Over 640 years of Experience….!
Is it just me or does this sound a stupid comment to make? How do you arrive at having 640 years experience…? Do you just employ (or franchise) a number of people then look at how old they are and multiply that to get experience…?
My Dad is 78 so does that mean if I employ him I get 78 years experience ….NO…my Dad knows nothing about invasive weeds - and he still thinks Himalayan balsam is Japanese Knotweed no matter how many times I’ve told him …so he didn’t get the job.
Yes…. im having a rant again at franchised companies..the 640 years experience is used in a ‘report’ used to try and give the impression of knowledge. Its amazing what can be achieved with a bit of cut and paste, a bit of Google….and some coloured markers
Unfortunately even with 640 years of experience the company in question has been working on a site in Scotland where trees and shrubs have been sprayed with Tordon - immediately adjacent to a watercourse. For those of you who don’t know the technicalities of chemical usage - that’s a BIG - NO NO - that’s a residual herbicide being used illegally. It would appear from the information available that it was simply a mistake.
Unfortunately the idea of chemical competence is that you don’t confuse the chemicals….
The trees were dead.
The shrubs were dead.
The Japanese Knotweed was still very much alive ….duuuh
Perhaps the sprayer operative was actually 640 years old - blind and stupid??
