  1. Mate, dont book so much in, I never work on a weekend, my diary is full, 6 weeks in advance, due mainly to me spreading the work load, but the punters see that I am really busy so book with me as well!

    I do loose a bit of business as some want the work done sooner bet thats life. I go away for a week every couple of months as well, its obviously not great for business but I set the answer phone telling people i am away and if ghey leave a message great if not, hey ho.

     

    Spread it out and take a break, you never know whats around the corner, I have been trading 6 years now and life is great.

  2. no worries, you know I mean Laetiporus sulphureus dont you:thumbup1:

     

    sometimes I assume folk get me!:blushing:

     

    Yeh, I thought it was and had told the client so but always nice to get a confirmation, tganks again.

  3. After a bit of help from anyone in the know!

     

    Got a Timberwolf 150 Chipper that's about 10 years old and has been working fine but last week the rollers just stopped working when ever you fed anything slightly demanding in. When it stops all I have to do is drop the revs off then push em back up it carries on working until the next load. It's as though it wants to pause for the stress but just doesn't kick back in.

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

  5. Good answer, I'm about to put my son through an apprenticeship and will get his tickets done through the local college as the training is then free but i have to pay for assessment.

     

    I spoke to a lot of the guy's at the college doing Arb courses and the weren't to impressed with the course but they said the same as John that you only get out what you put in.

     

    I did a year of countryside & Habitat management at my local college and some of the kids there were just on an easy ticket to £30 a month that the government pays them to be in education, most of them never bothered handing in the course work and would dissapear once they got the tick in the box. Think the young lad you have may be a bit of a slacker to be honest Theocus.
