Government scrapping wildlife protections?
Matthew Arnold replied to Harrison2604's topic in General chat
My dad is part of the NHS as a paramedic. He has been a paramedic for nearly 35 years and holds many records for station to job and saved 100s maybe even 1000s of lives. He is still at the top of the table for the least amount of patients taken to hospital. Sadly there are people in the NHS who do everything by the book and take every Tom, Dick and Harry into the A & E. They are the ones who clog the beds for the seriously injured, disabled, etc. I am proud that my dad is a paramedic and he has helped me and my colleagues at times when he have needed is expertise. -
Judging by the cover for the hours dial its been abused something rotten. Gonna need a new set of boots soon as well.

It is getting annoying now with all of the kit being nicked. Last week our second towhitch was stolen from our defender. It was locked in place with a solid padlock and was then chained to the chassis in a really awkward place. It was stolen from a local supermarket car park too. We now have these stickers. Not much of a detterent i know

The last one was a bit shaky coz of the wind but other than that they all came out crystal clear.

Just reading through the thread. It has gone from just a simple question into almost a full blown slanging match. For god sake guys grow up a bit.

Its lost its top a few times and is hollow. Never been pruned either so a completely unmanaged tree next to the main town bridge. There was a bigger one on the other side but it fell into the river during a flood.

If and when i get my new camera i shall get pics of a local shooting estates monster quad bike. Its based on a Polaris 800 EFI but has a 1400cc Hayabusa tuned v4 i have rode this beast to pick up cartridges for a team of double guns and all i can say is. My god is shifts. Even with 2,500 cartridges on front and back.

The arb team at our council has an open topped bus that they use to lop off branches to the minimum height required. Ive helped them chip up the branches as they go along with polesaws taking branches off. Good fun watching them do it. So many big dents in the rails.

Good shot by mother nature there. Missed the fence but only took out the gate. When i down west (dorset) next i shall hopefully get some pics of a tree that failed 2 days ago. Was a twin stem Sweet Chessie that has split both directions. Going to leave it alone as tree is safe and rootplate(s) are still attached.

It was alive but only just. Whilst our inhouse tree officers were bickering like children about the best solution for the trees fate it dropped its crown which subsiquently killed the tree turning it into a deadwod monolith. After the tree had done this both tree officers were happy that the tree was safe and now low enough to miss the road.
