I dunno like.
If you're working for someone then you should direct the punters questions to them.
If you think you can do a better job, then set up on your own, crack on and wait for them to approach you, instead of poaching.
Seems the polite way to do it.
Even if the company is a shitgibbon and the punter is lovely, your contract is with the company, not them.

Wise words There ,K

I have been mugged off before with no job payment so know the score .

Even after the latest subcontractor job done I didn’t receive payment in full due to pathetic excuses like ‘’tools being underpowered and working slow in general ‘’ . 

Back with another more professional firm next week on council trees which will be more enjoyable

If you got all that, then from the sounds of it, you don't need the other guy. Draw a line under it and move on

I didn’t get it either .took fair time over the years to be able to be able to buy all that stuff outright so do find it one of the worst insults .

Personally seem to have a talent of finding tight arse clients .

You’re very defensive about how powerful your tools are - it’s frankly a meaningless and ridiculous thing to get your knickers in a twist over. 
This guy seems to know it flicks your switch and uses it against you (I’d imagine he keeps stating it to get you to try and prove him wrong and do the job quicker/cheaper).
He is definitely smarter than you are - try and learn from this episode.
