Sorry to hear this, it stinks and there is all ways something in the small print that never makes sence until you have read it 20 times, When you dont pay on time they are on your back day in day out for payment, but look what happens when the situation is reversed, i know another lad who had there van and all contents nicked but van was found i think ? i will ask him how they have gone on,

This guy in question is supposed to be a fully trained arbourist but just watching him with a saw for ten minuets makes me think he is not, He was not shown or told to roll his saw pants up to his knees when using a saw when he did his CS 30/31 and any of the other tickets he claims to have,,,,

That dont supprise me one little bit with that figure, you want to get on a page called Stihl chainsaw fans on FB and see what the bell ends over there film and write and post publicly, 10 bottles of Bud and a few joints and then out with the ported 880 to cut some firewood, with flip flops n shorts on,

Chainsaws can be made alot safer than they are all ready and it would be a very simple answer, and that is just dont let idiots use them, there are far to many people out there that say they can use a chain saw but sorry to say they havent got a clue, Was on a job a few wk back and one guy with saw boots and pants on snedding a tree but he has saw pants rolled up to his knees ? what the point of that exercise was is beyond me but some of the younger lads just seem to be so clever and when you point something out to them, i am just a silly old t - - t that knows FA, but only been doing it 40+ years but know nowt !!

They got more money down south, you should,nt of been so lavish with your first bid 😂
-
All the saws i have had from your shop have been assembled and fuelled and oiled and a test run done,
-
Doomed i think your right there, its high time some one took a grip on this country and sorted some things out properly instead of playing at it ? I cant say what i feel about how the last 2 years have been but things are not getting any better for sure, K you say plant more trees, but whats the point ? when another infection will just get them, we restocked many sites that where cleared of Larch and we planted Douglas fir, Hemlock Spruce and Cedar on some of them, but it looks like the DF and Hemlock could of been a waste of time now,
-
Yes your probably bang on the money with that comment and i would bet that its probably halfway up the country by now, but it wont be found till its looked for and now they will start looking for it,,

FFS we are not going to have any trees left at this rate, and is this another part of Tony Blaires legacy ???, first Ramona Phytophthora was found in Cornwall in what 2008 and probably been there several years before it was identified, The great green house project, The Eden project was built and filled with Trees and plants from all over the world ??? and 2 very serious threats to our woodlands have started in that area ? Who the F - - k runs these so called projects ?? we here in the north west have hardly any Larch left now due to Phytophthora and there is 10,000 roadside Ash trees to come down due to Ash dieback,,,

I dont see why the oil in the fuel needs changing ? used the stihl red oil for many years in all our saws and its never been a problem ?. I bought a 660 about 12 mth ago that had been purchased back in 2014, but i do know it had not had more than 20 ltrs of fuel through it and just sat on a shelf in a workshop for last 5 yrs , i gave £500 for that and sold it on for £800 but it was very clean and a genuine little used saw, your £500 is fair i think, but i do think you could get a bit more for it,

yes all caught in the estuaty Seen a couple of videos on youtube that where done up Scotland catching seatrout on the fly in the esturys and it looked good sport,

Seatrout ??

well just watched the full fight, Wilder had burnt him self out by end of round 6, looking for that big punch but not connecting, fury was out of it in the first 2 rounds then started to come back, wilder down then fury down twice, fury made headway from round 7 and dominated from there, he wore wilder down and then put him down, blood coming out of wilder,s left ear again and bleeding heavy from his mouth, Wilder will have to go back to fighting no bodies or better still just retire as he aint lived up to all the hype !! Fury well who is going to stop him ? it wont be AJ or David Haye may be Usky ? but i dont think so,,,

Get in training J and have go you will make millions ?, I can watch boxing all night and some of the best fights i have seen are from the middle weight, super middle weight, welter weight divisions, the 80s and 90s where the best by far in these divisions, Haggler, Hearns, Lenoard, Duran, Jones, then in to the 90s we had Benn, Eubank, Watson and Mcclelan, very explosive fights, I cant see what people see i Football and what they get paid is outrageous, and when they cant hit something thats 24ft wide and 8ft high from 6yds is beyond me ?? God help us if we have a third world war as it wont be footballers that win it for us, they will be supposed to be bombing Berlin and hit London instead and score a home goal,,,

It will pay you to spend a wet day on the phone and do some shopping around, Mine was up for renewal during the first lock down and after ringing and leaving voicmail several times and several emails, the renewal was getting closer so googled some insurance co,s and ended up with a better policey for about half the cost of what i was paying before, it all depends on what your doing, if i can remember who i did it with i will msg you the details,

Well he is not moving to the Charlie Chester paradise of Clitheroe 😂😂😂, He has been trying to buy the old water mill just down the rd from me, but its not a place to have young kids running about,,i will point it out to you one day,,
-
Well i hope Fury does it as he is about to become my new nieghbour, but i think he will struggle and Wilder looks the fittest by far, i just hope Fury can put pressure on Wilder from the off and stay on top of his game and repeat the result from last time,
-
Well dont spill it then 😂😂 You stick to your Shandy 😂😂

Highland Park i find is best with 1 ice cube and just leave it till its nearly melted, there must be 10 or a dozen bottles in our shoot shed,

Yes but my main issue is the people who write and put these things in place, what are there expierances with the said equipment probably zero or very little ? Its not long since we where chosen as a contractor on site for one of the forest managers to do a accesment with a outside body, a young very attractive lady in her early mid 30s, on this event she was checking that this manager was asking the correct questions to us, now given what he knew about the machinery which would be very little, like its got 4 wheels and a engine, when it came to saws i just got the feeling she knew a bit and he knew zero, so we asked her a question and she replied she had a CS30/31 saw ticket, so she was asked what are the 10 safety features of a chainsaw and the answer was chain brake and that was it so how can she access someone and charge £450 a day + VAT, ?

So if your climbing or using a saw every day this could be classed as your refresher, now that has amazed me, how on earth did some one think of that one, Its been a scam from day one with the refresher courses just keep some people in a job, Last one i did was 2 1/2 yrs ago and i still havent got the certificate yet and its not as if i havent rung and asked for it half a dozen times, there is a very small percentage using saws but a massive percentage driving, why dont we need to re sit our driving test every 5 years ??
