When I've had a list from you that isn’t directly from Tory Government pages, non Brexiteer affiliated and doesn’t include any factors that can hide behind Covid or Ukraine as a contributing factor.

Okay, I’ll put the kids to bed, google for a minute and post some spurious links a bit later, yawn.

Is this aimed at me? Get a government that has a clue what to do about the cluster**************** they have got the UK into would be a start, there’s no going back now.

There are loads of lists to find, just as spurious as yours, check em out, your great at googling the answer.

The fact is, if there was anything amazing to brag about concerning Brexit and the benefits to the UK economy, Farage and every other Tory Brexiteer would be shouting from the rooftops, they have nothing to brag about and neither have you.

How long do you think you can hide the fact that Brexit has been disastrous for the UK economy behind the Covid cop out?

I could google ‘Brexit detriment to the UK economy’ and put up the link, it would take seconds, but what would be the point? It like saying ‘My dads bigger than your dad’.

Yeah, but it was the quickest thing he could come up with as he has an empty list, it’s right at the top in any search engine.

I asked you for a list of benefits that Brexit has brought to the UK economy, you came back with none. I didn’t ask you to type ‘benefits of Brexit’ in a search engine, I can do that myself.

It’s a load of bollocks.

Yeah, I googled that as well.

You got that long list of how Brexit has benefited the UK economy yet?

Okay, give us a list of the Brexit benefits to the UK economy.

Just because we have been screwed over by Covid/lockdowns etc doesn’t mean that Brexit hasn’t had a massive detrimental effect on the UK economy, it has.

What you confused about?

I’ll send you some over from France if you like. 😉

I was in the Cardiff Arms in Cardiff watching England play Slovenia/Moldavia or some other footballing minnow, circa 2003-4. They scored a goal against us just before half time, the place erupted with celebrations followed by hatred and bile, I wish them all the best, but support Wales, F**k that.

Hard to say from the photos, but the planks at the back on the first image look likely to be Cherry if it’s a hardwood, maybe Spruce if it’s a softwood.

Refresher training is still ‘Advisory’ in the eyes of the HSE. If you work for any organisation who have signed up to FISA, Forestry England/Woodland Trust/ Tilhill/ Euroforest etc refresher training is compulsory, every 3-5 years. Since the corrupt organisation that is FISA has ceased doing refresher training, NPTC have created their own. You basically redo your original assessment to demonstrate that you are still ‘competent’, but the assessor can also conduct training and demonstrate new kit/techniques that will increase your knowledge.

In twenty years you will look back all nostalgic at these simpler times.

Dirkha Dirkha Jihad Jihad.

Imagine if the USA actually won the tournament, they would officially be ( in their own eyes at least) the best in the world at absolutely everything.

This is sadly the truth, one more won’t hurt.

Morning Ben. 45 is not too late to start in Arb, especially if it is something you have wanted to do since your 20’s and are determined, I have trained lots of people a lot older than you. Stumpgrinding is a tedious job on a permanent basis, the machines take a beating so you would need to have a good knowledge on the tools to keep maintenance costs down. A decent machine will be a large investment too. Many Arb guys have their own machines or use Stumpbusters, so hard to maintain continuous work. Basis NPTC ticket for Chainsaw Maintenance and Cross cutting, two days training and one day assessment would cover you for using the saw on the ground and preparing for the chipper, this could get your foot in the door with local Arb guys,which will give you a taste of the job, allow you to earn some money why you develop an idea of where you want to go with it. If I was determined to go for it I would buy a used transit tipper and a Timberwolf 150, if you can’t make money and get into the job with that, your never going anywhere. You could cut up small trees/clearance/ hedges and gardens, get a climber in as required until you develop a customer base and see which direction the business is taking you. Very little money to invest with a mortgage and family will be the hardest obstacle starting off, good luck.

Creeping around for bats! That would involve climbing then. He would also need a bat license and probably an Ecology degree, this would take years, so not really a good idea for someone wanting to get into Arb now.
