  1. Well it was someone else then, I’ll try and find out.
  2. You’ve posted on this thread since page 1 Jules. Not sure why you now decide to give the definitive answer. I think the OP wanted it revoked because he thought it would adversely impact the price/sale of the property. Whole thing never made a lick of sense from the start.
  3. l will repeat something I posted before about media reporting. In an interview with Tommy Docherty after he got sacked by Man United he was asked if he felt the newspapers got him the the sack. His reply “Yes they did, the kept publishing the results”
  4. It’s just a bad period at the moment, these things are cyclical. We don’t know we’re having good times when we’re having them (2011 to 2020 for example) we just assume that it’s always going to be like that. This lot remind me of the end of the John Major administration, no talent, no vision, no hope. I’ve never voted Labour in my life, but I would now, this shambles cannot go on.
  5. Thought it was a reasonable pun actually.
  6. In fairness I’m happy with the Schliesing and the GM. The Först nearly put me in therapy, never ever again.
  7. Lots of talk about Liz Truss sacking Kwasi Kwarteng. Has to call an election surely? Bloody clown show.
  8. I suppose you’re trying to build a YouTube channel of yourself as a kind of topless motorcyclist gardener, comical really. If you want to see professional hedge cutting check out Leebyng on Instagram.
  9. According to that vid it’s how this system works. Or am I wrong? Not a hill I want to die on but it looks like this platypus system is being used.
  10. They can’t be all bad I guess, enough people seem to buy them.
  11. In fairness, you don’t decide when to end a thread, just like you don’t decide when and how to cut your tree. Theres a sort of symmetry in that I suppose.
  12. Yeah sorry, I just feel really strongly about it My nephew sweated like Katie Price on Father’s Day in his, seemed like a hell of a weight to sit on your noggin all day.
  13. Those Protos seem very heavy, I have a husky arborist lid. Very light and comfortable. I am all in favour of constructive debate so.. Stick your Protos up your arse.
  14. So is it the mesh or the strops that will stop root growth? It hasn’t got feet, it has roots that will not be inhibited in spreading out by the strops.
  15. Not ideal I agree, but how will it strangle the rootball? It’s only 1 strop.
  16. I’d enjoy finding that out as well. If no one responds I’ll make up an answer.
  17. Good to see my gloves are clean, dry and ready for another days work!
  18. Surely the pump being wanked is the most obvious answer.
  19. We are all dying, some more slowly than others. Might be worth getting a tree bloke to come and have a closer look for cavities, fungi etc. Very difficult to assess properly from photos. Clearly had some major lower limbs removed, that’s the first thing to investigate.
  20. Fook all to do with Meghan and Harry in reality.
  21. This was asked on a FB forum run by that tree business guru guy who comes on here occasionally. Anyway bones of it was yes, just put it through.
  22. No, I dont think this needs to be expanded out. Being anti TPO doesn’t mean I’m anti bureaucracy or a libertarian or whatever pigeon hole you want to put people in. For instance in many French planning conditions you have to use a certain colour render or tiles on your house to match the rest of the village, and I agree with that. It means I’ve seen a system of local governance without TPOs, TOs etc. and it’s ok, plenty of trees everywhere in gardens. Like all English tree guys I was ‘born’ into the idea that they (TOs) are an essential part of the furniture. I reckon that maybe 1% of what has TPOs on actually deserves to be conserved by law.
