Have you seen pic of Hancock snogging his aid Mark? Havent got a pic yet but it’s gonna be a tricky one for each of them to explain to their relevant partners - what happened to social distance? I think the only ‘bubble’ he had in mind was NOT a family one 😂

That! Was a pleasure to watch 😂

Bit extreme maybe - I mean like, who ‘likes’ tax, but topping yourself is a bit OTT!

Never let the truth get in the way of a good dit! Exageration and deviation from the topic are the lifeblood of the forum 😂

Les, for the love of God, leave him well alone! He can hit a ****************ing strawberry at 30 paces with a throwing knife! Put the keyboard down and back away slowly without making too much eye contact and definitely no sudden movements!

Yeah, “a border patrol boat fired shots” at a T45. Granted, it’d just be the opening gambit, but talk about David & Goliath 😂 A worrying, thankfully rare, glimpse of the transition from covert, but state sponsored, cyber, economic and espionage hostilities to the potential for a rising tempo towards kinetic warfare. Wouldn’t have happened on Trumps watch. Since we’re left with Biden, we’ve had hot war in Israel/Palestine and now this... Maybe it’s ‘just’ coincidence? Wouldn't want to be on op Orbital right now. Hundreds of UK troops parachute into Ukraine for joint exercises - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK Over 200 British paratroopers made history this week when they jumped into southern Ukraine for the first time.

We don’t know what OP defines as a ‘large job.’ Is it a big tree in a domestic setting or a site clearance with project management oversight. If it’s a site with PM oversight it might be possible to pass it up the chain. Maybe not so likely if it’s a domestic job. Whilst we all have our own moral compass viz a viz nesting birds - and, thankfully, most seem to set a pretty high bar, I’m not so sure I’d be carrying my ass in a sling at the prospect of ‘prosecution.’ Im sure it’s been said before - has there ever been an arb related prosecution for bird transgressions (maybe Mr Bolam after a few cases of Stella but that’s a whole other story.) It’s not an offence unless intentional and it’s not that difficult to be diligent.

If you can charge it out to the customer I’d agree with Ian’s comment above. If it’s a ‘large job’ as you say, like a site clearance as part of a larger project, it may be that there is a project manager. If so, pass the problem back to them - that’s what they get paid for. Anyone can do a bird survey, you just need to be able to demonstrate an appropriate / defensible level of diligence and competence. If you didn’t quote for it either charge it out or charge it as a contract amendment.

Hang on, hang on! We’re missing the point here... I would like to see the knives! Even better, a short vid of the throwing! That’s some impressive distance esp if on target 🎯

I’m over 100kg, north of 6’ and the other side of 50. Ease up on the suet puddings, aim for 100kg and avoid Ash trees!

How’s he gonna throw that? And, it’ll never stick in even if he hits the tree

Bercow joins Labour.... ANOTHER nail in Labour’s coffin! Former Speaker and Conservative MP John Bercow joins Labour WWW.GOOGLE.CO.UK He says he shares Labour's values and that the government "needs to be replaced". Nasty little oick....

There may be exception to the rule Mr B! A certain “IanC” gets a mench in the comments and replies of the attached link: mudcat.org: woman a dog and a walnut tree MUDCAT.ORG the more you beat them the better they be. as regards walnut trees i understand its the end of the branches that are...

A certain elegance in your brevity Mr S 👍🏻😂

Quite right! Where will it all lead? Before you know it they’ll be wanting independence 😂

Been posted before.... Its bollocks. “Woke” is a term applied to virtue signalling wankers that think any perception of a “supposedly” hard done by minority deserves greater privilege and exception than the majority. Current examples - obviously - include positive discrimination in favour of certain ethnic groups, overt anti Semitism (which, oddly, coincides with false anti racism narratives), terms like ‘chest feeding’ rather than breast feeding, attempts to change school language from boys and girls to ‘learners’ and so the list continues. It’s been an insidious but relentless campaign of gradually eroding what most (sane) people consider the very foundations of a decent society. If the loony left head bangers and the white privileged, guilt ridden liberals keep going down the “woke” path they will either wither into social, political and economic insignificance (as appears to be playing out in front of our very eyes), or they will achieve their ultimate aim and reduce this country to a similar sort of 3rd world caliphate shite hole as so many others around the world.

I’d suggest the result of this by election speaks more of the desperate state of the Labour Party than it does the Tories. Labour behind even the Greens and a lost deposit. Yes, a kick in the nuts for the Tories, but another nail in the coffin for Captain Hindsight.

It may not be ‘pretty’ Egger, and of course yome right it may be perceived as lowering the tone of the adjacent des res s s s, and that is one (understandable) POV, but that’s all it is, a POV. Another POV might be, perhaps the LA might be better served seeking out someone that has actually contravened a law - maybe a benefit thief, a fly tipper or a TPO breach for example.

Horrible film! Similar those Damien films - only good part of them was the Rottweilers!

Can’t remember all of it but I do know it always includes 666 (and a dose of the crabs) beastly devil womanthing!

Never, ever ‘talk to’ someone who wants to pull your pants down (stand fast Saturday night down Union Street with a classy Janner girl!) They have ‘got’ what they have got by way of info and detail UNLESS you give them something more. (a) you’ve absolutely NOTHING to gain by acknowledging their enquiry - especially as Huck says above. If they have anything to substantiate a complaint / attempt an enforcement they already have it and should disclose it to you. All you will do by engaging them is give them more. (b) why do people automatically assume a letter from an ‘authority’ requires them to acquiesce with the provision of time? Time equals money, matey from LA is on the clock and being paid whilst he expects you to meet him for free - not even free, it’s at a loss to you since it’s time you could be earning. I’d possibly be prepared to consider a compromise - to a very limited degree - as Les says. Send him an email and tell him he can reach you by phone between x o’clock and y o’clock on z day where you can spare him a couple of minutes from your busy on-site work schedule to receive the full details of the complaint (which should have been stated in the letter previously sent) and to consider answering (without any obligation or commitment) specific questions and he may have. Another option (if a member of FSB or covered by home legal protection) invite him to send any future correspondence via your legal representative. A whopping big chip pile on the front drive should help too - there is no law, statute or regulation which precludes you from top dressing your flower beds 😂

TC2020 Tree Care Compliance™ The Tree Surgeons’ Service Delivery Standard. | All Things Arb ALLTHINGSARB.CO.UK TC2020 Tree Care Compliance™ is the 21st Century Service Delivery Standard for Tree Surgeons applicable to amenity tree care... The article could do with a bit more detail: “...called for by industry key players...” “...developed by professional auditors and arboricultural industry practitioners...” “...making presentations to key industry service providers...” “...detailed consultations with industry stakeholders and specialists...” Like who? Is this info available at the company link? Certainly worth having a read....

It was just a figure of speech - weme to poor in the sticks to even afford the travel to B&Q. It’s ‘Trago Mills’ hereabouts - otherwise know as ground zero or the nations biggest jumble sale!

I’d bet if they have, they haven’t bothered to learn from previous experience - you know, like any ‘normal’ person would 😂

Did they write to you? Would you share the letter (redacted)? Be interesting to see the tone and content. Arrange for them to visit midday, midweek when you’re out on a job. If they turn up, you’ll be out at work.... No case to answer M’Lud....
