Tip Of The Day

Recommended Posts

Keep your eye on the tall, dead, hung up ash stem on the woodland edge, that you've just speared out when the lights are on all red, and when it comes straight for you.............................side step at the very last minute so it misses you by a foot. Here's the tip - keep your visor down so the groundies can't see how pale you've turned, shrug your shoulders and carry on!

Lucky day today!

If you're going to pull hawthorns from your elbow, clean the wound or four days later you may well be in A&E in excruciating pain at four in the morning and have to take at least a week off with an arm the size of spain...

For clearing up mountains of small leylandii trimings after hedge reductions I always take my honda rotary mower. Works better than a blower, not tiring to use, chops all the bits up into the grass box then dump in rubble bags, even picks up all the nasty little bits welded to the grass... get the height right and it even works a treat on concrete+tarmac.

Customers can't believe how tidy it is and it saves my aging back too. :001_smile:

My tip is get your crew to agree to all having the same tea/coffee/milk/sugar combination.

 

Anyone who works for me has to have tea strong milk no sugar so they fit in with the rest of us.

 

Reason: if you give a complicated drinks order to a client, "one tea 2 coffees one of them white not much milk in the tea two sugars in one coffee one sugar in the tea but none in the coffee with no milk" then they won't ask you again!

 

"Three teas milk no sugar in all" is simple and they'll enjoy making it and offer you more every half hour!

 

Also sack anyone who declines an offer for tea on the basis that you just had one out of your flask, you won't get asked again.
