  1. Read Rylands as suggested. Any owner has to keeps things on his own property under control, be it a dog, horse or tree. When it escapes and affects others it down to him. You can park your rolls Royce or your bycicle on your land without considering the condition of your neighbours tree. It doesn’t matter if it’s healthy or been dead for donkeys years. It isn’t a consideration, if it escapes, falls or otherwise trespasses onto your land it’s down to the owner. Why do you think councils fell their own trees, or allows TPOd trees to be felled when they are causing subsidence? They don’t blame the homeowner for having a house near a big tree or argue about candyfloss foundations. it really isn’t a difficult concept to grasp!
  2. Rubbish. The shed owner can build on his own land and expect the tree owner to take reasonable precautions to prevent anything on his land injuring the neighbours. You can’t be prevented from using your own land as you wish because your neighbours trees might fall over or drop a branch.
  3. What had fallen off and in what circumstance. Ie dead branch, live branch in a gail. Was it foreseeable etc
  4. That would be nice, I don't really fancy a couple of 500 mile round trips, even to listen to Ted Green for an evening Come Mr Humpheries, you're a man of influence, get it sorted
  5. A drive by?
  6. You mean that ported saws aren’t erotica?
  7. I'd create an account with spud for porting saws for you mate
  8. Can you imagine the consequences to his employer though, if he'd had an accident? There's plenty of cases where the employer has ensured that staff were supplied with the correct equipment and training and still ended up on the wrong side of the HSE Just saying like.
  9. Loads of vids on YouTube start off just like that...
  10. I’ve never seen that adaptation in sycamore, in mostly urban situations. Could the lack lack of environmental stresses be a significant decider between adapting or dying?
  11. I’ve been watching YouTube videos of open heart surgery, hours and hours of them, I’ve read a couple articles too. Ive now ordered some scalpels and a suture kit. Who wants to be my first patient? It don’t look that hard
  12. When I win the lottery I’ll get you one Jules
  13. Wasn’t he an extra in Men in Black?
  14. Do you ever wish you hadn’t pressed Submit in response to a topic?
  15. Run it on aspen, it’ll be alright.
  16. When you’re saying that there is root barrier, is it actually a structure specifically installed as a root barrier, or simply a continuous mass poured foundation?
  17. My understanding is that if you're changing traffic flows by occupying the highway someone somewhere is going to want cash for it. I've just enquired about a temporary parking restriction and I think the cost for putting up no parking signs is £800 + Vat, which doesn't include the TM side of no-parking cones (another department and more money). When I say £800, that's because the form had a number of options up to £2500 and I'm hoping the parking restriction is in the lowest category. As others have said in other threads, it's alright working without the necessary permits until something goes wrong.
  18. I would have thought that birch was a lot less dense than the figures prove. every days a school day
  19. Sorry, I didn't read it like that.
  20. Eucalyptus is a hardwood. (a dicot angiosperm tree)
  21. Table 5 of that document claims that birch has an oven dry density of 610 kg/cubic metre, compared with oak at 650. can that be right?
  22. God hates Stubby too, misery loves company.
  23. Are you on commission?
