Good video and good work. Excellent saw choice.

If anyone has a really goosed 5-10" ish chipper (or bits of) they want to get rid of for free or a few hundred pounds, please PM me.

Stefan and the guy who runs back from the chipper should get together and take over the world.

Who's your rogue or what's the case? PM if you prefer.

Monsieur Bolam is correct (as usual) but if you want a more formal approach, matelot's suggestion of a university law clinic is good for this sort of situation. They'll be back from summer hols and in need of clients in a couple of weeks.

Quite. Ross, Dig out whatever paperwork you have. Tax stuff, any "contract" or communications between you and the company, evidence of other work you've done, receipts for saws, PPE, servicing etc.

If you want some advice on what your contract means, you could get a solicitor to explain it to you. If you don't want to pay a solicitor, university law departments often have free law clinics. Students are usually supervised by practising solicitors so the advice you get on low level stuff like this will be fine. https://www.lawclinic.org.uk/ is the one google found first in Glasgow. Best of luck with it.

Thank you very much.

So, to ask the most basic of questions, it really is a matter of just cut it at the bottom, bend it over, stake it (down) and hope it lives?

I've never done any but fancy learning. What are the basics?

I googled 'given up the goat' and this was the top search result: 41 ways to sound like a bonehead

Thanks for the recommendation. Have you got a boiler in yours?

Champion Stove Company rather than Champion Stoves I assume?

Quite the opposite actually. Famous passage by Winfield (legal bod) on the characteristics of the reasonable man: [H]e has not the courage of Achilles, the wisdom of Ulysses or the strength of Hercules, nor has he the prophetic vision of a clairvoyant. He will not anticipate folly in all its forms but he never puts out of consideration the teachings of experience and so will guard against negligence of others when experience shows such negligence to be common. He is a reasonable man but not a perfect citizen, nor a "paragon of circumspection.

Very happy with it. I prefer the smell to Aspen. Saws run indistinguishably.

The exclusion clause might work or might not. Either way, you're probably going to damage something and they're definitely going to tell their friends if you do. I would cut logs out right down down to 1" and burn what's left. Nice relaxed work with loppers.

It may but that's not what I was asking. I asked whether he was serious in thinking that someone in a tree telling a client on the ground to go away has broken the law for few seconds by having someone working for him while not covered by ELI.

Of course but I was asking about the ELI in isolation.

Do you genuinely think that a client who barges in and moves things without being asked to (or after being asked not to) has caused him to be in breach of mandatory employers' liability insurance law?!

Honest and cheerful.

I would knock up some properly formatted witness statements, nice and courty looking. I'm sure there's a template online or I can e-mail you one if you're not sure what you're looking for. The ones for your colleagues and your wife's colleagues to sign will only need to say: 1. I am Joe Bloggs. 2. At time and date I was in a meeting in place with M. Gunner. 3. There is a CCTV camera in the room we were in. 4. All the above statements are true (or whatever the proper declaration of truth is). Yours can say stuff like you ordered the thing, paid for it, and then found the card through the door but no thing. Ask the seller for your money back. When he says no, really calmly send the docs telling him money back in x days or you'll start drafting particulars of claim. If that fails, raise the paypal complaint. Showing them the docs might mean they find in your favour. I've won disputes as a seller with less evidence (and I was under the impression that paypal generally believe buyers over sellers). If that fails, docs and threats to the courier but it shouldn't come to that. Your claim is against the seller. It should be up to him to claim from the courier. If nothing from all of that, small claims. https://www.gov.uk/make-court-claim-for-money/court-fees Or turn up at his house with some rough men. That's gut feeling from doing 99% of a law degree (but having taken only a perfunctory interest in this area). I could easily be wrong. Universities often have student law clinics, which could advise you for free. This sort of case is perfect for them but the time of year is perfectly wrong. The one at my uni almost entirely closes over the summer. Fairly sure Essex (Colchester) has one. Cambridge, if they have one, possibly more convenient for you. Hope that helps.

OP, I like it. Can you get longer veins of metal running with the cracks?
