  1. Leaving the arising is not ‘silly revenge’ it’s the correct way to do things legally, just like your Common Law Right to abate nuisance, the brash always stays with the owner, it’s his property wether he likes it or not.
  2. 'Helping my Partner on a big one' is a classic DVD mind...
  3. tried a few, all crap, get your hand in your pocket and grab a proper one. Some Laser Distance Measures will do height but it needs to be hitting a solid canopy, so rubbish on most Conifers and whippy stuff / Lion Tails that poor Arbs leave...
  4. Run via NATO and presented by head honcho Chris Neilan, it was very good and made better sense than Helliwell imho.
  5. I would have normally attended but it clashed with a CAVAT workshop at Croxteth and to be honest in the past 2/3 years I have seen the same presentations and/or speakers elsewhere. Dealgha and Keith are always worth a listen...
  6. Danny Baker 'look a like' (not much work unfortunately...)
  7. As others have said very little research into the extent of root systems has taken place, however it is clear that they extend well beyond the 'drip' line and within the top 30cms due to oxygen limitation. Another point is the consideration of mycorrhizal fungi in the surrounding soil. I think that the 12x formula is in place of nothing - a line in the sand, it probably should be increased, it isn't really simplistic, but it acts as a yardstick, I am pretty sure that anyone who wanted to do a really interesting PHD could use modern technology to plot and monitor actual root dimensions, but at the minute I cant afford to give up work - unfortunately.
  8. 'Sadly, the TO is close to extinction and problems will only get worse as public services are diminishing. ' Enjoy your weekend...

    Bat Boxes

    Try NHBS online, they do a good range od Ecology gear...
  10. Some good advice on the Ancient Tree Forum place and none invasive...
  11. you'll both need to wear a vest...
  12. Ok so a few comments - the TPO maps should be online - it makes all our jobs easier! I have knocked back applications recently (hence my first reply!) in situations were it has been pertinent to make sure that the specified trees, that were in a group with non TPO trees, were marked up so there was no confusion and there was a need for clarity. You need to remember that as a TO we make recommendations to Planning, but as it is a Planning function they make any decisions, we just advise and send comments. Just a final comment, if we want to be treated in a professional manner, we all need to act in a way that takes away any ambiguities and areas of 'woolyness', including submissions and paperwork. We all love a rant and a good steam, but we have a policy of putting the phone down on people who do are abusive or aggressive - that proper winds them up!!!
  13. Is this me? Right area...
  14. my advice? don't touch it with a barge pole or face heavy and protracted legal proceedings. Best Case scenario is it won't come out of your pocket...
  15. speaking from the other side of the fence around 70% are woeful, inaccurate and don't reflect what's needed...
  16. 30K - is that Birmingham weighting?
  17. Pay?
  18. Outrageous in my opinion (Type 2 with good control!) a lot of folk would welcome an 8!!! have you tried the BDA and especially this - http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/ it is a good source for all kinds of issues and is regularly visited by practitioners and punters, if you cut and paste onto there you will definitely get a response. I recently travelled to Chile and Peru with no issues for Travel Insurance.
  19. Morgan - the twats twat a utter waste of oxygen and a complete cockwomble of the first order...
  20. Another shot -
  21. This is Curly!
  22. remember Shigo? - a 'prunes a wound' (Unless the client pays over the odds...)
  23. Cheers feller- hope your well and more importantly busy!!
  24. Could anybody enlighten me on the following? I have a tree Team who need to do a series of Refresher Training asap, they have recently completed their Windblown and Medium felling (002102)tickets, question is do they still need to renew their CS 30/31 tickets as well? Surely the training activity supersedes the lower level competencies, as it is listed at Level 3? Any help/feedback greatly accepted?!!!
