Just curious what everyone would quote for this
Mick Dempsey replied to arbormonkey's topic in Business Management
You win some, you lose some. Tbh I don't really want a response if they don't want me to do it (I'll only chase if it's a complex quote or I went a long way out of my way) I assume I was too expensive or they just don't like me. Or, as happened on one Sunday morning after a heavy session and the clocks had changed, they weren't impressed with me falling over on their lawn, clearly still drunk. -
I didn't mind it because you explained that you effed it up (in a nice and honest way) But at the end of the day you did cock it up so it's likely you would be liable for some stick. sometimes in "forum world" the first few posts of a thread can set a sort of precedent. I would not have put it up myself for just that reason. Not of course that I have EVER made a mistake!:elefant:

Countryfile BBC1 tonight ( Sunday)
Mick Dempsey replied to Forest2Furniture's topic in Milling Forum
I'll watch it because you're on it! Well done. On another note what is Countryfile these days? They seen to have run out of things to talk about. Most of it has very little to do with the countryside and farming. It just seems to have lost its way. I used to like Springwatch but there's only so many owl chicks you can marvel at. At least they didn't have rutting stags on the isle of mull, that drove me crazy with boredom. -
There is still a Woods garden machinery place in Warnham.

Plus you can be a brilliant rigger, ace at reductions and good with clients but if your flyer delivery is inadequate, it could cost you a lot of work.

Morning. I have to admit I had not thought of eels! I'll check the cupboard see if I've any I've forgotten about. I reckon the best plan would be to go down there and dig down to remove a few metres of silt, but I don't mind climbing up a great big tree, no way I'm lowering myself down a hole, it's a good 10 Mtrs to the water. Might find some hidden wartime gold though.

Or put them higher, it became a bloody circus in the end.

My mate still uses one of those, brutal but effective, is it right there's no suspension on the axles? A pig to tow.

In answer to Cov's question.... Having followed threads like this over the years on here, And bearing in mind I left the UK a decade ago! Here's what I reckon. Top climber, topper, and rigging kit, in the right locale ie, London or other major conurbation, just shy of 200 quid, More inexperienced climber in a less affluent area 100 quid with a sliding scale in between.

I guess, but I had this dream of endless clean, clear water! I had the rainwater collectors as well, the problem with them was I couldn't get any pressure to irrigate. If you added up all the money I spent on those, hoses, valves etc, plus the pump (€250) it buys a lot of water from SAUR. Plus those 1000ltr cubes are ugly blighters. We've got great pressure here anyway. I gave it up as more bother than it's worth.
-
I purchased a pump at great expense for our well. Cue gushing crystal clear water over our flower beds for 20 minutes! Then the well ran dry and took days to refill. Sold it half price weeks later.

I thought that trunk was going to keep going.

Good practice for the keyhole cut anyway. 560 well up to the job with pop. Good pics.

I don't want one but does look good getting into tight spaces. Who's going to clear that mess up in pic 5?

Some people traffikers were trying to smuggle illegal migrants into America in Jon's Land Rover. Am I right? -
Larch perhaps, do the needles drop in winter?

And Ron Moody, great career as well. "My proudest moment was the number "Reviewing the Situation". I suspect that, because I gave my all to the role, and because I was working with such a fine team of people, it inhibited my future career. I turned down quite a few offers afterwards because I thought the people didn't come close to those I'd worked with on Oliver!- which in retrospect was a mistake."
