    It's quoted earlier in this thread Gary as 1960 and in Mynors (without the date) ¾ of the way down p67 2nd ed. But I can't find it on Google, only links to people quoting it (this thread and some random "Garden Law" forum. Grrrrrr.....

    6 hrs ago! Cant believe it!! I've pretty much been stationary with laptop and surrounded by books for 6 hrs, and I was so engrossed as to not have checked in here.... TLA.... That's a gift!

    Has anyone got a link to Richardson v Jay? I can't seem to find anything....

    Der..... I was having a dim moment!! I wouldn't have got there unless you'd pointed it out though... I was away on a completely different thought thread! It's gone a bit quiet on the QTRA messages since you eased back on the fight Jules!

    What's M.E.??

    If I could just add to hairy chest's (and a lot of previous good counsel), learn from both the good AND the less good leaders you have previously encountered. There is much to emulate from the good, and possibly even more to be gained from recognition of the shortcomings of the poor. Learn from the mistakes of others! Also, consistency is important.

    Bit confused but agree with you about the importance of doing the research and making one's own decision. I'd be interested to hear why you're not in favour of the system.
  13. kevinjohnsonmbe
    It may not be to everyone's taste - each to their own.... But if the contracts you are hoping to tender for specify a particular system or qualification then you'd be restricting your chances of winning the tender if you don't meet the initial spec. Look at the "type" of organisations that are subscribed to the system - many county councils, ISS, Thulborn, Glendale, Hi Line, Amey, Warwick college, various consultancy and surveying outfits - generally pretty heavy weight, well established high turnover organisations. If those are the target contracts you are aiming for, or potential future employers even, you will have to decide if they are all wrong! 10 bears mentions LANTRAs PTI course above and I'd agree, that is also a very well regarded and useful addition to the toolkit. PTI knowledge combined with QTRA methodology is a potent combination in my view. Have you had a read through the extensive QTRA threads previously posted??

    Lots of info in previous threads and on the QTRA webpage. If you feel like it makes sense after reading the info on the QTRA webpage, it's likely you'll get through the course and exam. On the other hand, if you feel baffled after reading the webpage, it might be harder. It might also be worth having a look on the "find a QTRA user" search tab (Quantified Tree Risk Assessment) to see who is already registered in your area. There are only 2 independents (including me) in Cornwall so that was a big plus for my decision making.

    That's as near to a perfect summary as you could hope to get!

    Did you meet Beau & Liz on yr SW tour Paul??
  21. kevinjohnsonmbe
    Nice one!! :thumb up: Nice to meet you and Liz! Good set of pics! Unusually, I didn't have camera with me. Tom from Root & Branch SW was there too. A good bit of networking and well organised day with an over subscription and a reserves list for attendance! Bodes well for the future!

    John, I thought I'd heard somewhere that Jean Pain had died of ODTS or similar but Wiki says bladder cancer. Did you have any recollection of where you heard it was fungal spore?? I can't seem to find anything other than Wiki??

    I am abrupt... No intention to cause any upset.
  24. kevinjohnsonmbe
    Original post Paul. 👍🏻

    It's not personal, we don't know each other. I stated an opinion - based on the available information. Did you only want supportive replies? Wasn't meant to upset, just what I thought from the OP.
