I've always wanted a Morgan, but the more I have earned, the more my outgoings have risen, so I'm no nearer today than when I was 17. Maybe one day:001_smile:

Very sensible, IMO. Do as you would be done by. She would gain greatly, were as you would be jeopardising an important client relationship. Loyalty is getting less and less common, unfortunately, good for you:thumbup1:

Excellent!!!!

It isn't, but the longer people keep thinking that way the harder it is to achieve and only a few will achieve it. I priced the removal of 2 medium-sized spruce, I said £300+VAT. The customer was delighted, it was much lower than he anticipated and wanted to know how soon I could do it. But he had another chap coming to quote in the morning, so it was only fair he let him quote. Other guy quoted £180:001_rolleyes: So many put so little value on their time and skill:thumbdown: -
It depends wether you "live to work or work to live". I have a wife and 4 chidden, I'm far more interested in giving them a good standard of life than I am with having nice new kit. My business is a means to an end, not an end in itself.

Its a shame husqy haven't recall their pile of excrement 540XP. The rear spring mount on mine snapped (for the second time) the saw body separated, so I tried to tap it back together, so I could finish what I was doing, this resulted in the top of the plug punching a hole in the fuel tank, this then set the saw on fire!! Fortunately I managed to blow the fire out, but as I was 40ft up a tree at the time it could have been nasty:thumbdown:

:lol:

Good sized Elm.
-
Damson?? although I think they generally have thorns?
-
There was a fair bit of free fall to start with, once the lowering rope came out I kinda lost interest, watch 3/4 of it, which is pretty good for me
-
Good vid, but that saw would drive me potty, just get 201 or 540 up there and get through the wood!!
-
It used to pay much better than it does now, but there are far more people at it now.
-
I don't understand how a business owner would not have receipts for all their gear, you need them to claim against your tax. Also my dealer has a recored of all the saws etc bought on my account and will provide serial numbers for me if I ask.

Not sure thats a merc original, can the cab move independently to the silencer box??

Its probably just taken untill now for if to dry out completely and the bacteria to die off, lets hope the smell does not return in the damp of the winter. Years ago we had a problem with rats, I trapped many and then put down poison, one must have died under the upstairs floor, the smell was appalling for about three week, I presume this is how long it took for the body to dry out and mummify.

I think this is true. A mate of mine is a fencing contractor, he hit a gas main while pulling out old steel posts. He did not have a map of the services, his insurance Co walked away
-
Personally, I don't believe the story as told.
-
Where did I suggest dividends were tax free???:confused1:
-
I think he mean you take under your tax code as salary and the rest of your income as a dividend, this what I do, as I run a limited Co.

How can they live on £8k
-
Yes I think the £38K I heard was average household income, not wage, but in my house they are the same thing, hence my error.
-
But its better than digging a ditch.
-
Indeed and some must be earning little more than the lads they employ
-
It was £25k 25 years ago, has it really only gone up by £1K:001_huh:
