steve@black replied to NatureLover's topic in General chat
What a load of rubbish , try and tell the tree companies round here that when they are quieter this time of year and flat out in the winter. -
Thats cool enough , maybe you should just leave it where you leave the rest of your scrap:001_rolleyes:

Good posys above , Non liveried clothing , gotta be a right wind up to se someone walking around in a competitors tshirt or brand of beer on the front of it. Plain unsignwritten motor too. Dont talk about what rate you are on thats strictly between you and the gaffer . Smaller firms agree a rate and what kit you bring along. Have ended up bringing along all the gear to do a big takedown before and wondered whats going on , that cost extra these days.

Things breaking at the wrong time! After delivering a load of logs this afternoon down the end of a small dead end lane at about 430 today I saw an old telehandler coming down the lane towards me ,no lights or glass ect nothing unusual round these parts and as he went to pull up on the verge it just stopped and my old nextdoor neighbour jumped out looking flustered walked up and said "oh i am glad its you". Then I spent the next fourty five minutes in the dark and rain getting covered in diesel. Turns out he just brought the handler and pulled it out of the brambles as it had not been moved for six years.Older boys like him ought to know really Friday afternoon just before dark is not the time to do jobs like this. Dont spose he cares the handler has got a 4 ton lift and 9m reach and he gave 300 quid for it the jammy git

What a great idea, how many people would take on a lad if it was not going to cost the earth.Once you shoe and clothe them the outlay would be minimal not that it would be 29 pound a week any more,and what a great chance for school leavers to spend a year or two in the industry, just being on site and gaing experience and a few quals would be a great way to get into a notoriosly difficult industry to get into. To get to 18 with a couple of quals and a few years exp gotta be a headstart.Even just being in the workiing environment and cutting the apron strings.I have had enough calls from mums asking for a job for there lad(thats a fall at the first hurdle)or the ones I have tried mummy ring up to say they wont be in because they are sick.(its raining today)
