i think i will take on some staff just to try that out, working yourself is less hassle but so boring and no laughs. Thy heardith once aboutith a groundie that left the site to go for a dump, after returning over 2 hrs later, said boss asked where the bleep had you been.The chap replied, i asked the lady along the road if i could use her loo, she replied certainly make yourelf at home. So why have you been over 2 hrs asked the boss The gentle giant groundsman replied " i had a bath" So thou shall never wash the baws in nieghbours bathroom with lufa:001_tongue:

thou will be the only one who thinks they are cool in full climbing gear and spikes in the roll shop. thou shall disown your harness and brush when you take delivery of your first pole pruner and blower Thou shall always convince customer that large hedge reductions will come away better if you hold 046 at chest hieght not head hieght

thou shall always refer to the phone in the halway as "back at the office" thou shall always rest your hand on new lads thigh while not changing gear, awaiting reaction. thou shall never release climbers death grip to said lads knee until he shouts "please put it in me" Thy groundy should never return from the shops with bosses fiver, with a redbull for himself and spar cola for me.

oh no mate what have you gone and started. i have a volkswagen window van. but i have had 4x4s and have used loads. If it is to look cool, be comfy and race up and down bumpy muddy tracks. i think the new navara aventura is awesome. or if you want none of the above and want a workhorse that will take a beating for 20 years join john hancocks gang.

i thought you said they were a good bunch of lads. lol (only jocking boys)ha ha

i dont know any mate, can anyone recommend a good one that covers scotland and national. sounds like you guys are needing some. if i could make money at it, i can soon get my hands on it. from coppice ash(12") to monster horrible stuff that i can rip down to processor size. And anything in the middle.
-
I know what you mean mate, i am just crap at wording stuff. spent too many years in earmuffs not talking to any one(before wireless) if you could ask him that would be great. cheers stevie

Thou shalt punish bushy tailed tree rats for scaring the bijeezus out of me, and making me scream like a girl, infront of 2 hot nurses hanging out a window waving a diet coke can.Hero to zero in 2 seconds. Squeak squeak chipity chip chip

i hope i word this right, if you get an ongoing contract, how much should the cost increase every year. I have the chance of a small contract, 1 man with tools doing maintenace around a large garden. If i get the contract, i will have it for the life expectansy of the homeowner(lady early fifties)so you could be talking 40 years. It will be getting paid by the government, so it not like i can just say to her every year(give me another tenner) This is a good wee job for a very good cause, but i dont want to be stuck working for the same money in 20 years time, when simple wording in a contract will solve this. I have never committed to a contract before, thanks for any help guys:biggrin:
