  1. My Nephew was in Oz for a year, found FB sites like this very useful when driving around.
  2. Gene Hackman’s dog on hearing he’s in on the pact.
  3. Well it’s like a lot of things in tree work, I think Semantics is the word. You can describe topping a lime tree in many ways. Reduction. Round over. Topping. Or the first stage of a belated (though still viable) pollard cycle leading to periodic reassessment and cyclical re-implementation. As Mark says, the difference is usually the price.
  4. I hope it wasn’t something sinister. Anyway Gene Hackman was a great actor. Here he is in a brilliant film, Mississippi Burning.
  5. I baulk a bit at describing homeowners as clueless, usually better educated than me. If I had to explain it, I’d use exactly the same language as I would use on here. Or is that your question?
  6. Wordle 1,349 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  7. The non-deductible VAT on the double cabs makes sense.
  8. Ash, all day long and twice on Sundays (as Stubby says)
  9. Just so I’m up to date, is this still only the 4 door/4 proper seat jobs?
  10. Wordle 1,348 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟨🟩⬜⬜ 🟨🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  11. My advice would be listen to the experts. Plant two more in its place.
  12. I would describe that as a retrenchment. Almost certainly a dead top.
  13. Looks to me like it’s on its way home, the reduction was probably OK’ed by the council as a way of rendering it safer and managing the decline, provide habitat etc. Just let it do it’s thing, could be decades (or a lot less) before you have to pull the trigger.
  14. It doesn’t look good. Can you take some pictures of the tree in its entirety so we can see the reduction?
  15. Well there is that I suppose.
  16. Wordle 1,347 6/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Didn’t do much wrong in all honesty.
  17. Wordle 1,346 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Good start to the week.
  18. Judging by my battery saws, that looks normal. They don’t seem to oil much, make sure the hole in the bar is clear.
  19. Dunno….70 quid maybe.
  20. You can throw good money after bad, it’s a 20 year old saw. You could have it rebuilt from top to bottom spending half the price of a new one and have it blow 2 weeks later.
  21. Wordle 1,345 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  22. Do you have to announce where you live on your advertising?
  23. Why go ltd? Stay sole trader and no one knows any different.
