    I had 'me' a damn good subbie, and a sometimes mummy's boy, that day the mummy 's boy for once pulled his finger out , might have been the promise of a £50 bonus................

    Day Rate

    Not bad , but i've doubled that on a road side job with 3 men..... At the end of the month we still only broke even lol
  9. In the coming months/years you'll be able to get good blokes at 2 for a £1 in a figure of speech, and they'll be pleased of the money............. Mummy's boys, clueless wonders will have to eat bread and pull it lol
  10. The truth is a lot of blokes aren't worth £20 a day! damn pleased I don't employ anyone these days, most of my employees spent more time standing around watching me work , with a big gormless look on there face and there hands in their pockets. I've seen the same thing with other firms as well, it wouldn't make a jot of difference regarding productivity if they were paid 1.50 a day or 150, roll on the recession............ Sorry to go off topic..
  11. My boy boxes, hes 14 and reckons he could take De La Hoya if he was an adult..... nothing like self belief lol
  12. looks like we are in for a bit of fun chaps , yep lets hope for a crisp winters morning!
  13. We have about 12 of us so far chaps, I suggest we meet.. Main Gate 10.45 am 13/12/08 ''anymore who wan't to join us are more than welcome just turn up at the above meeting place and at the time posted''
  14. I'll put your name down for you Log.....
  15. Well mate all I can say is this ''a greedy man is easy ripped'' [old conmans saying] anyone who thinks he can get two 395's for £400 is a mug or he thinks hes buying knock-off, I have no sympathy... Just like those folk who think they're getting a bargain 42'' plasma HD tv for £100 only to find its a con, tough lucks all I have to say
  16. Attention to detail mate, please! Showmen pay the local council a very large sum of money a bond to set up a fair, the Showmen rely on this council/showmen mutual co-operation, ie they want repeat business, Showmen rarely leave tyre marks let alone rubbish and mess, if they left so much mess we wouldn't have the same Showmen/Fairground turn up to the same place year in year out, some fairs such as the Goose fair have been going for decades.. Sorry to sound like i'm having a rant but, if I were a Showmen i'd hate to be tarred with leaving rubbish and of being theives.. The Showmens Guild http://www.showmensguild.com/
  17. Yes mate we know the company
  18. though there are soil vacs on the market that are used in conjunction with soil-picks/air-spades, about 35k for the basic model
  19. no such thing on the market, if there was i'd own one.

  21. You should never ever, confuse Gypsies with fairground people [who prefer to be called Showmen] I have never ever heard of a showman implicated for any kind of offence,let alone theft, and I know a fair few showmen............. And the for the record Showmen do huge amounts for charity, do a google and take a look.........
  22. you asked for it [ame] [/ame]
  23. Hey Pat , many years ago you was on a refresher course at Ickworth park with Wally Smith, I was there too..

     

    Last time I saw you it was at Chelmsford Sainsburys, sorry to read about your chipper mate, nice to see you at Arbtalk..

  24. I've added a bottle of Champagne lads, I know you lot , with your posh tastes, and playboy lifestyles lol
  25. I've seen plenty of chippers on my travels, painted all kinds of silly colours and missing ID plates, from the little I know, most stolen chippers are sold to legit tree firms! who know full well what they are buying! you'd be surprised how dis-reputable the reputable become when offered a stolen chipper worth 15k for 2k
