what would you pay?

[Frankie Lawrence]

I want to but from my understanding you have to be 17 and I already have a full time job in agricultural engineering, although that's not a excuse for no tickets!

 

Think i was 16 When I did mine.

£25 a day wouldn't cover your fuel wear and tear of saw and lunch lol. Being that u do a gd job start looking at 100

[Dan Earp]

[the hedge man]

well he is sort of a family friend

 

he is taking the Micheal plain and simple. your young and your going to learn that there are alot of people in the world that would be happy you doing skilled work for free.

 

Can't stand expoitation of the young and niave, my old gaffa was a right pain in the arse, I got minimum wage for a skilled job that he couldn't be bothered to do himself, what anniyed me as well is that he used to send me out to large site work by myself. there are always going to be these kind of guys around, suss them out then avoid them!

[djbobbins]

£25 a day including using your own gear? (And presumably the fuel and everything else too?) That's taking the urine.

 

Nearly 20 years ago I was 16 years old and getting £2 an hour for casual labour working on a sheep farm and I didn't have to find any equipment out of that. And there was a local guy I did some work for who was paying £5 an hour cash for gardening work.

 

The guy obviously wants to make some money out of the logs but you need to cover your costs and not be taken for a mug.
