  1. Thats unfair:thumbdown: If you are going just to do that job there must be a minimum charge, as it will take a slice of your day and cost you real money. If your already there and your costs are covered by the job you'r there to do, a freebie will cost you little too nothing.
  2. You are posting as though the whole thread is about the "lemon water" situation, the thing is TY is using that to justify the extra charges on a paying job. So maybe he is being fair or maybe he is TTP, I don't know which
  3. I think you have missed the fact that this is clearly a marketing ploy:sneaky2: Or am I just too cynical???
  4. Personally I think all students should be given two weeks floating holiday (taken from the existing holiday) then all families (teacher would also have the floating weeks) could chose when they went away and this would break the holiday Co cartel.
  5. No, the fine is for "unauthorised absence" the head can "authorise" the absence in which case there would be no penalty.
  6. Once had a lad who had a phobia of Birds, a single feather would totally freak him out.
  7. I often do small extras for free, in reality they cost me very little, but the goodwill they can generate is priceless IMO.
  8. Employers struggle to pay more because are competing with people topping conifers for a coupe of hundred a day.
  9. THIS!!!! I used to drop everything and rush off for call out, not any more, I've turned down 4 in the last 4 weeks, my family life is worth far more that any call out fee, IMO
  10. Oh stop it, your just being mean now :crying:
  11. How many threads do we need to endure before there is at least a price???
  12. True, but if you get a name locally as a subbie, the other Co's will know your not on the books, I think a small consideration (the £100 mentioned) and a credit on the vid would be fair , IMO.
  13. Yes, because other tree firms never look at their competitors sites
  14. :thumbup1:
  15. Word!!!
  16. Toilet paper???????
  17. Business is business, makes no difference who is signing the cheque.
  18. I have no interest in having pictures on my oil tubs, but the fact that some feel so strongly about it that rather than simply buying from a different supplier they go to great lengths to put a stop to it, is sad in the extreme:thumbdown: Why don't they put their efforts into addressing some of the REAL problems that cause REAL suffering.
  19. Cutting smaller increases volume.
  20. Ain't that the truth, utterly pathetic!!!
  21. Thats a very generous offer, good for you Big J
  22. Indeed.
  23. Will the chip box not make loading the trailer difficult and limit the weight you can lift onto the trailer?? If it were me I'd be moving the crane to the rear.
  24. Stay out of the black and in the red, nothing in this game for two in a bed.
