  2. And they're always really nice to me.
  3. Yeah, have a spare pair badger:thumbup:
  4. This system is often used/shown on ua2.2. A very handy system to know.
  5. I would have thought more companys would be vat registered because like you say richy, the threshold is relatively low.
  6. I see alot of companys pay travel one way. I think as long as you are happy with the deal you got, then who cares. Am i the only employer who still pays day rate?
  7. Thanks
  8. That lowering point looked spot on dude, nice to see.
  9. Looks like a fun job well done john:thumbup: whats the crane co like that you used? Last one i used this way was not great, could do with a decent one.
  10. What size chipper is this and what sort of price is it please? And also weight of machine? Cheers
  11. Does meripilus not decay/degrade wood above ground? Thanks all
  12. Thanks for the replies. To clear a couple of things up, i meant, could the la be held at fault if someone been injured or similar. And, how is it so that the failure of the branch could not be down to merip, does it not degrade the wood in such a way? I ask fro someone who does not know. Also, i am not trying to find someone to blame i.e the la, just interested in how the law applies in such circumstances.
  13. Thanks AA, thats pretty much as i thought and what i have told customers in the past. We had a case in the past, where a hotel owned a large mature ash which had advanced stages of merip and was clearly unsafe. Below was grassed area where weddings and other functions took place. It was also a cut through for school kids, so a well used area. The tree had a tpo and so we applied to take down to a monolith. The la refused, we never appealed. We applied again approx 12 months later and again we were refused. Approx 2 months after this a large bough snapped out and landed across grassed area. Only then did the la give consent for our works. Could the la be held at fault in these type of circumstances?
  14. Head down, arse up!!
  15. So in answer to the ops question, can the LA be held responsible/at fault,in certain circumstances?
  16. I would have liked to have seen some comments first, 'what 6 lt!!'.
  17. Bang on Ian.
  18. Red pfanners here, cheap and last pretty well.
  19. I never realised you could get stuff like that on the open market. What does it cost if u dont mind me asking Paul. Fascinating to see the results.
  20. Next door on the Quantocks is excellent mountain biking.
  21. Similar to the furry muff cut.
  22. Thats a good amount of pull.
  23. What pulling power has that winch GG?
  24. Sounds fair to me, though not legal.
  25. Affordable access in Romsey 01794 521177 would usually have something that size. May be a touch out your way though. They may deliver for a charge.
