    For whoever it was that thinks you can get sued for providing emergency First Aid, this is the current state of play in the UK. https://www.sja.org.uk/sja/about-us/latest-news/good-samaritan.aspx The general jist is that if you don't act like a dick and step outside your remit then you aren't going to get sued successfully.

    Not sure where I got it from but I have it in my head that you need to avoid a set pattern of working for one client eg every Monday and Tuesday (smacks of being a part-time employee) and you need more than just a couple of firms that you freelance for (I'm thinking 4 but again I couldn't swear to where I got that from).

    Great pictures, David! Bats absolutely fascinate me and I spend many happy hours out with my detector in the company of the local Bat Group.

    Sorry to hear this, Graham. Let me know if you need to borrow a saw for a bit.

    Apologies if I have misunderstood you. Do you work for this one person 5 days a week or are you working for different people as well? If you are working for other people then you are a freelancer, not an employee (other than from the point of view of insurance, as you would always be working under the employer's insurance unless you were on your own job), and so not entitled to the benefits of employee status. As a freelancer, you are entitled to set your own rate and decide who you work for and when. If you work for the one person every day then you are an employee and entitled to all those benefits. I would still advise you to seek the advice previously mentioned. Hope that is a bit clearer.

    You are an employee, whether your boss thinks you are or not. You need to have a difficult conversation with him which might not go well. At the moment you are missing out on holiday pay, sick pay, paternity pay, pension and ppe, as well as wasting money on insurance which you don't need and which wouldn't pay out in the event of a claim. I would get some professional advice on your status and talk to your insurance company to get their take on it. Sorry it's not better news.

    My dad can remember seeing them in Salcombe when he was evacuated down there during WW2.

    I bought two loops and still got charged for delivery.

    Do you organise any of the work you do eg where or when you work? Do you provide anything other than your personal kit eg truck and chipper, other members of staff? Do you get any part of the profit from the job other than your day rate? If the answer to these questions is no, you do not need Public Liability cover as you are freelance labour(although in your situation I would argue strongly that you are an employee and your employer is dodging his responsibilities to you with regards sick pay and holiday pay, ppe etc). In fact, you are wasting your money because your insurer would not pay out.

    Anybody had any experience of these, please?

    They have a nasty habit of lunching their transmissions if driven too much on road rather than off.
