I charge the same rate whether I’m on the floor or climbing when I sub out it is up to the few I sub too to use me how they see fit. Personally I bring my own kit and fuel as I know my kit and fuel mix etc. As for using other people’s toppers well that’s not for me but it’s each to their own I sharpen my saws the way I like them to run for me I have upmost confidence in my kit so it’s my kit I use. Arb work is straightforward in that everybody knows the end goal on each job before a saw is started so as long as you have a good work ethic are fit, pro active and good to get along with you’ll do ok and most importantly everyday is a school day, always be open to learning something new or achieving a task in a new/different manner. I charge the same same on the basis that if I’m on the floor because that’s where you need me I’m not wasting a day earning less than I could climbing but also I’m of the attitude that everyone is equal climbers are not better than groundies and visa versa the team’s efficiency depends on everyone performing together and being proactive rather than being reactive and waiting for instruction.

I thought you liked to be part of the bigger picture and not be singular and secluded from the world. Your one of a kind vesp! Ill see if I can find it online for you.

It was on bbc mate not sure if it is still on iPlayer.

Well you will be looking for a long time, the nations within the EU are not on a parity. All pay different rates, all being told to take different amounts of immigrants reducing coal power by varying amounts. All with varying amounts of debt paying back interest before being able to spend on public services. Watch Greece with Simon Reeves and Turkey with Simon Reeves, some nations are in to take others are told to give, Germany is far from stable at the moment the EU will end up in a civil war when the rich nations become too elite for the poor within it. Protecting borders is quite rich seeing that its opened them. We have the UN and NATO to project military power.

Why dont you emigrate to North Korea or Russia, sounds like it may be your cup of tea.

As a side note, I heard a whisper 2018 will be the last year diesel chippers (not sure if it applies to all plant) can be made to run without a DPF filter due to EU environmental demands. Red Diesel doesn’t work well with DPF it forever clogs the filter soooo white diesel it is then! Oh Joy thanks EU.

The problem with looking outside of the box is you dont know what you are looking for, sometimes the answer is in front of you in the box a bit like when you needed scissors instead of a knife, simple really. If we strike a free trade agreement with the EU on our exit vesp, do you think business will carry on as is? I think business will carry on as is regardless because at its core and most basic it is the likes of me selling to you not gov to gov I have bills to pay as will you. We will still be climbing on a multitude of ropes and stihl and husky saws will still be readily available we will not be confined to marlow and bow saws.

Suppose it depends on the individual and what he/she ispaid. A few negatives he/she could bring:- - Bad attitude - Poor work ethic - No experience A few positives:- - Great attitude - Gumption to do and not wait to be told what to do - Experience on the ground, saw, and running ropes - Area Rescue Kit ie saw not essential but a plus. Personally I like to use my own kit whether climbing or on the ground but my price reflects that when I sub out.

To be fair these types of threads are in GENERAL CHAT, it’s a bit like when you go to the supermarket you don’t have to buy every item however 90% of the time you have to walk by every item.

Sh!t!!!! That’s a horror!

Suppose its how he did it every time and 98 times out of 100 there was no mewp or film crew and the mewp and film crew where there to watch him do it his way.

Fair enough, hope all goes well when you decide to stop.

How honest are you!! Surely you could pick jobs and climb less? Past your best is still better than most?!

Yes I think that’s a habit I’ll start! Its a great bit of kit though and wouldn’t be without one now. I wanted my TIP as high as possible today (lots of fannying about and limb walking) so I had it in a V maybe that was the problem?! Retirement on the mind @Steve Bullman or a change in direction? Tell me to mind my own if you like.

Supposed to not get stuck these things, had mine stuck twice this week! 1st Time I managed to get it down with a lot of persuasion, it came flying out like a rocket! Today it really cheesed me off getting a 2nd rope out and a Blake’s to go up and retrieve it!!!! It made me appreciate my SJ3. Has as anyone else got their rope guide stuck?

Gotta love a bit of dibnah.

Germany’s not looking too stable.

I work for an NHS Foundation Trust as well as for myself. I live in the NHS bubble as far as elderly go yes they cost but point 1 thaeyve paid in all of their lives point 2 caring for them isn’t where the cost or complications solely come into play it’s catching up with Alzheimer’s dementia and Parkinson’s etc that used to be rare so didn’t receive funding. Now it needs research. Health tourism I wish was a scare story but the fact is it isn’t it is a real problem being brushed under the carpet the fact is no one keeps a count on health tourism , it’s let go so as to not show how big of a problem it is. I did bend that case but that’s what you keep doing to suit your narratives. Thanks, I will keep reiterating I have no issue with immigrants who want to come here and earn a crust I do feel we would benefit though from a points based system like Aus.

Your bending the situation to suit your point, they tend not hmm this is tosh it’s a mixed bag some work here and leave sure but lots stay and bring their families too. To be fair I have no problem with immigrants coming here to better their lives providing they work for it instead of taking handouts! Immigration is the nhs’s Biggest problem by far however they don’t document the problem why well to hide it. Last year there where more applications for an ehic card from outside the UK it’s a growing problem. Individuals use dodgy companies to gain a british postal address apply for ehic make a doctors appointment visit UK for appointment fly home have paperwork completed by dodgy company then low and behold dodgy company collects mail from UK address and posts ehic on all for a fee to the dodgy company so we pay for their care outside the UK! You couldn’t make it up! Imigrants if they have worked here holidayed here or even fly here to give birth can walk into any A&E and receive treatment without paying a penny for us to do that abroad we need ehic + insurance. Now ill bend facts to suit my agenda here goes ..... my UK adult aged 65 has not yet retired and has never been ill or unemployed he’s paid tax from 16 years of age and is still paying tax hasn’t really needed much from the NHS vs an EU immigrant aged 30 who’s been here for 5 years in construction has left his family back home so supports them by sending 50% of his salary Home also hasn’t needed the NHS but needed somewhere to live when he came with no money. Which outcome is better for UK? I’m not going to persuade you to change your mind on in or out and you won’t change mine you are free to hold whatever opinion you like without being labelled narrow minded or retarded I will still respect your opinion you’ve earned it however a touch of class in return seems too much to hope for from camp remain. IMO their is no correct answer only a direction and a work in progress I have worked all of my life paid my my taxes served my country returned the forces investment by touring before leaving haven’t yet needed the nhs much and would like my opinion to be not heard or adhered but at the least respected without being labelled narrow minded or retarded and before you say those comments weren’t aimed at me directly you labelled half well more than half of the exit voters that way so statistically 1 in 2 leaver on here are narrow minded or retarded. I just thank god @matelot is on side leave with me only kidding @matelot

If you look around houses are being built by private or plc companies for profit via sale to the paying public, the amount of housing associations building for social housing is small fry. Last year I did a lot of days subbying on land clearance for housing to be built all on multiple sights, none where for social housing. As a side not my brexit argument is not immigration biased I find it hard to believe yours is yet your happy working away as an immigrant, smarts don’t come into it.

It doesn’t matter the 15 year plans have already changed they won’t change them again. Greenbelt is already being built built on in massive proportions this will not be reversed. It is is far easier for builders to build on virgin land than it is to regenerate brownfield. We we are already playing catch up on housing so it’s carry on as is until there is no demand which will be never be the case housing will always concertina.

I found Mr Barniers point very interesting the other day when we conceded that we’d allow immigrants already here a visa to stay pending criminal checks he said no they stay without criminal checks! Who have we taken in and what have they to hide? hmm

Green belt is already being ravaged to be built on and with lots of councils up and down the country having there 15 year plans re-written being in or out of the EU won’t change this.
