Pushy buggers as well, they come back a couple of weeks after the first visit saying they're back in the area and can do it cheaper.

I'll laugh if they come to my door
Yeah mate you got a business card?

Told the wife if they do, get their card but dont let them quote anything, just as likely to come and do the job without asking and cut down my favourite tree just coz they were "in the area"

ekka, did you say there was any sort of law to prevent this, other than if the tree would need permits.
