He must have liked his hedge...

What do you mean Skyhuck?

Lighten up mate... It's Christmas!!

Can you ping me a message to please mate?

Sorry that you don't have a sense of humour Treequip. I understand why he lost his firearms licence... It's not rocket science!!

I'm in Dorset! Bring it on!!

Stop trying to wind us all up! I'm excited for Santa!!!!

Yes, we weren't members... That's why it cost us more! I'm a member of the RAC (included in my insurance) and my parents are with the Green Flag (included in their caravan insurance).

REALLY? We broke down three years ago on the way back from Peterborough on Easter Monday (Bank holiday) and it cost us more than it should have done if it was a normal day. That was with the Green Flag.

It's when some knobber ties your rope to the bottom of the tree that you have to worry!

A picture which I found on Facebook!

Hi buddy, hope all's well. I finished a L3 course in June this year. If you have any questions feel free to message me. Merry Christmas dude

My dad said a good thing earlier... It's acceptable for TS's to charge high rates whilst doing emergency jobs and on Xmas day etc because if someone broke day the AA/RAC etc are going to charge you a bomb! It's pretty much the same concept!!

Very good advise from Shane and Yorkshireman. As Dean has mentioned, it'll obviously make him aware that it could come down and your booking it in for future, if it does fall you can always go and tidy it up if he wants you to. I wouldn't strap it, or brace it etc but the blame will soley be on you, whereas if you don't touch it then your all clear. I wouldn't worry about it, if he's that desperate to get it done he'll call someone else Merry Xmas all.

Anyone had any calls yet? Just got home after splitting 9 cubic metres of logs, expecting some calls to go out again though.

That's our tree! 6ft Norway Spruce

Fair play to her, that must be a very challenging job.

What's your wife's job buddy? Is she a nurse/doctor or a police woman etc? Or something completely different?!

I'd rather not go out and work but if I was asked to then I would. I know it's not all about money, more about keeping others safe and happy, but the money is a big incentive! For people saying they would happily go out and work, it's entirely up to them and their families, no one on a forum can say that their idiots/selfish etc to work on Xmas day - some people don't have families/girlfriends/wives/kids etc to spend the day with... So perhaps they would rather work and treat it as a normal day and give something back to the community etc. As some people have said that they would happily work for a couple of hours on Xmas morning, perhaps they don't have alot of money and would like to buy their children an extra present or two. Everyone's different and no one can say you can/can't work on Xmas day. Lets just hope that nothing major will happen for any of us, and if it does, please all stay safe and have a very merry Xmas. Regards

I bet you'll be getting a few pennies from that!!!

Yes, I know that but I meant life or death emergency.

Unless it was an emergency and then I would still triple my rates.

Being a subby groundsman/climber I would have to triple my daily rate for Xmas day/boxing day/Ny eve/ny day. It's not worth doing it otherwise!

Just out of interest... Why not red diesel?
