This guy did it once, on his time, you were saving on buying equipment by regularly using stuff the taxpayer paid for. -
Nah, bottle it up and go bonkers.

Or as Gloria Hunniford’s mother said ‘always buy good shoes and a good bed, because if you’re not in one you’re in the other’

Planted a hedge of Photinia at the beach house, wanted to prevent the hoi-polloi from gazing over the fence at us gilded people! Igor making sure no working class sorts (more specifically their dogs) dare raise their eyes in our direction.

No rope is going to break unless you cut it, even diy store blue three strand is strong enough to tow a car. I like a thicker rope, easier on the hands. It’s an orangey colour don’t know it’s name ‘Thor’s Underwear’ or something.

So you’re the same as him then? -
My nephew is out there at the moment. Plenty of jobs (for now) You should be more proactive, contact the companies direct, don’t just sit there waiting for the world to beat a path to your door.

Lunchtime if we’re going to be accurate. -
I suspect it’ll be rubbish firewood, waste of time. Euc is good but several days of sub zero temps will kill it. Sweet chestnut, hornbeam or acacia is your best bet.

My most famous bit of hutzpah was a few years back. Taking down some ash, saw a council worker driving past in a 7.5 tonne a couple of times, I saw him eyeing the wood. So next time he passed I flagged him down ‘you want this wood?’ ’well yeah if it’s free’ ’when can you take it?’ ’I’ll be back at lunchtime for a couple of loads’ Saved me a days work. You don’t ask, you don’t get. -
You contradicted yourself in your post. I pointed it out, and off you fly with your standard tirade of insults and bombast, thinking you can just shout people down with insults over the internet. Of course you knew what I was referring to, it was as clear as day.

Looks like they were pruning/reducing gather than a mass fell.

Normal from this guy.

Either they’ll make a clusterfook of it or nothing much will change. Not for the first time, make your mind up!

I think you should show us a picture of the tree that people have tried to help you identify.

They (Labour) are miles ahead in the polls, considering how disliked the Tories are the best strategy KS can employ is to keep his head down, avoid gaffes, distance himself from political liabilities like Corbyn and Dianne Abbott and walk it at next election.

Got the address? If that’s the front of the house google street view will give an ‘in leaf’ pic.

It’s toast. Get it out and replant. -
I always used to sing the lyrics ‘it’s like a death row hard-on, two minutes too late’ to the song Ironic by Alanis Morrisette. Then whilst singing it loud and proud in the van one day the groundy did the old ’what did you just say?’ (death row pardon btw)
