Whilst it's been a long time since I was an apprentice, albeit briefly as back then it was like £70 a week but that came with conditions. I don't think your actually employed as an apprentice, they're usually government funded and these things come with lots of strings attached to prevent what's happening. Or tax breaks, I'm sure someone will have a better explanation?.
-
Shouldn't you also be going to college as part of the apprenticeship as I presume you're not on full wage ?.
-
Why are you working it out per hour, it's not Tesco and using that mentality means less pay in winter!. Know you're day rate and work backwards, £350 per person as a guide for tree work, more people just means more jobs per day tho.

Auto electrician might be a good idea or maybe an agricultural repair company, as they have to be jack of all trades these days. It's more about mindset than brand etc, most garage types are just parts cannon types. But yeah, what's the equipment.

Conifer mafia

From what I've read and seen it's grandad not granny 😉

I wonder if they'll be telling me to line up for my monkey pox jab, greater good and all that BS. Strange how it popped up in Sweden, I thought sex tourism would have been to Sweden not Africa.

Probably the WHO, all the sheep like listening to their masters as they slowly pour just enough gruel into the trough to make them feel listened to.

Still in the box with the safety glasses

Well, having a "Kiln" would be a start. Seasoned maybe, but you might be pushing it for February unless you've the covered outdoor space
-
That's not how you drug test the staff 😉

Turn up with a Makita, just for a laugh

Old petrol & diesel absorb water from the air due to the ethanol content in petrol and HVO in diesel. Diesel gets bacterial bloom, don't see why petrol couldn't over a long period of time.
-
Ask if they rent them for the course, no point buying a small saw just for the course if you need 18". Most places do rent them, plus you'll find if your Stihl or Husqvarna
-
Isn't new, we did it with inflatable tanks, fake lights near big cities etc. Granted you might need to fake a magnetic and heat signature these days.
-
If you remember your history, digging a fortified trench didn't work particularly well for the french.
-
Plus all plastics do age with both UV and petrol as it's a solvent, more noticeable with diesel and even kerosene as that's even more aggressive. I've got yellow drums that are almost brown lugging diesel to small equipment.
-
Petrol is not a clear colour, but most also likely absorbed oil from the last mix you had in the can once it got warm and the oils become more fluid.
-
It's just common sense, I don't sit crying in a corner cowering about the thought of a zombie apocalypse either. If fear porn is your bag, I'm sure your frapping off to BBC news 24/7.
-
Just stop the chicken little sky is falling fear porn BS, the big nuclear stick will NEVER EVER be used again. Maybe play a little less COD. Or do you also sit awake at night worrying about chemical or biological weapons or false flag stuff?.
-
Why does anybody or animal want more territory. Food & Resources usually. Unless it's political uprising as historically you could say it was a soviet satellite state as Crimea was Russian speaking etc.
-
Nah, it's a huge country I'm sure getting paid in USA dollar or Euros they'll fight. Might even be a tactic to let them get captured, makes the enemy use more logistics & resources which are what win or lose a war. It's the modern equivalent of wounding not killing the enemy, it ties up more resources. Something like 5 to one vs 1 dead and a unit of still fighting enemies.

From what I've gleaned over the years it was mostly a Cuba style missiles on our doorstep that pushed things over the edge. Not the greatest argument when you can fire a missile on any point on the planet but you can understand the mindset, a man with a missile Vs a man blowing you a raspberry with a rifle. Both are IMO utter cnuts, I have no objections about standard munitions, but in WW2 it was lend lease on everything including the ships. Or as my mother pointed out the scruffy oik didn't even wear a shirt for the WW2 commemorates.
-
You can't mitigate or even protect from a hypersonic missile, low collateral damage is a bonus. It's like armour piercing on a tank, it'll get through whatever is in its way. I'm neither to be honest, in most conflicts there is no winner. All your really doing is feeding the big business of the arms industry. With the reality being, how are you going to both save face and Boris slapped that down on who's orders we don't know. OTAN is useless and you can't have a Cyprus style DMZ, so make it the Crimean river as the world can't keep paying billions for a proxy war. What other alternative is there, well you could say back to the old border, but then it's a land border with what a Korea style mined DMZ ?.
-
So what you're saying is it was one of those low signature Australian made cardboard drone planes, which would still require satellite data as a drone is about 10km, unless they're using the mobile phone network?. Which are pretty much undetectable, but again they'll have their revenge.
