If he didn't work that one out for himself then he's a plonker anyhow

I quote on my business model and setup, I have a standard pricing system which never quotes high or low. I can quote the job then quote it a year later and still come up with very near the original quote, if they dont like the quote and want to go with a cheaper quote then they are welcome. I do not lower my prices to get the job, my setup costs what it costs

I use northern radiators who would do the same, they just put a new core in any radiator

Id have just spiked up it, cut the top off and rode that sucker down like a bucking bronco

Thats why, if you are getting another quote, you should get three, otherwise you cannot compare accurately. If I was having something big done I would get four quotes, and if one was miles away from the others in either direction I'd bin that one, then I'd weed out the Bull talker, because you always get one Then I'd ask the other two for a reference

Right thats it, I'm off to the court of human rights, I'm not having you call my whippet "mangey"

You do

You obviously haven't watched Becki Mantin on ITV yet have you You'll be needing a mac

Just missing the sweat stains under the arms Tommy

I'll stick to my polo shirts thank you Nothing against beaters, I just think they dont look right and they funnel sawdust down to your undies. Wear them on connie jobs do you ??

I've just had one saying she may not go with me as I seem very busy I just said, I would be more worried if I wasn't busy, we are busy because we are good at what we do

I would like this thread removing on the grounds that it is predjudice against northerners It Should be entitled "Milling getogether"

They treat you has if they placed him with you and not you put him into college

Hahaha Welcome to stress city

Just call me Lofty David

Good question Sean.. I would also like to know how to guestimate how many tonnes are in a log pile

Might just do that Ad.. I've been up all night with no sleep coughing and spluttering so no work today, I knew I'd end up with man flu after walking past some div in B&Q spreading his germs all over coughing straight at me. I feel absolutely crap and tiredness and chainsaws dont mix

Hahaha..... At least she didn't try to knock me out Lorry

She can buy her own t cut Bob, she knocked a 1000 miles of rubber off my sidewalls

Day went ok until I went to put the MEWP away and got it stuck, managed to get it out and order 10 tonne of hardcore for tomorrow so wasn't in the best of moods. Travelling home then (infact 200 yards from home at the bottom of the hill) I came round a corner at 30 mph to see a car setting off to pull out of a drive on my left, the car stopped so I kept going. Next second I was almost ontop of the carwhen it lurch forward directly into my path and I was heading full tilt straght towards the drivers door. I knew if I hit the door the driver would be seriously injured, so I yanked my steering to to right as hard as I could nearly putting the landy on two wheels, didn't have time to brake. I then closed my eyes expecting a huge bang and yanked the steering back left again to avoid a tree as I was now over the other side of the road off road. I ended up squeezing between two trees and in a car park after going over a grassed island I stayed calm, got out to see if the driver of the car was ok, it turned out it was an old woman who couldn't apologise enough and had stamped on the throttle rather than the brake. I just said that I'm ok if she is ok. I didn't feel an impact but my tyres had gone down her bumper and just left very bad rubber marks. I just told her to reverse up, go back inside and have a nice cup of tea and try to forget about it. She thanked me for the evasive action I took and said she watched the landrover "dancing" She was very lucky she didn't say hello to husky She asked if I was ok and I just smiled and said, worse things happen to me every day love I am immune from shock

Yes I was there waiting for my mate who had some cut at the same time, or should I say he cheekily pushed in It's hard when your not sure who is who and end up looking daft if whoever you say hello to isn't the person you thought it was I've been to stone before....nice place.. didn't realise it was close

That looks stunning Simon

Just had another look and the core is yellow, looks like I have got an oddball I'll use it for a pulling rope or something

Be good for boilers, just throw the whole bag in. These machines were highlighted a couple of years ago on Arbtalk, I thought they were a good idea then for making money out of brashings but I feel it is a limited market,

I think I will try and make some "soil improver" instead then
