So with the exception of Norway, you will need to be granted a work visa or permit for Sweden and Finland in advance. I would assume that visas/permits are issued where skills shortages have been identified, rather than handed out to anyone irrelevant of need, like sweeties.

I am English but have lived and worked in several countries over the years, I moved to France for a different way of life, I work both here and occasionally in the UK.
-
No point finding work if you are not eligible to do it though. You can travel for 90 days, but you can’t work unless you have an EU passport, or have applied for and been granted a work visa.

What you talking about about Willis?

Without question, and even if it was within RIDDOR days, would it even qualify to be required to e acknowledged, sounds like user error bullshit to me.

Unfortunately times have changed and although you never left the UK and just drove around in a van, those halcion days are no more, and any young person without any imagination is ****************ed without an an EU passport due to Brexit. You can’t just rock up anywhere in the EU any more without an EU passport and get work, Brexit ended that option, but at least a few welders go apprenticeships on Tyneside so all is well, eh?

I reckon you could get a decent sized mulcher in and still have plenty of change. Be easier to mark off areas for chip, log, firewood for next time round. Do Joslet not have a forestry mulcher?

Can you not do the equivalent European Chainsaw Course in Belgium? -

Scott Fraser Training, Ground-up Training, Landskills or Kingswood would be the nearest to the tunnel. -
When I am cutting/climbing, I can’t think of any part of my body that is less likely to come into contact with the saw than the back of my legs and my feet.

And don’t forget this Mark, you would feel naked and unprotected without it.

They were Type -B, not seen them for years.

Class 1 = 20m/s which is the approximate chain speed of the saws you mention, so why would HSE/Insurance have anything to say?
-
Looks like a simple case of powdery mildew due to the excessive heat here. It will probably be gone by the end of next week if the current forecast for rain is correct.

As rumours go, this is an old one. New rumour is that Sweden are going down the two rope climbing route as from August.

Rhododendron makes excellent charcoal as firewood it tends to spit so better for wood burners.

I was at the last pulp gig at Glastonbury in 1995. It was the year before everything went digital and people became a slave to their phones. Jarvis told us about some incredible news that had happened on the other side of the fence, int’uvver world, that we would find out about in a couple of days. Turned out that the knives were out and Thatcher had been stabbed in the back by her own kind, incredible. Watched them in London a couple of weeks back as I couldn’t get Glasto tickets.

You can buy the hessian impregnated with seed.

Helping a mate out on one of his jobs today. Removing three 25m conifers, two Corsican pine and a Douglas fir, no rigging, just stripped and topped for felling, customer added an additional small Larch to the spec. Masses of chipping, ran 15 cubic metres worth off to a Chateau just up the road. Felled the Douglas between the posts and called it a day as it was still 34 degrees in the shade.

From the information that I have looked at, it seems the change in the law is to protect surgeons so that they can aid women who require late term abortions e.g - due to their foetus being dead and needing it removing, or the foetus developing critical/chronic/dangerous health issues in late term. It’s changed to protect both surgeon and mother from criminal prosecution, I don’t have a problem with it personally.

Not work job related but after quite a few heavy hints last month, I received a fantastic ’Father’s Day’ present from the kids, a Tasmanian Tree Fern (Dickinsonia antarctica). So this morning we cleared an unkempt, shaded shrub bed, which was bordered by broken concrete slabs, and replanted, manured, mulched and watered. We then created a new border with the remains of the stone used in the construction of the bread oven. I planted one of these ferns back at my old place in Lancashire 30 years ago, it is still going strong in the care of the new owner.

That was before the ‘Tedious Two’ and the new ‘pseudo hard man’ decided it was okay to continually shit in everyone’s ears, day after day after day after day, with nothing to say, boring tedious barstools.

Did anyone have a gander at the new Greenmech 135 TT at the recent APF? if so, what where your thoughts? TIA

Currently picking a daily glut of red fruits, cultivated and wild strawberries, and a massive crop of cherries after a disappointing season last year.

Apparently there is a generic football match going on tonight in Munich , the French club won, hallelujah ****************ing hallelujah, I’ll be kept up all night by incessant horn blowing by Arab taxi drivers all night. Fortunately I spent my evening doing something slightly more interesting, The Flaming Lips were playing tonight at a small theatre in the centre of Town. Not seen them since Manchester circa 2003, didn’t think would see them live again in my lifetime, took the kids to see them too, back to the grind on Tuesday but a great weekend all in.
