Can you legally use someone else's equipment?

I just don't lend any of my kit that matters to me. Here endeth the lesson. -
Should the last photo have a caption "Oops"?🙈
-
Morning all, Cooled down here too.
-
Not guilty Mr Eggs.
-
Afternoon, Even later than Bob. Just needed to take things slowly this morning. Had a good day in most ways yesterday but it was marred by things coming to a head with one team member (subbie) who always thinks very, very differently from me about site safety, and likes to tell customers he is "not risk averse". Won't be working for me again.
-
Morning all, Blue sky and hot again. Chippings being left on site today, in a lovely shaded are in a copse. Rest of site is open to sun. No fighting over who is chipping please.
-
Morning all, Another hot one coming and hotter tomorrow. After nearly 8 hours in the mewp yesterday, not in the shade, I am taking it easier today, pottering in the yard. Then full on again tomorrow when hotter, extracting a fallen oak from a gully. Keep the water flowing.
-
Morning all, Suncream again.
-
Morning all, Lazy day.
-
Morning all, Another good day here. As Mick says, seems to be getting busier again now. Who knows what causes these fluctuations in demand for arb work? Nor me for sure.
-
Morning all, Lovely day again here. Mowing, taking unchippable brash to recycling depot, drinking coffee.
-
Morning all, Looking good again here. Another day with the mewp, need to remember how to climb soon. Taking suncream to work, whatever next.
-
Morning all, Beautiful morning here, with 19 degrees forecast, and 23 for next week. Off to do my rescheduled IPAF renewal this morning. I wasn't surprised yesterday to get an email saying the provider's spider lift had a problem, and could I take mine along for the day. In anticipation of just this scenario I had left it on the trailer from the job on Monday. Don't forget the suncream😀

You do have my sympathy with the Iveco problem. Why, oh why, does my 2014 Daily have an ECU for the towbar electrics in the first place, and why, but why, is it positioned right behind the rear wheel waiting for water and salt deposition. Changed the fan belt on my 1975 series 3 Land Rover a few days ago, £4.80 and all is well again. Hope you get the gremlins sorted.
-
Morning all, Dry and grey here. Yesterday turned into a lovely sunny day surprisingly. I was subbing with my mewp to a pair of brothers who are relatively new in the game. They seem really decent and someone I can gradually pass on my longstanding regulars to as I slow down.
-
Morning all, Forecast says dry here, but sky not so certain. Got a power line shutdown today with the mewp, yes you've guessed it, I have got covid from my wife. On the bright side I haven't got to climb, and it is an easy enough job.
-
Morning all, Supposedly no rain until 4pm here. If so I'll do the mowing for next door's and our lawns. Not exactly making hay, and certainly not while the absent sun shines!
-
Morning all, Wet here again as well. Reckon we are heading for the news of "coldest/wettest June since bla bla". Still, at least I managed to get a job done last week, where we had been waiting ages for the ground to be dry enough to allow machinery into field.
-
Morning all, Change of plan today. Was booked to do my IPAF refresher course today, booked it months ago. Rang yesterday to just check all still good, only to be told I was not on the list. Got them to squeeze me in next week, and at least they gave me £50 off for their error. Spannering today it is then.
-
A lad who used to work for me had been with a boss who only started the payable hours when the team got to sight. I don't know what planet the employer thought he was on, nor how he got away with such outright abuse. Maybe because it was in an area with high unemployment? Still utterly wrong.
-
Morning all, Like Doug said, weather was very unusual yesterday. My head leaked too and my eyes were stinging with sweat running into them. Most baffling. Never fear, the rain is back here, this afternoon, and probably tomorrow.
-
Morning all, Dry and hopefully 14 degrees at noon. Yippee. Going to fell remainder of large chestnut that we took the back off yesterday. into a gulley, then wonder how to get it out.
-
Morning all, Some rain expected and 8 degrees. I'll be wearing thermal under layer up in the mewp then, with rainwear to hand.
-
Morning all, Wet again today but next two days look good. Got to drop a dying chestnut into a gulley on a field then winch it all out into the field - which has only just become dry enough for such activity. Gave in and put the heating on yesterday. F ---ing June it's called.
-
Sounds like a real contrast to recently when you quoted wearing shorts.
