Brits talkin about Brit stuff

[Thor's Hammer]

Whats your bosses name? care to divulge? The Father did safety audids on loads of contractors in that area, I remember some horror stories...

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Is your boss into the great outdoors, mountain rescue type of thing? also a retained firefighter?

 

[Ross Turner]

he is into mountain biking,His name is Kier Dady used to work for Mudway as a sub contractor under the name AA Forestrees & also for Dave Cound of Aerial.He works on behalf of West Coast Energy Networks on the Central network contract.
By the way how is your Dad,as i said he tested me for units AE2a,2b & AE5.

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Ha haha... it all comes back to me now. Trust me, if he's working for westcoast he'll be on a good screw.
Dad's fine, he had a little stroke recently that lost him his licence, so he has to have a driver now. Hes knocked the NPTC lark on the head though, said the whole thing had got out of hand. He's still chief consultant to the DTi/Defra/Doe whatever its new name is...

 

[Ross Turner]

Where you on about Ellis how lives in shrewsbury,he is an outdoor type who likes Carp fishing & also is a trained fire fighter?.

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Yeah, I know ellis too. I think he looked at buying a truck off me a few years ago. Then his climber Stuart Fill (calls himself the branch manager) set up on his own and bought the truck and chipper off me...

 

[Ross Turner]

It wouldn't bother me if i was the user of the peice of kit,but if staff were useing it then it would have to have CE mark ,just for my peice of mind and insurance purposes..Arb industry understanding of CE marks err don't really have too much of a clue other than i think everything 'SHOULD' have a CE mark.

Well done Ross

I haven't been around lately because i have been in Ireland for a few days ,looks to me like the Irish have done very nicely out of being EU members ..new Mercs, VW passats ,Landcruisers ,merc and Bmw 4x4s everywhere AND I MEAN EVERYWHERE!..as for houses looks to me like everyone in Donegal at least owns a four bed bungalow set in half an acre...looks a bit tight for tree work though ,nearly every tree i saw could be got at with a cherry picker and there are lots of cherry pickers out there for hire..I also noted that nearly everyman owned a digger 3.5 ton and up.. most imo had the knicked look about them ie lots were painted in strange colors....
