  1. I don't see us getting out of it personally..successive government's for many years have nailed the country. The amount of younger folk i see moving abroad seems massive compared to just 10 years since..
  2. No difference in either of the 2 main parties.. hasn't been for years.
  3. As Too Doobin mentions, are you talking about self-employed or salaried?
  4. Very interesting, will you be carrying out the works then? Seen tonnes of mature trees near to me decline soon after rampant builders have damaged roots..😪
  5. I bet you're in a hotel wi the Honey Bros lot🤣
  6. Weather dependent...I refuse to camp in drizzle any longer. Did swear I wasn't going again too as I think the feel of it has changed.
  7. Yes mine came from Dorset council like that
  8. Not steel toe but I've worn Salewa Rapace/ Mtn Trainers for years now. Very hard-wearing and grippy.
  9. If mostly subby work something very economical.
  10. Once doing roadside felling by the M62 years ago when a lady stopped on the hard shoulder to see if she could put some logs in her car. An artic bulker promptly shunted it about 60 yards down the road🤣
  11. You do realise a lot of tree surgeons have felt the pinch with the cost of living so have had to diversify into log sales? Likely why you are struggling to find "free" logs..
  12. Prices of tippers and Arb trucks gone completely stupid. I wanted a new truck but im not playing the game so will stick with the Landy which is paid for.
  13. Anyone running one of these? I don't have a Bandit or similar to tow around just a little TW 125. Fairly reliable? Dont want a Cab- On like an Isuzu or Cabstar having experienced the bounce of a Cabstar.
  14. Couldn't think of a worse idea at the moment...domestic arb work is 9/10 a race to the bottom which many a time leads to firms paying peanuts. Then lads attempt to start up for themselves in the hope things will be rosier. Keep doing what others say "money isnt everything " but time and your body will soon tell you otherwise.
  15. Absolute nail on the head J. I find it quite frankly laughable how pathetic this country has now become. Its literally an exercise in greed and corruption. Wish I'd moved abroad when i had the chance..
