I did. I take it you were referring to the flaming rule. What I wrote was a reply to what could definatley be classed a flaming. Hey-ho life goes on:001_smile:

Hahaha,heres a big lump And a log

So why was my last post deleted? It wasn't offensive I was just replying to a post that was aimed at me and was far from factual.

Ok if ya want some pics heres a few, So maybe I don't just do small farty little tree's and hedges.
-
Not really, was about as exciting as a conny hedge reduction
-
Congratulations, you felled a tree.
-
No a good freelancer would see if things could be moved around to help a chap out. Sometimes Mrs Miggins doesn't need her tree felled tomorrow, she doesn't know this but she can be convinced;)

It's called knowing and having a working relationship with those in your area but arbs are a strange breed:001_smile:
-
Yep, may involve some cash changing hands but I know alot of people in my area and have got others outta the mire before . It's a very small industry and pays to know your area.
-
Fairly simple, ring every climber I know in the area that is capable of doing the job, call in a favour or 2 and get the job done. The last thing I would do is get an unknown climber in, just too risky. This is how everyone I know would do it, no need for an agency in this buisness. All tree company owners know freelancers in their area and who is good and who is not.
-
I don't but it is a scenario, it could happen to someone. Lets face it some tree company owners arn't the most organized people and can get out of thier depth. If the scenario happened to you that the climber wasn't able to work how would you go about sorting it out? I know how I would.
-
I would hardly call it a company, just a knackered out old transit and chipper. Do my own jobs and freelance to other local companies. Whats the problem with that?
-
Yep and freelance climb.
-
Ahh I see the Internet Spelling Police are active members here:thumbdown:

Very unlikley, my experiance of agncey staff is that most of them struggle to pick their own nose.
-
A quick scenario: A big job is taking place tomorrow, traffic management in place, hiab/crane booked and months in the planning as on a main road. Climber chips his nail varnish and can't work. Bugger need another climber quickly. Ring agency and get a climber for the following day, all is good. Climber turns up and proves to be useless/dangerous. Have to send him away. Job has now gone to poop, how would an agency sort this out?
-
oh goody goody the prospect of a fuel protest/blockade. I remember the last time this was tried, all it seemed to achieve was a massive inconveniance to everyone and nothing else. The oil companies are a buisness and a buisness has to make money. As others have stated most of the cost of a litre of fuel goes to the government and only a small percentage to the oil company. The government needs to raise revenue to stop the country going down the pan thanks to the last shower of poop that ran the country so taxing the thing that we all use makes sense to me. We don't like it but what is the alternative?
-
Exactly:thumbup1:

I can't believe that anyone would leave anything in a tree overnight with all the thieving scumbags about these days. It's bad enough keeping an eye on gear when your on a site.

Well it's not rocket engineering is it, is often heard when some asks a dumb question
