  1. I would get a GreenMech of course!
  2. Right Folks, Erm, next wednesday..... Nip along and have a wee gander!
  3. Options? GreenMech:sneaky2: Whatever you decide to buy, money is a cheap commodity at the moment... Interest rates are at an all time low, so now is the time to try and expand any business whilst the costs of doing so are cheap! HP, Lease, Hire/Buy are all good deals at the moment as long as you have no black marks against your name. Good Luck with your choice!
  4. They are loading to go now.....tomorrow is the first day! Get along and have one of Fern's best Bacon sandwiches and see the GreenMech range....
  5. Give Global sales a ring at Kings Heath, ask to hire or demo a CS100 and decide what is best for you.
  6. Shifting weight distribution is the killer on this type of device!
  7. Thought I might get the Ex some for mothers day!
  8. Hasn't Stevie. Blair got one yet?
  9. TBH, that price is what I would expect someone to pay for a QuadChip. Take into the account the extra benefits and it is cheap! I quoted someone a bit more the other day too.
  10. I came round your yard the other week with one but you was out!
  11. Asked an uncle for a holiday job for the summer for beer money, that was 1982. Went to work for GreenMech in 1999. One day, I might look back and say "no wonder I'm skint!"
  12. Just a quick bump. Well worth a visit, even Big Al from Scotland is going so is Martin Lucas from GreenMech.
  13. Depending on your budget, Google and YouTube "iron horse", they used to be marketed under the jonsered name but can be had from somewhere abroad. I found a couple on mascus or agriaffaires. A member, Big Bolt has one in wet Norfolk. Bloody good but dearer than a tracked barrow.
  14. Be-lated Bump...
  15. I was recently with a client in the Ormskirk area and he had a huge domestic cat which had a tail that was longer than a standard BDM. I'm sure that, if you saw this thing walking across a field, it could be mistaken for something else! I think he called it an American Barn Cat.
  16. Plug Ugly little truck tho!
  17. I had a Greek breakfast everyday until the other year. Greek breakfast = 4 Marlboro and two cups of coffee! I packed in the fags September 2010......
  18. QuadChip:sneaky2: Sorry, wouldn't be doing my job otherwise:blushing:
  19. If you get any unwanted text messages about mis-sold policies, insurance or accident claims, delete them, do not answer to anything..... I had a bump in Stoke last September and since not long after, I've been mythered by txt messages advising me that I due a chunk of money etc. Reply "yes" to claim and "stop" if received in error. I replied "stop" because there was nothing wrong with me and I truly detest the "ambulance chase" culture that the nation is sliding into. I have been receiving phone calls from unknown numbers since then, a rate of 4 x daily at times. I eventually bust a gut and have a lovely conversation with one adviser that hates her job, but it pays the bills. She tells me that by replying, I set the ball in motion, the trick is to delete the message and move on....Non of the advisers would give me any contact details so I could complain an many of them could not delete me from the database!
  20. Years ago, an Uncle and his family were tennant farmers at Bronsil Castle in the Malvern Hills, part of the Eastnor Estate. It was a magical place with the ruins of this castle and moat in front of the big house. They grew soft fruit on the farm and when there was a chance of frost, the temperature had to be taken at regular intervals out in the fields. This involved a long walk from the house up the hill to the top of a rise then around the moat bank which was heavily wooded. Along the length of the moat and through some more fields and to a weather station. If it was too cold, then pumps had to be switched on and water sprayed over the crop. There was always a rota to do this an visitors got the short straw to enable the family to get a night off. I did this on several occasions and there had been story's of doors being opened in the night and so on. But, whenever I walked around the moat, it got cold and I could swear that we were being shadowed by a big dog, a Wolf Hound or Great Dane. The farm had Labradors.....At breakfast, one guest refused to do the job as she said that she was sure that a dog had been on the moat bank! Four other people then confessed to having felt that a big dog was with them along the moat bank! One of whom admitted that they take a longer route to avoid the moat bank too.
  21. If it is away across the water then we would Michael Large have his truck collect it next time he would be over. Simplest!
