  1. Like already said depends how good you are quick you are etc, I live in rugby, by no means the fastest climber but I can get the job done on time, I can earn 130-160 this end of town, so you shouldn't be far off that over cov way 👍🏽
  2. I'm not sure why it's done for cost, I don't get that bit. And I agree with you Mac, don't get me wrong I'm not trying to defend or fight for the LA, jus trying to give an insight to people's opinions 👍
  3. I do agree it's frustrating for local firms having been on both sides of the coin, but In all fairness private jobs for us are very few and far between, we imo do about 1 a month, I've seen the costings and there's no profit made jus cost covering. I don't know where this rumour has come from as I've heard nothing like that, were generally too busy with highways/parks/street trees/council housing/callouts/woodland to be over run with private stuff...as u said Joe no animosity just respect towards other gangs from me...we jus do our job 😃
  4. Bang on post Adam....I was self employed for a while...wicked when it's cash in hand sunny days....awful when it's wet and u can't work...customer takes ages to pay..van costs etc (I could go on all night), I went employed and it's a complete different world...some people make it some people don't, I admire and respect the lads that have/are...I didn't...but I'm happy as ever with where I am now, same hours, same regular money..all the perks...occasional private work gives a real good feeling to. 👍 Hope things get better for you pal
  5. Happy BIRTHDAY YES MATE THANKS Jamie 👍🏽
  6. Congrats pal, good feeling! Yes Joe, even us LA mofos were out in force...dead wooding limes, felling cherries...drowned rat is a understatement pal

  12. We have no apprentice yet Joseph...u should apply 😜😜😜😜 I agree my personal gear is my own n my own only....but the works gear gets hammered a lot so forever sharpening the feckers.
  13. Looks a beaut of a tree to get into, I'd allow couple of nice steady paced days on a tree that big, all this talk of mewps...where's the fun in that?
  14. I hadn't come across these before lads so was jus after some advice, I didn't know you needed a different one for different saws sod that, I have a t540, ms310 and ms066, my sharpening skills are pretty good to be fair, il jus crack on as I am👍

  19. Been on my mk2 for nearly a year...brilliant piece of kit...have been in some awkward positions with it, no issues as yet.
  20. I believe tea and coffee go a long way in life...it helps on jobs when the customer gives the "while your here...." line, also it's just a nice gesture....can't beat a nice afternoon tea to wash down the sawdust ☕️☕️
  21. No need for that sort of talk on here pal, calm yourself down.
