Zips top of calf Belt loops: yes Brace connectors: yes, with hi back Elasticated with zip fly Hi viz tapes: yes Pockets: zips to access trousers Colour: dark, as they get mucky quicker than jacket (or maybe a choice?) Price: if they work I'm not too fussed! -

Depends how neat you stack em n all!

While not a huge fan of imported products,like you describe, I have to disagree: I used to make wattle hurdles but just couldn't get enough materials to keep up with demand and some blocks if coppice I brought back into rotation were then sold to someone else when they came good ( I was gutted but my fault really: no written agreement and a change of estate manager). Place near me bought in 'Eastern Bloc' hurdles and they were really good quality and cheaper than mine, but not by much. Also thatcher friend of mine stopped makin his own brorches (family growin) and bought em in from somewhere in West Country: 2000 imported 2000 uk as a trial The imported ones were evenly cleft, pre bent, ready for the roof whereas the dearer uk ones had lots of thin spots, needed a good 2 day soak and still split when he bent them which do you think he stuck with? Havin said all this I totally agree about the pathogen threat. John

Spot on! But as I said before I like cash as it's a quick turnaround compared to cheques. Also I've never been able to get over the warm feeling a fat wedge gives me;) ( even if it's only for a short while before bein deposited )
-
Surely it's only the smaller merchants who arnt VAT reg who are the cash pests as they can't claim the 15% back? Personally I like cash as it's quick turnover (like BACS). Cheques are a pain!

Indian bean tree?

American White oak?

I agree with you, we use 30lt+ of mix a day on some forestry jobs and even buying Aspen at bulk price (£17 5lt?) it's still over £50 a day more on the bill. I'd love to use Aspen but can't justify with the already tight profit margins. About 20% of our work is arb, where I can easily price it into the job, but from what I've been told it's not good to chop n change between the two fuel types. Be interested to know if anyone can confirm/deny this? John

Bump! Come on: share the knowledge!

PM us then ! but I don't see a problem with mentioning a name or providing a link, lots of businesses get a mention, praise or mild criticism without incurring the wrath of the mods. But I could be wrong

Mum interested too, please

I am not so fond of hornets after today, while cross cutting for the processor I found myself set upon by the bastards. Was stung 6 times before I made leap with saw n legged it. Couldn't see the nest in the stack so took a look round the back and found this: Never seen one so exposed

I'm leaning towards fledglingarb s opinion, he doesn't have to lose thousands at all just give a day rate and get stuck in, he never mentioned gettin it out, so if the customer is happy with his work rate and presentation what's the problem. I first got tickets in 1990 and no one would even give me a go and were really negative in the end I just contacted loads of woodland owners offering to manage coppice for the wood, one or two got back to me and when they saw my work rate and conscientious approach they gave me paid work in other woods hedge coppicing etc. nearly 25 yrs later I'm still at it, not rich but makin a living and no real losses and if I'd listened to the negative professionals I'd've missed out on the best occupation I could've hoped for (except for maybe Beyoncé s muff buffer) go for it!
