    I ground a line of leylandii stumps along side a wire fence with that green plastic screening fabric. Melted a nice line all along. Client was ok.

    No bonfire pretty much anywhere here (France). All the more incentive for clients to to give it the old “while you’re here with your machine would you mind if…”

    There’s a guy on Instagram called Travor in Trees, he’s a contract climber. He divides opinion a bit to say the least. Anyway he fooked up a bit of rigging, all his fault and spent a couple of minutes berating an entirely innocent Nate on the ground crew. It went a bit viral and it became a trope on the tree work sosh.

    Anyway, Igor keeps an eye on proceedings, no slacking, no fraternising with cats or client’s dogs.

    Looking for your fix of a bit of drama Daniel?

    Disgraceful post. Absolutely true of course

    I can only speak personally. I don’t know what’s in the pile, I have had countless clients swear blind that it’s all clean wood etc. only to find wire, roots or stones in it. I normally only chip what I’ve cut myself. When a client says ’I’ve started it myself, to keep the price down’ or words to that effect. I always think ‘well you wasted your time there then’ As I said, you may get someone hungry enough to cut you a deal. I’m only telling you how I approach it and every other guy who’s been doing it for a while does as well.

    Good luck to you mate. I always charge more (or just walk away) if someone has started the job and left a load of crap on the floor for me to deal with. But you might get lucky.

    Sorry to hear.

    I rarely, if ever, watch crane or mewp vids now.

    If you put the jockey wheel high so it’s only on the rear wheels it’s easy to manœuvre. On flat ground I can spin my big tipping trailer no probs.

    There’s a bloke on FB, Bart chipper Doctor or something, travels the country fixing TWs. Seems to know his stuff. 07518404414

    Incredible isn’t it? The French IW dealer near me has practically given up on them, started getting other makes in to fill the showroom. Maybe start looking for other brands?

    Not just yet Stubs!

    I saw August Hunicke use them once on his Vermeers, but not since. Seemed good at the time, but depends on the flow. Jury is out for me

    How come? Are they talking to you from beyond the grave?

    Is that price inclusive of VAT?

    He was brilliant as Queen Mary 1.

    Denis Waterman 74 years old. Good career, part of my TV life.

    Agreed, my blue mark 2 was mostly pug, I wrote it off fairly quickly of course.

    They were always pricey. Mk1 Golfs. A 3 litre Capri Rs2000 All were deeply out of fashion and selling for buttons. Fetching really strong money now.

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I should have bought all the Yamaha FS1Es I could get my hands on for a couple of hundred quid back in the late eighties.

    Speaking of ads. They’ve pulled that one with the gorgeous black girl who goes jogging in the middle of the night through London meeting ‘interesting’ offbeat characters because she doesn’t conform. It might be for a bank or something. I watched it and immediately thought that she’d be raped and killed by the end of the week.

    I find it a very condescending turn of phrase. If an artisan said to me ‘I’m trying to educate you here’ I’d kick them off the property.
