I would be interested to hear your Insurance policy recommendations ? It seems the market is shrinking in this respect ? what do you think and who do you use ? Also, how many millions of cover is adequate, in your opinion ?

Peter your talents are wasted here,friend ! the old bailey awaits.....

Agree with you all, I have a former girlfriend who is an HSE safety enforcement officer !(you can imagine how much fun she was !!!) Remember, suicide is illegal too, so woe betide anyone who tries that trick !

Skyhuck makes a great example here ! Do a friend a favour and your at liberty to perform work in your missus lingerie without fear of the long arm of the law !!! so to speak !

outrageous ! What about all those nurses ????

Im yet to hear about the law about wearing PPE ? If your employed, employment laws require you to wear PPE. If you dont, the police aint gonna arrest you ! I think PPE is entirely down to the user, by nature that were supposed to live in a 'free country' ! I hate when people start ranting about someone else not wearing PPE ! We all know what the risks are if you dont wear it ! We should all take the required measures to prevent accidents. You live and you die, some stuff happens in-between !

saving loads a money isnt something you associate with Mercedes benz full stop ! Might save the amount you have to give to the taxman though !

Red diesel is not a straightforward issue....first you must make sure you register it as an Agri mac ( free tax !) then your on limited road miles...blah blah blah....if you worry about legislation in this country you'll never get any work done ! it saves me £4000 a year in fuel ! I do lots of agri work so it suits me....depends on your circumstances but I never met anyone who's regretted buying one ! Best thing Mercedes ever made !

That truck is the guv'nor mate ! Signwriting is tops too ! bet that gets the phone ringing...its great when theyt start with " I saw your truck....." :wave:

Well, I got a little U900, so it'll go most places ! I dont do much domestic stuff really. I Got a little Mitsubishi Canter tipper for that, its a good un too ! Your main benefits with Mog are PTO's, pulling ability and lack of restrictions !

You know its crap when they start with " hello sir...how are you today "....I answer with "get a proper job mate "

Get a Unimog and you'll wonder how you ever managed without it ! Mine has got me enough work to pay for itself witin 6 months, it pulls like #@*k and .........its a joy to drive, cheap to run (ish) and helps justify higher prices !....well,thats my excuse !

It was a off the cuff buy which I'm prone to ! I used it a few times but not enough to warrant the expense ! This guy saw it and made me an offer I could'nt rufuse ! I find that signwriting things has a duel benefit - security and people ringing you to offer silly buy it now prices ! How much....I find it vulgar to talk money !!!

She's very obidient, if she sees a squirrel or something there's no stopping her though ! Dogs have stronger characters and are harder to control. They're very intelligent and absouloutly fearless.

Yeh I tried one of those ! good fun ! I recommend (as a qualified personal trainer) regularly climbing trees for all round general strength inc. the hands ! Thats why I started doing the job !

They rang me the other day, i :thumbsdown:laughed at them...what a lame way at trying to extract money from people ! A fool is easily parted from his money !

Shes 3 and a half ! puppy time !

You got to make money guys ! The fact that you enjoy the work is great but Unimogs, tipper lorries, fuel, yards,insurance etc costs fortunes !When all your stuff is f*$#ed where will the money come from to replace it ? Id rather turn it in than sell myself short !

I set it at that because its at the lower end of what all the firms here are charging ! Cambridge/Newmarket area !

I charge £850 + VAT for 2 men and kit per day

I sold to to a guy in Dorset !

This is Molli, the border terrier ! These seem to be the official tree surgeons dog ! Right size to take to work and good temperament, love catching Fox's, rabbit, rats and squirrels ! She will be having pups May time this year......Steve gets first pick on here though, they're best mates !

I think you need a licence for that ! And dont run it on red, either !

Oh thats where it ended up eh ?

Ive worked in the industry for a few years now and weed smokin' is rife, I'm sure you'll all agree ? I threw one guy off a job a couple of years ago for puffing at breakfast time ! Compulsory testing would cripple the industry I think ! Too many car drivers are stoned as it is - thats the place to test people - on the roads ! Im a pro' sporstman and we get testsed randomly, a few people fail each year, mainly for coke - weed stays in your system for about 30 days remember !!

Yeh, I'll give it 6 months and steve will be lending money to bill gates and rarely leaving his mansion.....
