Always time for a cuppa Hodge.

 

 

I agree at say 10am brew time but I've hear of lads having brew in arrival which lasts half an hour, then a bit of work and then brew time. I like to get on site and crack on then brew at 10, where I have brought coffee with me.

I like the customers who offer and ask how do I take it, just to say with bacon and brown sauce please. Managed to get a few butties from doing that

When they ask how things are going just say very dry, then tell them that the last job you did that was this dry was in the Sahara.You will either get a brew or a slap.

Couldn't agree more. nothing more unprofessional than turning up and spending the 1st half hour drinking tea.

Me- I rarely work in an urban environment so always take a thermos with me. stop at 11ish for a quick break and then 2ish for a bit longer.

If I was working a day rate- I would hate to think the customer thought as me being lazy and sitting round drinking tea all day so I don't take the p*ss in that respect. I'd prefer they called upon my services another day because they thought we were hard workers.

:thumbup:I ask for coffee it's normally instant but jaysus those golden days when you get fresh coffee:thumbup:

 

I usually go for tea as bad tea's usually marginally better than bad coffee, but sometimes I'll take a gamble and usually it pays off with a fresh coffee :thumbup1:

 

Been caught out a time or two though where they've had a jar of instant for the hired help :thumbdown:

 

Been on a job recently where we'd been there 3 or 4 days altogether - didn't get offered a cup of tea until about half an hour before we left on the last day.
