I did it before but it didn't work out.

 

 

 

A few people really helped me after freds accident so I'm just returning the favour.

 

 

Not everyone REALLY wants to change sadly. We've had our fair share of disappointments. But the ones who go on to succeed make it well worth it.

I had lots of help along the way. I agree, it's good to be able to put something back.

I suppose it shows the simplicity of our job and the reason why everyone thinks they can be a tree cutter.:001_smile:

 

Plus if there is something we need in this industry it's more tree cutters:thumbup1:

 

It won't be long before they do this in the UK.

We need to do more to help the younger generation if you can teach them before they get to far into there criminal career they may stand a chance.

 

I took a young lad on exe addict been I band out of young offenders and jail he works hard and seems to have turned the corner.

 

I met a young lad a couple of weeks ago who told me he was cutting for 20 a 25 days solid, then taking a week off. He said he liked working like that because if he stayed in town he, 'got into trouble'. I was impressed and it made me think that if you give some of these youngsters something to get stuck into they've got more about them than you might think.

I use to be in the same situation my farther got a gang of steel erectors to hammer me into shape. Mind you I did wonder what was going on when I got dragged out of bed by my feet at 4am on a Monday morning and taken to Scotland to work.

5 years later i became a ganger and started taking other troubled lads away to work bit of a motley crew but we did put a lot of steel up they use to earn as much in bonuses as wages. They have all gone on to have family's and lead constructive lives. Sadly the ones that helped me have all passed on rare breed of men
