I think I could do this until it turns out I can't have tea with milk. Then there's what to do with all the current stocks of food. Flour, oats, cheese, jars of sauce, pasta, pulses etc, etc... Any ideas of what to do with the food?

So that would be, tata for now?

Cheers Olly!

Gotta love a Menzi Muck!

Where does it say you need to know how to fell a tree to manage forests. I agree with you, the public sector is littered with people who do lots of paper work but with no hands on skills. As a manager you have experience of forest and hr management and communicate that well enough it's all you need. You Have craftsmen for actually using the tools. Though their ability or enthusiasm to use it can also at times lack. But this is not about what existed in the past. Once you're in, it's virtually impossible to be removed. With all large employers your ability to get the job relies not only on your merits but your ability to put them across to an interview panel.

Very good, luckily I've only had an empty jerry can stolen. That day the rear windows on the van were covered with security panels reinforced with re bar. Dead locks all round and a van vault. Used that as a lesson. If it had been at night when the gates locked it would have been lead rather than steel I'd have taken with me. I like my bit of England to remain mine and private.

when is it OK to physically restrain a member of the public

Having had mops on my sites walk up behind an operating harvester on a signed site with interp posters all over the place to ask the operator what he was doing I can only sympathise with folks trying to do this on a road. I'd say herace fencing is cheap and easy to move and erect and more possible in a single tree situation. Though then its down to added cost for time. For what it's worth, once signage is up and all other sop's in place. It's down to Darwin. -
Lost, I think not. Through a closed gate next to a main rd. gate clearly marked as private. If you work in the woods you soon realise that you can carry quite a lot on a bike... Harvester computer systems, chain saws, tool boxes..... No plates or busted plates... I also regularly see a pattern of crossers first, then quads, then 4x4s then 4x4s with trailers. Stealing timber, fuel, in fact anything that's not bolted down. And even if it is you need to be sat on it with a gun to truly stop thieves.

I've was intruded this morning by 3 illegal off road bikes. Came up my drive and scarpered when I came at them with a gransfurs. Now added an extra fence (electric) to keep the geese in. I'm paranoid and don't keep a lot here and what I do have is locked in a box in a box in a box, which has CCTV, pir&burgler alarms and pir lights. Takes me 10 mins to get to my saws with keys. As a forum we have an advantage. We are nationally active. I suggest I draft a letter which you can all e mail to our mp's asking them to discuss this matter in parliament and to look for solutions/create a national crime unit. It's as good as election time gents (and ladies) lets make the most of it!

The applications are "scored" you obviously didn't meet the criteria or communicate it an effective way. Like wise for your friends. The latest Fc post I know of received 180 applicants for one post. There were 6 interviewed. Based on those figures you need to be highly experienced. But more importantly, bloody good at communicating that experience in an application. If you ask they will always give you feed back on your interview. What was yours?

I like the pic of the dude on the ladder in wellies.....

It's a bit far off but look at the unfirm edge post harvesting....

We're off to the butchers, bringing home brisket, gammon, pigs in blankets and bacon! The east mids has again escaped the worst of the blow. -

Stinks of an opportunity to get more of this kind of work in the future if the relevant council likes what you did. With that in mind I'd do it at you regular rate. Though it never works like that and I'd say 80% of the time nice guys finish last. I think you're looking at about an even grand!

Not this side of Xmas google Dave pickles timber haulage or Russell Powell. Be warned, Russell takes no prisoners!

Dam dyslexia, it's a brunett. Apologies.

What about milk?

No thanks. On price difference alone I'd have saved enough already to buy another machine...... But I get what you're saying.

I'm down there mid march if the water's up. Plus I drive like an old man so taking a trailer is no big deal if it's worth it.
