The first few bosses i had were really quite aggresive characters and almost put me off arboriculture for good...one of them used to argue so much with his son they would have loud shouting fits in customers gardens!! he walked onto a swimming pool cover carrying his work notepad..years of notes on customers gone in seconds..

For all the moans I have about my old boss, he never endangered me.

 

He did bore the tits off me repeating the same old stories ending with an explanation about how he was right and everyone else was wrong, A tradition I try to continue with the lucky sorts who work with me.

 

Strangely they seem to make every effort to avoid travelling to the job with me and  squeeze in the chip truck together no matter how much I assure them of how much they’ll learn listening to me talking about myself.

Wow Dempsey - that's two things we have in common now ;) k
