I agree there. There isn't much grass to cut in the winter so they can put the grass lads on the tree work to cover the wages.

Had this plenty of times with the old dears. We never take a penny until the job is completed. I always insist on credit card and pin number upfront mind, you never know how much the job is going to be until the end. Its sad to know that unfortunately these people will get turned over sooner or later when they invite the wrong contractor in. I hope that over the years I have managed to educate a few of them into not parting with their hard earned until they are happy with the job, I hope.

Seriously! Why would someone without employee's party for EL? So you think a self employed gardener should have PL, EL and PI? Do you sell insurance?

Good grief! It's like pulling teeth! Looks like I will have to make my simple question more simple, maybe a drawing will help??

The subby is asked to look at and price a job. He does the job when he can schedule it in. He gets paid on whatever terms they have discussed. I'm not talking about a 'subby' who just comes in on a daily basis and gets paid on a day rate, ie they should be an employee.

Let's assume they are a bona fide subby where does everyone stand?

This should be easy to answer. If I use a bona fide subby and send one of my employee's to work under his instructions who is then injured due to the actions/instructions of said subby will my emoyers liability pay out? If NO then that is a major problem. Also is there a possibility that my EL insurance might pay out depending on the level of cover etc. If the answer is YES then that should be something which is clear in the EL document so the subby can easily check. It should not be a grey area as the important thing is the injured employee should be covered no matter what happens to them. Will any of the insurance companies confirm the above please?

As chunkybigbro said make sure you get that cis statement. Cis, nice and easy way for hmrc to get tax as they are forcing someone else responsible for tax collecting. Chasing amazon and google, phaa sounds like hard work.

No you didn't dream it, you've just been watching Lord of the rings. Samwise Gamgee wants his eleven rope back.

This idiot did the same with the MMR jab a good few years ago, the effect was an increase in measels. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield I think that with some vaccines the effectiveness relies on a certain percentage of the population being immunized, if that isn't reached then it's nearly worthless.

At least she is putting them to some good use, probably why they were planted there in the first place.

Im sure Tolkein said something similar in his fictional books. But can you please explain what on earth that means? Also what guilt have you let go of?

Battery powered planes, there you go Ive sorted it. Lets move on, next global conundrum please.

16 tonnes, travel was nearly 50%. Looks like they need to improve aeroplanes, a lot.

Come on, he maybe God but he isnt that clever

Grim reading indeed. As I do love a good ribeye steak, drive a car, own a house and have done a lot of globe trotting and plan to do more I think my only option to help in the fight against global warming is to campaign to bring in battery cow farming. Sorry Mrs cow but wheatbix taste crap without milk and a pork chop just doesnt cut it.

Are you looking to be a tree climber? If so I think you should give that a miss.

Im sure I saw a a cave troll around the 3:30 mark. That looked like the crapiest game of footy i have ever seen.

Airwolf! Loved that tv series. RIP String

He has used one, surely he should know? Did you run a tach on the saw?

Have we gone back in time then or what!? I cant believe cameras where so good back in the noughties..

Although I can see your point, Tbh I've never really thought about it as in those situations (aerial rather than ground work) the bar being trapped isn't a bad thing imo, means you've gone in too far, stops you cutting more of the hinge and stops the limb moving in the wrong direction.

Constructive criticism is stop the sawing of the saw! It does not make the saw cut faster and it will increase the chance of kickback/follow through dramatically. Plus its painful to watch Looks like you did a good job, rigging into the back of the truck is bliss.

A man goes to the circus. It's his first time, and he's pretty nervous about it. During an intermission, one of the clowns approaches the microphone and says "We are giving a special prize to the person sitting in section A, Row 12, seat D." It's the man! He stands up, very nervous, and the clown says "You're a big stupid BOZO! This is a circus! No one wins prizes at the circus!" The man doesn't know what to do, what to say. He's so flustered his face turns beet red and the audience starts laughing and laughing, and it's all he can do just to run out of the big top, ashamed that he fell for it, and that he couldn't think of anything clever to say in retort. That's when he gets the idea to study exactly that. He signs up for a public communications class at the community college. He takes debate, extemporaneous speech, everything on public speaking and wit he can find. The need compels him to study more and more and eventually the man gets a degree in communications, completes a PhD in quick-witted retorts. He starts speaking publicly, becoming a much-sought-after lecturer. Years pass, and his fame grows. Finally, he's ready for his revenge. The man studies the circus. Sure enough, they're still doing that gag. And it's always the rube in the same seat who gets the grilling. He buys a ticket for that seat, and waits. The moment comes. The clown approaches the microphone and says "We are giving a special prize to the person sitting in section A, Row 12, seat D." The man stands up, ready. The clown insults him, the man stands up and says, "FUCK YOU, YOU RED NOSED CUNT!"

He he. Ive been to the US a few times and its quite breathtaking on what they can tuck away, Man V Food (TV program)is a prime example
