  1. Different disciplines . After a days climbing you can be totally fecked . After a day hand cutting on a 45 degree slope you can be totally fecked .

  2. A tree surgeon who I like and get on with will not even quote if he sees some one else giving a quote as he arrives . The potential customer had arranged to get 3 quotes and we were there as this other chap turned up .
