  1. I give a price for the finished job, be very clear about what that will be and manage the clients expectations, I.E. "We will remove the tree to near ground level, removing all arising, leaving the site clean and tidy. There will some marks on the lawn, but not major damage, there will be no damage to walls, fences, etc" If upon completion they question the price I ask which part of the job has not been completed.
  2. Yes thats right they made him into a greedy, immoral scumbag
  3. If only this were true............as we would never bend a bar in the first place:001_rolleyes:
  4. Most mog's are registered as Agricultural "machines" rather than tractors. You are correct regarding the two tractor speeds. Before I bought my first mog (about 17 years ago) I rang the police and asked to speak to a traffic officer with good knowledge of Mway traffic law. A Sargent Forrest (yes I thought it was very fitting too ) rang me back. I asked him if an agg registered mog could go on the motorway, he looked in his books and told me that in order to go on the Mway the vehicle had to be over 50cc, be capable of doing more than 25mph on the flat under its own steam and be road worthy, i.e. comply with all the legal requirements for a road vehicles. I have done tens of thousands of miles on the Mway in I'm mogs and have been pulled while on the Mway twice, on one of those occasions I was prosecuted for being over weight, nothing was said about me being on the Mway in a mog.
  5. Do you have a reference for the legislation that states this?
  6. WOW!! I'm shocked!! Why you selling, I thought you loved her??
  7. Ouch!! No boots???
  8. Walter White😳
  9. So true, some councils really do try and extract the urine. A customer told me yesterday that her council and put "conditions" on the "approval" of her notice, she was told she had to plant a Walnut, I told he if they had not TPO'd the tree they had no such power, utter clowns!!!
  10. Do they have TPO's in Norway?
  11. My understanding has aways been that 7500kg and anything thats towing is 10mph under the limit on all road over 30mph limit and more, plus not allowed in the third or more lane on the Mway.
  12. Yawn
  13. Unfortunately they have a great engine but the rest of the saw is utter garbage, mine separated in half and set on fire (50ft up a tree) they really are a disgrace IMHO. 201 all the way IMO.
  14. No you don't Stefan, no one can MAKE you do their job, YOU decide if you want to work for each client that contacts you, no one else and YOU can decide the terms on which you will carry out the task.
  15. If you get there early, can by the one off the stand and collect at the end of the show you get a good deal, IME.

  17. Yuck!!!
  18. If this is serious and not intended as a joke, why do you stay married??
  19. Work is easy, relationships and family life are difficult. Its better to devote your efforts in life to the difficult things, the easy things look after themselves, IME.
  20. A GOOD habit, IMO
  21. Personally I think honesty in a relationship is important, if you think you are right you should say so. I'm always honest with my wife, she does not always thank me for my honesty, but 4 children and 26 years later we are still together.
  22. Why do you you work? I work to provide the money required to enjoy my life with my family. If you needed to work to pay for the essentials, food, shelter, etc, fair enough, but if you worked just because the work was there and you wanted extra cash IMO you have got your priorities all wrong and need to decide if you really are a family man or not.
  23. A great deal depends on your personal circumstances. If you've been around for a while and have some "wool on your back", no dependents, maybe a partner with a good job, you can drive a much harder bargain than a young guy, with a young family who is the sole breadwinner. IMO.
  24. Why decides and on what criteria???
