makes me sick that our boys are dying for cheap oil..i wish Bush and Blair a slow lingering death....i also feel for the iraqi familys who have lost women and children ...what i cant understand is why are the general public here and in the States are so narrow minded, i wish they would take a look at whats going on from the other side of the fence....how many iraqi civilians killed now somewhere between 10,000-100,000 ..makes me

by the way when i mean cheap oil i mean cheap oil for the yanks..oh no there paying $2 a gallon...sick FEEKING JOKE IMO

Bonfire Night

How many of you company owners have helped the local bonfires by giving them all your cuttings,I did years ago when i was working for a small firm.
Every job we had near to 5th November we used to take the brash & logs to the local bonfires to save us having to pay waste transfer fees.

 

[iain]

never bothered myself but i know its very difficult to get away with now adays, too many do gooders around since the regs have been tightened on green waste
+ the local councils bods have eye sight like a ???? house rats
funny that they never seem to see the pikeys when they dump it the rest of the year

 

[Ross Turner]

thats true,Where abouts in the north east are you from Iain?.

Agree on the stolen gear, rolla. I've been looking for a chipper recently, and been offered a knocked off one. I'd have saved about 5k, but didn't fancy lining the pockets of scum like that. It's a shame more people don't look at it that way. [/B]

Tuesday, daylight hours, just had our towable TP 760 stolen from Wiltshire. Landrover Green colour not standard Red, apparently 4 guys seen with a Landrover, 3 years old, photo to follow, reward for information leading to etc... Apreciate the usual unlikeyness of anything being spotted but you never know. As it is probably the only 760 in these colours there's always a chance.

Thanks

The Boro

Iain,When you say near the Boro,Where are you on about?.When Cleveland County Council was going the firm i worked for carried out work for them.

 

[ROLLACOSTA]

any of you boys using tracked chippers ,been thinking about getting a tracked jensen ..can be fitted with winches ,log-spliters,tow bar etc ..it can tow a 2 ton trailer so the salesman told me...ps a firm around here has bought 2 new tracked platforms like the ones on show at the apf

 

[Ross Turner]

Rolla,I have used both the Timberwolf & Greenmech tracked chippers,they both have their own merits,ie the timberwolf will fit through a standard gateway & the greenmech has adjustable legs for working on slopes.
As for the tracked platform have used one aswell,Nice bits of kit.The only problem with them is that you have to lower it down before you move them along.
If you can go for it they are the dogs

 

[ROLLACOSTA]

hi ya ross

i live in the redcar & cleveland council borough area who we also work for
