I was doing some woodland maintenance for a sprightly lady who must have been well into her seventies.
She came down to see how i was getting on and said that she'd never seen one of these working before (referring to my chopper). I jokingly asked her if she wanted a go and with a big beaming smile she said "yes please".
I started it up, gave her a few pointers and handed it to her.
Away she went having a grand old time of it on some logs i'd cut down earlier, to the point where i ended up having to prise it away from her.
A breathless thank you and off she strolled. Another satisfied customer.  |

"I have 2 chainsaws. One battery and one electric. Scare me witless, but exhilarating "
That's a bit extreme isn't it? -what were you stuck for a substitute when your rabbit gave up the ghost or something? |

"I think I'd find it therapeutic if I'm honest. Good on her and good on you for giving her the opportunity  "
It's the most dangerous piece of equipment i own but i was careful in my instruction and kept a close eye on her.
I've always believed life's for living not merely existing and who knows if she would have had the opportunity again.
Besides, it'll give her something to enthrall her friends with over a G+T. |

"I have one of those electric chainsaws on an extendable pole. The havoc I can wreak with that is impressive..  "
Does that mean you don't even need to leave the telly to go upstairs then? |

I own a few other dangerous equipment and im sorry to say that I wouldnt have handed that thing over to anyone.
Chainsaws are so unforgiving that when testing someone with them my hands are going to be on that machine.
Sorry if this sounds too pc but one mistake and you loose your job never mind the fine. |

"A neighbour wouldn't loan me his chainsaw before because said I didn't have safety certificate, but for a small fee he could come around and cut the stuff for me."
That's not very neighbourly.  |

"I love my petrol chainsaw; When I’m holding her, I feel ready and confident for any ensuing zombie apocalypse 
Petrol ones are damned heavy. "

I think I’ll try offering my customers the same chances.
‘Have you ever plastered a ceiling before? No...here, I’ll mix you a bucket,,,,,,”. 
I do love women who muck in and not scared to break a nail doing a job normally associated with a men.  |

Apply it liberally and stay the hell away from wax play and you can't go wrong then |

Then you have to stand close behind them, arms reached around to guide them how to hold and use the trowel and handboard. I ended up with a girlfriend doing that, was like that scene in ghost |
