4's through the game. Eusebio scoring a penalty for Portugal in the semi and of coarse the final on a very small black and white TV in the lounge! I think that's definitely what got me into football. Oh well young team, see what we can do in the Euro's! Martyn
  8. Hi Timon How did you get on in Spain with the saws and how was the weather? Martyn
  9. Hi Chris I can carry out your LOLER inspection, but I am not in your area until late April, if you can wait that long. Martyn
  10. My first harness was made by Barrow Hepburn the GT76. No leg loops and no padding, the only safety feature was if you could see red through the grey webbing, it had been strained! The harnesses where made in Battersea and where basically a copy of the USA climbing saddle. But did the job In the early seventies. Minimum order was only 100 a time. Martyn
  11. Mine was a Mac 6 not a bad saw for the seventies, no chainbrake but a good climbing saw for the times Martyn
  12. This was in Beijing at the fragrant Gardens a few years ago! Martyn
  13. Great water image shots too. [emoji106] Martyn
  14. Try these people they are Stihl dealers and hire machines. They might be able to help Martyn
  15. I have brought back a few chainsaws, mainly top handle Stihl's, from Spain, when the pound was at a good rate! I just put them in my large suitcase, but these where new and always insisted that the dealer didn't run them before hand and leave them in the box. Not sure you would get away with that with used machines. Have you thought about driving? Martyn
  16. Believe it or not. Amazon do them, with a choice ! Martyn
  17. Hi Pete I thought you might want it done before Christmas, I cannot do it until January. If you can’t find anyone else let me know on 07760 692984 or [email protected]
  18. How quickly do you need it done and is it one kit or a few? Martyn
  19. Just a few of a large selection Martyn
  20. Have you tried Clear insurance? They have a scheme called Arborplan on 01483 274782 Martyn
  21. Some people don’t know what they are talking about! To start with Surrey has the most densely populated woodland per hectare in England! As long as you don’t need to walk in 15 minutes to a train station, house prices are not to bad. Where Rhys lives is a good example, and I agree with him you see more John Deere’s and Massy’s than Chelsea tractors! Martyn PS not sure about the bad language as well.
  22. I can vouch for the good kit! I LOLER his kit and has a lot and the latest equipment and in good nick as well. A really nice set up. Martyn
  23. If I remember right that was standard in CT, although when I last used our one, it was about 35 years ago! Martyn
  24. I was trying to say before finger trouble, I didn’t see that Marc
