  7. Your son needs to ask himself what path he wants to follow, another jobbing Gardner (there are loads )or run a business? There are plenty of diffrance! Also remember a cleaner charges 10 an hour and supplies v little if anything, you son providing tools, insurance, transport at 12 pound an hour is a sure way too signing on!

  9. Problem is he doesn't know how to price it! In that case best just go hourly but 12 quid really? My Web site guy charges 30 an hour with a laptop!
  10. Nashers always had good hydraulics, that's what I would go for but I'm a Nasher fan.
  11. The small bandits seem to block up with bits of wood under the rollers so you have to jiggle the control bar, the forst never does.
