Cup of Yorkshire for me.

Got to be honest I am rather ignorant to the whole Israel/Palestine conflict in the sense of I know nothing about the conflict or the history there but I have to say that is a scary graphic!

I'm glad he stayed true to himself and was honest regardless of the backlash and possible damage to his career, in my book that takes guts. If he has crack pot views (your words) based on his religious beliefs what about the crack pot views that come from other religions? Food for thought, he gave his view but also stated the law wouldn't change and accepted that women can and do have the right to make their own choice. He gave his view but accepted others, (one could argue he has demonstrated multiculturalism) you and others are claiming he is extreme with crack pot views. (One could argue narrow minded and can't accept multi cultures)

Nobody is making them do anything. Right here goes ..... multiculturalism is supposedly where all races religions and creeds etc etc etc integrate and get on regardless of beliefs with respect for each other's beliefs in the same street, village, town, city, country again etc etc now on this thread especially we have people defending this and people opposed to this normally through the immigration argument. Now I'm not saying your extreme eggs in any way (genuinely know your not) but surely being against someone's religious view as you are to moggs is proof multiculturalism doesn't work on a very basic argumentative level yet people oppose matelots views to stop 3rd world immigration!? Now if we allow other religions from the 3rd world to live amongst us do you think you'll agree with their religions and beliefs? Sharia law is already being practised in the UK is this ok? Confused. Absolutely cant believe I have just kind of defended matelot

I'm not going to insult your intelligence this thread is littered with hypocrisy.

Mogg does not oppose abortion he just disagrees with it. To me he is in a no win situation he is in a corner and is having what fits piers morgans agenda dragged out of him. He sticks to HIS morals and at the very least has the back bone to be honest. Im sure his beliefs are based on his religion which in this instance is horrendous how dare those Catholics!!! Strange how we defend the Koran yet throw stones at the bible.

Hi my name is Spartacus.

Steve do you find the scafells a tight fit or do the break in well? Boots have come today and I'm unsure, I'm a 9 tried a mates on in a 10 and thought wayyy too big my new ones in a 9 feel very snug. If they break in I'll keep them if not I'll send them back for something else. Thanks

Time for a new pair, what are we all wearing? Looking at scafel lights.

Thanks for sorting that mess out, phew war averted!

Personally think China and Russia should sort this one. Jong Un the wrong 'un is clearly goading Trump into a war and I fear without intervention soon from elsewhere Jong Un will get his wish. It it could be worse it could have happened in the Bush/Blair era!!!

North Korea, what are people's thoughts on what is going on? What should, if anything, be done? By who? Etc.

I would want more than £100 a day for dragging and chipping using all my own kit.

If the USA landed on the moon in 69 how come no one has done it since in our tech advancing world? Imagine the research that could be done with today's equipment and the pictures and videos would be amazing!

When I section big stuff if I know it's going to pinch at the top for example, tension/compression I cut a small gob in the top so when I go in underneath I can see the gob closing and my saw never gets trapped. Alternitively if you reach over and cut into the wood vertically then move the saw round so your cutting in on top horizontally then vertically again on your side of the log the wood will behave in a way showing you where the tension and compression is, if that makes sense.

Been dropping some big oaks this week, I'll post some more later in the week. IMG_4512.MP4

Like I said I offered advise to draw some money in as you want to leave the country my intention was not to p1ss up your back or come across as negative about your business just my tuppence on widening your audience for a return. Your little speech in response to me earned a cheeky one in return I am no where near you geographically have no intentions of moving and am doing very well on my own but thanks for offering. Hope you sell it as you intend to.

Which bit is wrong? Selling kit has a greater audience? Potential buyers will more than likely be from your area hence smaller audience? You have built the relationships with your customers it is your reputation they are paying for? Tech savvy world web sites, logos and business cards are ten a penny? Im intrigued to hear which is wrong?! For what it is worth I was offering advice not being negative. If you think hunk this place is full of primadonnas why post it on here? (Strange) MacDonalds pretty sure you mean McDonalds and to be frank only ever eaten there nothing else. You have a turnover of 70k and 40k of that is profit now my math says that leaves 30k operating costs now you say the staff will stay customers know THEM well, implying more than one now what are you paying them as well as fuel, machinery downtime, insurance vehicle and business etc etc etc lets say staff of 2 minimal number on 14k each (McDonalds wage) that leaves 2k to spend on everything else . . . . Doesn't look like a good venture this? Either that or the books are wrong and the profit is less hmmm. Hows that hat for a negative break down?

I did a job for a neighbour a couple of year ago, went round to price up topping a few conifers and general tidying up of shrubs nothing over the top just a tidy up so I gave them a really cheap day rate said it's more of a favour (they are getting on a bit). Turn up up on the day to be met with professional drawings from her son who is a draughtsman, I politely told them there is more work on the drawings than we talked about (mainly the front garden which definitely wasn't spoke about) so we either talk about adding more £ to the price or I do as was originally spoke about minus the drawings. Initially they wernt best pleased however after an honest chat I said I can leave them to find someone else, be paid more or carry out what we spoke about, they agreed for me to crack on. Multiple times I was asked to do more throughout the job each time I said ok but it will be more £ and each time they said no it's ok. They where made up with the end results but for me it was a long naggy day which taught me a valuable lesson from that day on I'm a mercanary if you want my services you pay my price or you go elsewhere and as it stands it has stood me in good stead. Favours are for family and and close friends everybody else can pay their way.

Finally took the plunge @Steve Bullman rope guide, SJ3 and positioner 2. Its took a bit of getting used to going all ART but definitely worth it! Climbing is effortless now and I suppose going all ART one compliments the other but my fave bit of the kit has to be the rope guide so thanks to all who recommended it as it is costly to justify but definitely worth the plunge!

A bad screw is better than a good nail.

I think you would be better selling your kit and getting what you can back money wise that way. Your audience would be greater as people will travel to buy a van chipper saws and cutters etc etc however the business sale has a target audience of your area and frankly the reputation is yours not the businesses the phone numbers and contacts are worthless to someone with no rappor with those customers and logos web sites etc well that ain't worth much in this tech savvy world. Sorry for being blunt but if you are in a rush for some money return, sell the assets and forget the business.

Got to be honest I love the new mobile friendly site, I'm always on my phone and I prefer this to the old app now that I have had a few days to get used.

Too much clutter, spaced out. Oxymoron springs to mind.

Personally having spent a few days on here now think it's great! There are a couple of improvements to be had which I've posted about to Steve but that's to be expected as it's new, I'll give it 3 months for people to be used then that old layout will be forgot about. I used to use the app but having got used to this in mobile view I'll not bother with the app as I think this is fast and easy to navigate once used to it. Got to say I don't mind if I'm in the miority here but I prefer this to the old! With Steve you also know you'll get the teething problems ironed out and suggestions for improvement looked at and carried out if they can be and if they make sense.
