He first got pulled then they found the implement why did he get pulled if you don't mind me asking

stihl £10- brilliant

Heres a leaflet Think it makes it clearer chainsaw H&S.pdf

It would appear according to my H&S mentor that you do in fact need (legally) the tickets appropriate to the work being undertaken. I'm waiting for the documents to be emailed to me and if I can will post on here

I've heard this many times over the years- there must be some truth in it

So.... None of us really know Blinking frustrating

C'mon- be arsed:biggrin:

obviously yes

Depends who your customer is If it could be the tree' then you've one approach -I know what you're saying- how can a tree be your customer?- but lets just pretend the tree walks into your tree surgeons clinic and asks what you can do to help it- you probably say- go away theres nothing you need- you will grow & you will die(sometime) I usually can't help you live longer If it the user of the tree(owner- whatever that means) then your approach is determined by their attitude to the tree- and we've all experienced varying attitudes to trees. As a business then you suggest stuff that you can get paid for- Reports etc etc fell replant. The reason the tree is there is because the human wants it(usually) so they should be included in the equation. So- trees must be fiddled with

So I'm not the only one who sees it like this:sneaky2:

thats my experience

My take on it is that the government likes to help young businesses and encourage competition. So having a £75k vat threshold gives new starts and one man bands a competitive edge in the domestic market where they will usually be learning to hone their trade. VAT kicks in when you want it to but has to at £75k You then are in a situation where you are developing and probably employing So vat isn't your only problem- H&S Risk stuff tickets paperwork etc. Then they dangle the carrot of Limited liability which is a weight off the shoulders of the business owner- although it comes at a cost (higher accountant fees and bank charges). Now once in this position there are tax advantages to be had- Pay yourself tax free £7k and take dividends especially as you are then probably in the 40% tax bracket. There are some other benefits. So to summarise- the whole thing is aimed at progressing your business. i.e, getting bigger - sometimes to the point of just having to do so

conifer= cone bearing yew has berries I may be wrong and someone please correct me if I am but I've never viewed yew as coniferous Mind you a lot of folk would think yew was juniper so it would work on that level:001_smile:

Any New Zealand members- is this correct??

Yew- conifer-???

IMO you can't beat loads of air from below- makes a great blaze- then control the heat by adding more wood (or not) don't faff around with regulators etc

So how does the american government pay for stuff Not on gasoline tax.. much anyway Not on income tax- warren buffet says he pays 17% and would like to pay more Not on welfare state There is I believe a sales tax though- quite a bit I seem to remember Not having a dig at USA as I love the place but just wondering BTW stihl saws arn't half the price in USA

I like that:biggrin:

usual winter log issues we burnt mainly unseasoned oak last winter and it was fantastic- burnt really hot and when swept the liner had hardly any soot in and when we put a camera up there it was clean I think it's down to the stove:thumbup1:- draws like a furnace Oh yes and the fire lighter:001_tt2:

like hot rod trees

brilliant you left him with no other option He had to accept your deal- put him on the backfoot He will have no ammunition to badmouth you now Plus- you've won a new customer who appreciates your logs

So what happens if something goes wrong I've never known a climber with anything other than 38 & 39 30& 31 Have I been winging it all these years Are we saying if you damage yourself with a big bar then get the 15" bar out the bag and drip blood on it Must admit this obsession with tickets for everything is making work very difficult.

And if you do collect it, he may well get the chance to find out he was wrong and come back to you- then you'll be friends
