  1. You should always walk with traffic, or is that against traffic, no its with traffic i think. Best to ask Wigam [ame] [/ame]
  2. No and I bet it's never happened, within reason. It can be uncomfortable as already mentioned.
  3. You aren't supposed to only be attached by your side d's but that's what 99.9% of people do, so in reality I wouldn't worry about it. The above is when moving your mainline only as there is no other reason to only be attached on the d's.
  4. I don't see the problem. Surely they are only walking the dog and "will be back in a minute." I think there are a lot of stupid people out there but more and more who know what they are doing but just don't give a fook about anyone else, which is 10 worse imo.
  5. I think you have your answer. In an ideal world it would be great to pay everyone a better wage no matter what they do but.. Does he think he can get £125 from someone else? FOr £100 a day I would expect to have a really excellent groundie who knows the job inside out, I couldnt see many people paying £125 unless they are running a team etc. Good luck and I hope you can stay mates no matter what happens.
  6. I don't know how you can manage to get away with not cleaning air filters! Ditto on a lot of other maintenance things though.
  7. Totally agree although I would never mince, I prefer to saunter and have been know to prance but not mince.
  8. How about, do you work for the company selling the oil? Firstly your efforts did nothing as they still sell it and secondly 50% of your 4 posts have been to bump this thread.
  9. The first two are not what you want, they are for putting screws into wood. Buy the 240v unless you want to spend 5 times that on a battery version. Unless you have an air line then you have more choice.
  10. if I had to choose one song it would be Jay z and Alicia Keys empire state of mind. It's usually when I'm trying to sleep that a tune goes around and around.......
  11. Some weird advice from stefan for sure! Wish you all the best Nick, sorry I can't help any further.

    Yes it certainly should.

    I couldnt agree more. If you didnt like Jons humor then it was all negative unfortunately. I still dont understand why no one has sorted a facebook out for him, it would keep him and all his mates happy.
  14. Ok but I would be happy with 14k left after everything had been paid on an 80k turnover. That is profit and not my wages btw, which is where the confusion comes in I think.
  15. I would say 15% profit or over is extremely good unless you are a multi million pound company so youre doing better than probably every other arb company I know.
  16. I can never understand the logic of trying to force their way though, although there are a lot more mentally challenged people out there than we realise. Anyone pushing a pram through an obvious hazard is one of them.
  17. Hey I was about to:thumbup1: Pete's post too. Blocked off loads of foot paths in the past but always have had someone there to either help pedestrians or stop works to let them through. Although plenty of people could just cross the road and save everyone a bit of grief.
  18. I don't like the idea of rep points as some users would have loads and I don't think it makes their advice any better than others. I think it should be the'job' of more knowledgeable members to put things straight.
  19. To be fair I only read the title if the thread so I can't be held responsible for my muppetness, week in my mind. Hope this hasn't been covered but will the mobile friendly bit resize things so it basically looks the same or will it be a different look? It's not really an issue for me as my browser converts mobile sites to desktop but word wraps things so I don't have to scroll side to side when reading posts. It's just the browser updates some times screw things up a bit.
  20. Sounds good, I must have missed that bit:blushing: It's also good to see that your not adding one of those like button things:thumbup1:
  21. Sounds like lots of good ideas and looking forward to the new site:thumbup1: If the blog section starts getting out of control can we have the option to not see it when we click todays posts, unread posts etc or have it disabled from the start and we have to enable it to see them? I think the question and answer thing could be quite good as long as the questions are relevant to the forum then the decent answers should follow (Bolam's exempt obviously)
  22. I have no experience moving from a non vat to a vat registered company but im sure you cant claim xx years worth of vat back on previous purchases. Well, I dont think you can claim every purchase back as a guy I know thought he could and was rubbing his hands, accountant soon set him straight!
  23. I was thinking that. Good to see youve decided to splash out and buy some.
  24. Possibly but I think most dont want to be there but have no choice. In my book if you 'have' to work 7 days a week then you really need to sort things out. I must admit it is very convenient shops being open almost 24 hrs a day but im sure I could easily cope without it.
  25. Imo they should go back to the way it was and close on a Sunday, give the poor buggers who work there a day off. Life is getting far too busy.
