1. Dont wear a helmet, it may block your vision
2. Think ropes, keep your cuts as close to your rope as possible, it helps keep you alert.
3. Leave plenty of spikey stuff, helps stop it bouncing into the road when it's stuck in the footpath.
4. Colour code your clothes to the background. Tree ninja.
5. Who says you can't do this job sitting down.
6. Wooly hats make good helmets, warmer too.
7. Don't wear a hi viz. Ever, people may think you work for the council.
7. (Again) Proof neither of them finished school.
8. We do fencing too, sir. Good job.
9. Beware of anyone driving a Peugeot.
10. Leave it there and laugh when someone trips over it, then quickly remove magnetic signs, demand money and stop putting flyers in doors in this neighbourhood
11. Create pothole here with tree
12. This is the wrong tree anyway, the job should have been at the next house down, but we can't count (see 7)

I haven’t lost a job to anyone. You know what they say about presumption ???

I'm wondering why you started the thread then? O.o

 

Lost plenty of jobs to proper rogue traders, no one can compete on price with those types and if that's all the customer is after (low price) then there is no chance.

My opinion, jail like every other thieving scumbag,  but since the police dont seem to be able to do anything about thieves there's no chance we can.

Okay unqualified and uninsured trader.

You are aware there is no legal requirement for certification and insurance right? As long as one is registered for tax in this sector technically one is a bone-fide trader. In UK Employer Liability is required, not in Ireland. Just saying.
