  1. Definitely a no no, I worked with someone when I first started he was a team leader. He use to smoke it at every opportunity during the day, then he started the mood swings, chucking saws and hedge trimmers out of a hedge reduction. Swearing in front of a customer then preceded to sit in van whilst me and customer finished the work, the customer obviously complained about him and said how helpful I was. Got to work then next day , got my arse kicked by the boss for using a climbing saw as I wasn't qualified then Guess the moral of the story is, don't do drugs Even if I had a slight hangover and wasn't 100% I wouldn't risk work.

  5. Nice job there
  6. I think it might still be stuck up there as it's fell off.
  7. They've all got the flu at the moment so all their noses are red, apart from one in the pack.
  8. There's about 40 reindeers at the moment and I've got enough timber for about 20 sledges.
  9. Its a shame he felt he had to go over your head and not trust in the foreman to begin with. When I was employed and in charge of a team any problems they would come to me even if it was about me, if all else failed after that then they where welcome to go higher up the chain of command . Bad management I would say, what makes it worse IMO is you've put it on here calling him pathetic so that sums you all up for me. Plus employers or potential employer are always lurking in the background.
  10. Cheers guys , here a sledge attempt , going to add wooden presents and some cord for the reindeers. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

  12. It doesn't matter what the retail mark the price up as, the fact is every dealer gets the same discount be it buying one machine or 10. You can't blame the internet dealers for buying ten and making less profit but selling more as they sell cheaper than the people who just buy 2 or 3. Also how have some people got the assumption that dealers have higher overheads than internet sellers is beyond me, all the ones I know have shops/warehouses. You could always flip it the other way around and say dealers are greedy in what profit they want and therefore don't discount as much. They haven't got the vision to move with the times. The list can be endless. Like I said on my previous post it's no ones fault, Stihl have decided this and only they know why. Until a rep comes on here and answers questions then nobody really knows what's going on and then assumes. Well there's my two pence worth, I've said enough. Personally I think the thread has gone from the online policy to blaming the internet dealers. Anyway I'm out of this thread now, night people
  13. Welcome Andrew , your English is probably better than some of the people on here
  14. I heard every stihl dealer has the same discount on the rrp be it a internet person or a local dealer. Surely its better to buy in bulk sell slightly cheaper shift more, more of a risk tho. But local dealers usually buy a few and put them out at full price. Its know ones fault just stihls decision.
  15. Now to find or draw a design for a sledge for the reindeers.
