  1. It's already there.
  2. Can't find a interactive map, but there's four pages of actual TPO's to wade through and on the CA's are available to download. Not that helpful but better than nothing.
  3. Sorry Ben, I was answering from my phone while doing other things. One concern or thought I have, is how knowledgeable are these companies in the field of arboriculture? As the industry is quite specialised, but with overlaps into other industries I have some doubts about how good a service these companies can provide. A bit different, but I get a couple of calls a week from website designers. Yes they can design a good website, but from experience I do know that the amount of input required by the owner is such, that you might as well work through it and do it yourself. Every company I've worked with and for have had to go backwards and forwards to get what they needed (and paid a lot) and then found that they were bound into something unsuitable and not entirely fit for their purposes. Someone here may have experience with them and prove me entirely wrong though.
  4. For ten grand, I'd be learning about the things I didn't know! It seems a lot.
  5. That is a lot is an understatement!
  6. Obviously a newbie, he should have claimed the arb exemption
  7. But you have to drive a 100 miles to get on an A road anyway:biggrin: TBH, looking at the AA email last night, the seminars that I would attend are always too far away. The seminar costs are reasonable, but because of distance the choices are travel the day before and overnight in a hotel (more time away & costs) or face several hrs of driving on the day - takes the shine off of the event. I'm not going to the show, it would 'only' be socialising and the arboretum - which I'd rather do on a quieter day.
  8. That's why I don't go south too often, as an Londoner living in Manchester, it just takes too long to get up, tarted, and out:biggrin:
  9. And the overloaded thread!
  10. I think Goaty has some experience with these.
  11. maybe not the artist you were thinking of, but... [ame] [/ame]
  12. Second that about coming back. It might not seem it now, after the aggro and expense, but it looks like you've saved yourself a lot of problems. good luck with the house hunting, if nothing else you're a bit better informed on your future decisions. Gary
  13. Don't be daft Ian, glad to help you out by getting rid of your waste wood:thumbup1: I've got some new batteries for my moisture meeting, so I'll only want well seasoned stuff:biggrin:
  14. Nah:biggrin: I'll take all that you've got, but as I've no means of transporting it (and there's a weighbridge en route) you'll have to deliver it. I'll need it cut up smaller so it can go straight on my fire, and will need stacking in the shed and log store. I've a busy weekend, so you'll have to fetch it before 9.30AM on sunday morning. I've also no money, but I'm helping you to make some space in your yard and it's waste wood anyway. One last thing, I only want hardwood - no conifer, willow or poplar. You can keep them:001_tt2:
  15. If you answer none of the above, to question 7 and don't have CCTV, you're not actually required to register. Q8 8. Do you only process personal data for: Staff administration (including payroll); accounts or records (ie invoices and payments); advertising, marketing and public relations (in connection with your own business activity). So for core activities involved with running a business, there's no requirement - but tbh the whole thing reads a bit wishy washy and open to interpretation.
  16. To err is human:thumbup1: When my Mrs points out errors in my typing I just remind her that I'm an arborist/arboriculturist, not a bloody typist.
  17. :001_smile:You should Jules, you really should! Although I suspect I'm much worse:blushing:
  18. I thought it might involve a little more than you original post implied:biggrin:
  19. Gotcha
  20. The way I read the reporting of her speech doesn't make her a Holocaust denier. "I don't think France is responsible for the Vel d'Hiv," Le Pen told French broadcaster LCI on Sunday, arguing that the Nazi-collaborationist Vichy regime "was not France." "I think that generally speaking if there are people responsible, it's those who were in power at the time. It's not France," she added. "I consider that France and the Republic were in London during the occupation and that the Vichy regime was not France."
  21. There's nothing I can add that hasn't been said. My thoughts are with his family.
  22. Scavenger hunt marker?
  23. Make that 3, used to tow a TPO Chipper to site on a trailer, with a tractor taking a grain trailer to chip into.
  24. Went to a site last week, where the previous build has been demolished. No top soil visible but lots of ash seedlings growing around the remaining ash trees in the clay subsoil. Trees not in leaf. Made me wonder, as the seeds germinate when fresh, if the lack of foliage/more light is a factor in successful repro/germination?
