@KateH One good thing about this job, compared to say the building trade, is our old friend ‘job and knock’ which means that for many (most?) firms you get a job to do and if you finish the job early, you finish work early, down the pub or on the sofa or whatever you like. This rewards guys who hit it hard for the first few hours, then cruise to the finish line. I can’t remember the last late finish we’ve had.

‘I find it insulting that you or others keep mentioning my wages’

You won’t get one. You’ll get prevarication, obfuscation and if all else fails they’ll wheel out Covid.

Take it out. Thoughtless planting.

South Bucks - a couple of days work for someone ?

What was the upshot of that grinding work you posted in 2016? -
So now you know what ‘proffer’ means.

I think as they say, he asked first. Go on Andy, proffer up something!

Ha ha! ’our achievements so far’ Taken back control of our borders.

But a real word that changed the meaning of your post, not a clear typo. I asked you the meaning (politely) you get all defensive, don’t even check it to see the mistake and make an even bigger arse of yourself.
-
You used the word ‘proffering’
-
1: It’s a transitive verb. 2: Because you didn’t know what it meant.
-
No.

What’s proffering mean in that context?

Can’t help cos I don’t do logs. But if I did I’d get a processor, have you considered that?

Difficult to say, I do work related stuff every day, even Sunday, sharpening, servicing etc. But my yard/workshop is right here attached to the house so it’s easy. On the other hand we finished at midday today so I could watch football. Theres no clear line between work and not work for me, so can’t really vote.

When Iceland beat England a couple of tournaments back they had a camera in the Welsh hotel. They celebrated like they’d won the WC themselves.

They killed my goats.

Comfortable enough win for England, though defence seems shaky. Rooting for the US now.

The only time I’ve encountered narrow boat life is some work I did years ago at Chichester marina. Took some trees out overhanging some over a canal. Interesting, but not for me. You’re experienced at it so it’s eyes wide open. Good luck.

Watching Lineker, Alex Scott and Shearer going on was stomach churning. Anyway Qatar look woeful

Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version

Every winter on one of our walks I marvel at the autumn fruit of this persimmon in the orchard of a neighbour. How I wish I’d planted one in my garden.

We all would, but that’s not how it works, in any country. -
