  1. You work for him. That’s the key. He who pays the piper calls the tune.
  2. Mick Dempsey

    WTF

    I guess these sort of things are because you can advertise free these days. If you had to pay, you wouldn’t bother.
  3. Thanks, not been worked on before.
  4. That is savage!
  5. But there’s dragons right?
  6. I know what you mean, I cannot for the life of me make any sense of this. I need answers, I’m not interested in any wrongdoing, just need closure!
  7. How will it be more of a problem? It will not go “absolutely crazy” it’ll regrow. It is, as you say, not even fully grown, so left to its own devices it’ll be more troublesome. Start a pollard cycle, the OP gets what he wants, neighbours are happy.
  8. I would say that could do with a trim at the very least. Could you take another picture looking inside the canopy? So we can see if it’s been worked on before.
  9. Happy about my age Les, 60 in December.
  10. Well, if Elizabeth Pargetter is not talking about it on The Archers it’s not being reported on according to some.
  11. It’s an abbreviation of Phillip. He is sometimes called that.
  12. Phillip Schofield has left This Morning. A rift with Holly, apparently there’s some NDAs (non disclosure agreements) in jeopardy that his ‘boyfriend’ signed (gossip on Twitter btw) His brother convicted the other day, could Pip be disgraced, or even worse?
  13. “There’s nothing about it on the news!” Gets shown it’s all over the news (The BBC in fact, on the website and on the telly) ”I don’t watch the news” Comedy gold.
  14. The hydraulics will rob it of what little power it has.
  15. What an odd situation.
  16. It has its own ticker on the top line. Two top stories. Zelensky arrives at G7. Yanks going to let their F16s be used by the Ukrainians. ”remarkable lack of coverage”
  17. Lack of coverage of what?
  18. When they do it without being challenged there’s always an element of “Ha! I parked it now, nothing you can do”
  19. I have noticed a definite drop in enquiries, I’m not in your situation employee wise (only one). I have been in business a good while and experienced a good few ups and downs. In 2008/9 I made a few mistakes that took a few years to overcome (buying stuff that turned out to be useless) I think it was boredom tbh. My only take from it all is don’t panic yourself into rash decisions, selling stuff or buying it or whatever. Sometimes not making a decision is the best decision you can take.
  20. Then maybe ask for the serial number, if he refuses, duck him in the village pond.
  21. Do ZZs have a serial number?
  22. The high stump thing always makes me laugh. Client ”Could you make a chair out of it?” Me: “Absolutely not” Client ”ok leave it high, we’ll make a feature out of it” Me: “no problem, but I guarantee you sooner or later you’ll regret it and want it cut lower” After the job is finished the wife comes out, looks at the metre high stump “cut it as low as you can” “No problem”
  23. The most obvious thing to do is go back through your old tree surgery clients. Phone them up and ask why they’re not using you anymore.
