Tree monkey 1682

Think also the council will take the view the tree was there before the house. You can see trees that have been damaged by "builders" driving plant. Tree dies off the side that compaction/ groundwork have taken place on... Always makes me wonder why people buy houses next to established trees, then try and stick carports underneath!

I'd not go that far yet...... 😂 How ever, the other day I turned upto a job where the was numerous palms, cordlines, trachs! And guess what, the was about 10 of them growing with bamboo, vines and some specimen trees.... It's a small garden. Great! *forgot the other thing with these plants you have to quote a bar and a chain or two.. Because of the grit within the tree.... So they are a pain!

Seens, their a bugger to raise the canopy on, horrible to fell or dismantle and even worse to grub out by hand... They are a nightmare... I live in a coastal area where part time gardeners plant them... Leave them and forget them.. They are a pain.. Then don't forget that they can't be chipped, 90%water based and £100 a ton to get rid of green waste... I can say unless there in a botanical garden, or you've access for a digger to remove them, they are an absolute hunt of a plant... They're on par with, knot weed, himilayan balsam, ragwort, bamboo and rhododendron... That delightful victorians brought back.

Cut them down 5"from.the ground and get on with it!

Not worth the hassle, they are also expensive to be disposed of, they will lift walls/slabs, unless kept in a pot they aren't worth it

County Council are gods really bud, we've had them dictate, work only at night, only in winter and restrictions on times to avoid peak traffic!

Get traffic management in, then it's all there hassle, should if and when it goes wrong. If you do the streetworks ticket, you can either be a supervisor, or an operative - but not both.... Also a second set of insurance as arb insurance won't cover setting up traffic management, ud need a hole different company set up to do solely the tm,. For the sake of amberon charging £500 a day ud be better of using them. If u met all the criteria crap, you'd still naff up on the traffic management plan..... Only county council approved contractors can do it, even though it looks like a 12 year old has doodles a load of road signs on an os map!

Gawd knows bud, just remember them in the Royal agricultural show at Stoneleigh Warwickshire,... But they're not far away from where you're based, How about upm tilhill and fountain forestry? They might not be still going, also I'm showing my age😂

What about chantler timber?

Have you looked at woodlots? Online, it sells all many of stuff from small producers

Get a better close up of the leaves, are you referring to the yellowing of the leaves?

Your missing the obvious about UK people, that the are a certain group of people who think they're to good to do manual jobs... Their still hoping to have a degree job and the arogancy that goes with it.. Yet being a plant driver you earn more than a uni bod!

Not being funny, but what does Wales really produce? It's got no industry... And relies on eu grants, if your going to comment about brexit and leaving the EU, you have to cover everything as this is politics can't cherry pick certain topics it's all of it, If we were going to fanny around with the EU, then we should have had a democratic vote about it... Not going in the back door and buggering it up again. It's democracy, just some people didn't like the fact of the process, wrongly or rightly.

Is this general grade chip? Ie gone through any type of chipper as volume reduction? Or has it gone through biomass chippers so it's the perfect chip? If its average chip then it will be £21 ton if its graded clean chip ie g 70 or something like that and has gone through biomass then from 10 year ago it was closer to 100 a ton, but that was few years ago and south Dorset price, quite far from Didcot

Still able to get them?

Still got them?

Still got the 365?

Didn't mention newlyn I was comparing and saying where I pulled into Norway the second biggest port/processing area was something smaller than thought considering Norway is so into its fish, and the whole thing about it being out of the EU with a good deal, yet we had a good fishing fleet and we've been fkd over again.

Rover cars went tits up due to people getting greedy and wanting more money for relatively unskilled work, plus also the money they were on was good money in the mid 90s, just silly enough to follow a trade union. Type two, poor food or poor food choices is poverty, but u can be poor but still eat well, but u can't fix poor lifestyle choices.... Thes always hope, maybe it's my mind set.. And yes it was 2003, I lived on my own and the was zero work around, wether it was arboriculture, landscaping, amenity horticulture, site work or anything to do with equestrian work... So i had to cycle or run to work, live off a £5er a week for food... Until I got paid... It was hard because if you were lone parent, single mom, the was help, single male and u miss out on everything. And the were no food banks then, no luxuries like make up, mobile phones, hair dye, painted nails (not that I'm into that) but an example of skewed priorities. Also the sky TV thing was a local vicar was telling me about his conversation with adult social services when running a food bank!!!!!

I did a cruise of the Norwegian fjords, a native on the tour said the port we pulled into said "this is norways second biggest fish processing port" it's was tiny not that impressive in the way of ports or fish processing plants bearing in mind norways out of the EU and has heavy involvement in fishing... But il ask the other half when she gets in, because although I visited the place I can't remember where it was.... Bar the was an echo dealership there!

Humour me, then, so what did the Indians bring with them, the Italians and then the americans? The gumph regarding kraft... Hate to say it but the EU gave them a grant before with left the EU, that was before kraft took them over.... way before, but if you valued the product and workforce why don't u build a factory on the outskirts of bham? You have the product and the workforce....... As goes for rubbish food, no one makes you eat "rubbish food" nothing wrong with any food as long as u burn it off and eat it moderation. If your loosely trying to make a link between poverty, fast food obesity and type 2 diabetes.... That's lame.. People in this country dont know what poverty is. It's skewed proities and dire lifestyle choices. Since when is sky TV classed as a necessity? That's the difference, coming from someone who's done bread and jam diet, knocked on people's doors in stoke to make a bit more cash... And has had to walk or run 7 miles each way to work.... Then do a manual job until work picked up....

Oh I don't know about the bigger block thing, I mean Norway has its deal with eu and seems to do quite well out of it, even if norways 2nd biggest fishing port looked small compared to Brixham.. Tiny to be honest.... Regarding the EU I can't helping thinking, we've lost massey furgeson out of Coventry, Ford tractors, but can't remember why they moved abroad as I was a child then. But I did see cadburys moving abroad with a grant from the EU, bang that's numerous people out of work, thinking of the other factories that were given grants before brexit to move abroad... Then thes the legal crap from the EU as well🙄 As goes for food, again ever immigrant brought their own dish over here, and it's not for government to police, how ever unless u have a medical condition, you should not be over weight. What I do think should of happend is we don't have aspartame in every drink, sugar would have been better rather than us healthy people paying the price for fatties!. Think in sweden coca cola has no phosphoric acid in, and yes it did taste better for it!

My point being that the are a certain group of people that do not want the UK to be good, ok look at the amount junkies we have in this country that never contribute or never have and yet they drain money out of the government.. Make people earn their benefits, so when work does come up they can do it and they are contributing. But how ever you look at it, the UK can't go on like it is... Wether that's the fault of the EU with our industries moving abroad or crappy attitudes thinking "we're to good for that job" can't go on... Thing like the NHS is broke, we give so much money abroad, yet our own house isnt in order, we have this stupid net zero policy that's not helping anything, yet China India and America pollute more than us. Yes it can be turned around but the needs to be a serious shift in attitude.

Thank you for mildy clarifying some things, I still feel that the freedom of movement isn't great at this time, I mean being serious look at the terrorist issues that German has had recently... Surely an open border policy hasn't helped that? Things need to change radically in this country (UK) and it will only happen if someone from outside does it, nothing will happen with Labour conservatives, Green or lib dem... Me I'd love the challenge of turning the country around, but the people who voted Labour, the anti vaxers, the people who want to stay in Europe, people on benefits who could work, the people claiming asylum, pride and I'm sure I've missed other people off wouldn't like me 😂. I'd also say yes Scotland and Wales by all means you can have your country back but no funding from Westminster.. I could go on... I mean thes enough people in our country of working age that don't want to work, so we wouldn't need people from the EU. I don't mind people coming here as long as you fit in, pay tax and integrate... But I can't stand double standards, hypocrisy, wokeness

OK, so why is he crapping on or moaning on a UK forum then? About UK political scene, surely if Europe's so great why are they behaving like they need the UK? and thank you for the correction
