  1. Well I'm not going to get another 261- I've officially had enough of this model and I won't be recommending them. Stihl should have changed my saws over for new ones knowing they have a problem. Are not the dealers saying anything. Thinking 550 or Dolmar (have to check with the guy who fixes whether parts will be an issue) although 362 looks a candidate. I'm afraid at the moment its a bit of a love/hate with stihl.
  2. OK But if this is the case, could you not just say you sold the fruit. We used to. It supplemented my pocket money when I was younger. I know I'm clutching at straws but would be good to know how much you can or cannot do. When you live in a conservation area it galls a bit when the council won't allow you to fell a tree that you had planted 20 years earlier. So it's nice to know how far you can bend the rules.
  3. Can any future green deal please be backdated to allow me some RHI with our wood heating= log burners. I don't see why these are left out as they are surely greener than solar and more local. Does RHI only apply to green energy that would be uneconomic to install without a subsidy.
  4. Officially= Company director Actually= ask the lads.
  5. Excellent craftsmanship and inventive use of materials. You've found a customer who appreciates your talents and it makes their B&B shine out as different which must help their business no end.
  6. As they are fruit trees surely you don't need any permission?
  7. Thats what I thought But BT said they didn't supply and wasn't their problem I too thought it was a bit like power supply. One firm supplied the facility any other provided the power supply.
  8. Do you really need to work sundays. Are you that desperate for cash This is xtras isn't it. Not company work
  9. That would be the dream We found out BT didn't supply the neighbour It was some other telecoms firm Waiting to find out the outcome 30metres telecom wire, 1 hours work= ?
  10. Yes thats what I mean= broke The homeowner was a business down the road who just said. You bust it you fix it when we first went round. They couldn't take credit card payments and shut for the afternoon.
  11. We recently took out a telephone line running over a property we were working at. We had 4 to contend with so it was always a possibility. The line was to a house 4 doors down. My thought was... Were we legally liable for this damage as in effect the line was trespassing (maybe a bit harsh but you know what I mean) over our customers garden. Any thoughts appreciated ( apart from the obvious) especially if you have first hand experience of this sort of thing.
  12. You know you're going to go back and check out what they did for the money. It sounds too cheap. Maybe she is going to get stung with xtras:biggrin:
  13. Nearly forgot..... Not Question is will Twelvetrees play his outstanding game or his crap game. Manu's hard shoes to fill Will Farrell have the confidence to control the backs Will Englands recent good form just be a flash in the pan
  14. Please tell How did you deal with it Mark?
  15. Road signs not positioned proper Probably have done with a few more cones Hi vis already mentioned. If cyclist was hit then it was tree guys fault as outside work zone. Classic case of groundie trying to direct traffic and be a groundie= cost cutting Truth is this could have been any of us and we should just take it as a warning. By the way- when cycling I am bristling with focus and I love the way it makes you feel alive. Danger is sometimes good. Can't believe anyone could blame the cyclist.
  16. OK A bit of advice please We have had 2 ms261's and both have had issues almost from the start. One has been fixed and turned out to be a good saw. Unfortunately one of the lads left it on site yesterday (dodgy housing estate) and it's gone. Not surprising. What should I now do. Stick with Stihl or go Husky again. And if I change back which saw should I get. I've been away too long.
  17. Have been onto Nat west and they have reduced the charges by changing my tarrif so the Co-op would now be £100 more. A good day at the office. Thanks ArbTalk The ethics will have to be down to me.
  18. would be a big plus for me also. Thanks for the tip.
  19. That would save me about £150 p.a. Do they do internet banking. Do you get interest on monies in credit. Any other benefits?
  20. Nat West are great They only charge for cheques in/cheques out/ BACS/ cash in/ cash out/ DD/SO's Other than that, I can't fault them.
  21. Sorry to hear that Chris It's a tough hit. Hope it doesn't stop you working.
