   Been "cleaning" the pine trees at the back of us this week.
About 8 guys working there cutting, sorting, shredding and carting.
The 2 guys doing the cutting are often 30ft up in the trees with no harness, no helmet and not even a high viz jacket, not that that would do them much good. 
They also use a Cherry Picker which they operate with one hand, hold a running chainsaw in the other hand and have a fag in their mouths, all at the same time.
Water is frequently consumed with more than the odd beer chucked in for good measure.
The cuttings are strewn all over the road turning it into one lane rather than the normal two lanes but there are no warning signs and no cones.
Fascinating.

	I hate how peopleï compare Frank Zappa to God. I mean, he's cool and great and nice and everything, but he's no Zappa.

	You try putting a ladder on a pavement to paint the outside of your house/business without cones and safety tape though and see how quick the OB turn up and fine you...
