Cool, is that a giant cherry picker or some sort of automated thing? They look a bit like poplars to me but I’m sure Mat will correct me.

A big cherry picker.
Wow, almost makes it sound like I know for sure what the proper definition of a cherry picker is.
A big thing they put people in to reach tall stuff?
If so, yep, it is 🙂
No automation involved, it is the same sort of thing they use to change the advert boards you can see in the background. Saw a good one last week, two people lifted up, one hopped off and just sat on the top of the board, on the far right, fiddling with canvas. No harness/safety ropes, just dangling his feet over the edge.

Yes you are right. Lol, gotta love the lack of OH&S. I guess it has it’s advantages and disadvantages.
I was right, I showwed Mat last night and he agreed they were Poplars – my tree identification is getting better 🙂
