Daniel Jiggins

I ain't really got the time Jon, what I won't stand is pricks like Daniel Jiggens accusing me of being a grass, apparently he's a man mountain....... Not man enough to answer his phone mind.

Morning Eggs,

Just to clarify a few things.

1/ I was given the information by the 3rd party firm and as I said 'Apparently' in my first post which I presume you missed!

2/ The bigger man knows when as you put it 'Wind there neck in' instead of gobbing off.

3/ The bigger man does not hide behind there screen with an alias name.

4/ The bigger man does not contact a family home late at night with a wife and kid listening to some hot head threatening to come over and sort me out.

5/ And yes I am a bit of a man mountain but I would never condone violence or threaten / intimidate some one over a petty thing on the Internet.

6/ You clearly have my details 'To come and pay me a visit' as it's not hard to find as I post under my name.

And please as you put it 'Don't throw your teddy out the pram' as what I have said is true and factual and I am happy to post the PM and voice mails you have left.

You have obviously searched my name to look up my details and if you continue to do so I will take this further.

Oh and I get my fuel from BP and never had any issues.

Have a good day, Fellow arbs and Log merchants (And everyone else who is in this industry, Oh sorry don't think that includes you matey).

Are you talking about me?

Just what I heard, I'm not bothered who it was as it benefitted me in the end so happy days, Just a shame you have to be careful what you say / post.

Treequip, I get the same nonsense from this chap. Seems to think he's the arbitrator of what should be posted, I find it easier to just skip his posts and move onto the ones that actually contribute something

Apparently the same guy stitched me up by giving a photo to a company I had a collision with a few weeks back trying to get me in the sh*t but it backfired.

Take a look at the Aspen thread, Not only better running machines but the health benefits are worth the extra ££ alone!

I wonder if the other supermarkets will follow suit, I think it will get Morrisons more custom.

I am happy to pay extra to support our dairy farmers

You are right about employers and their responsibilities in the workplace. I was referring to the landlords of these estates, they get round their responsibilities and liabilities by supplying grit bins and put the onus onto the tenant.They would leave themselves open to prosecution if they were to supply the service.

 

Extract:

 

If a landlord has granted a right of way to the tenant (and more than likely also their visitors and employees) over the estate areas, then there will be an obligation to ensure that the right of way can be exercised safely. That said, this doesn’t mean that a landlord has to clear every inch of every possible route of access. Case law (see McCondichie v Mains Medical Centre [2004] L.R. 4 below), sets out that landlords aren’t liable for someone who may have an accident in a car park, for example if they have put a reasonable system to clear access routes in place.

 

However, effectively gritting and clearing all access routes could be a particularly onerous task, one which a landlord will struggle to maintain. A practical solution would be for a landlord to facilitate the removal of snow by providing the tenant with the necessary equipment, along with a regularly restocked grit bin.

I only do offices, supermarkets, Retail outlets etc so wasn't aware of the landlord part.

£150 hire charge approx, £320 labour leaving grindings on site raked over.

That's what I would charge.

We did well out of gritting and snow clearing, the bags were selling like hotcakes at the gate ,also the gritting and snow clearance kept some of the lads busy around some of the estates we do grounds maintenance on. A friend of mine who does a lot more of this bought tailgate mounted spreaders and mini snowploughs for his 4x4 pickups, they were flat out though the last cold snap . I suppose the kit has not moved since,that said I would imagine its all paid for itself and its ready to go if and when we get a situation like this. I know for a fact he got through 4 artic loads of salt/grit because I unloaded it in my yard as he was pushed up for space. The upside is its some turn over at times when nothing else is going on . An interesting aside to this is the liability of snow and ice clearing, if a landlord does nothing and someone slips over and breaks a leg he is not liable, if he clears the snow/ice and someone slips and breaks a leg he will be liable because his efforts are deemed inadequate. True:thumbdown:

That subject of doing nothing and being ok is a load of codswallop as an employer you have to take 'reasonable' steps to prevent slips and trips in the work place for both your employees and visitors alike.

Doing nothing does not not show you have made 'reasonable' steps to prevent this.

Mine has just lowered the price by over 10ppl as I stopped using it, Will wait and see if it creeps back up again.

I've run the kubota one for years with no problems.

I thought it was called flaming? Against rules?

I found a lot of B&Q sites seem to be looked after by ground control who used to advertise for people on here. It might be worth contacting GC and asking if you can on their contractors list.

They also do the Sainsburys around here, UK landscapes do Morrisons, Aldi, Asda. I do snow clearing for UK landscapes and a friend does gritting for ground control both are good companies to work under.

I have just realised I'm paying £1.28 for diesel where the forecourt price is only £1.18 So much for saving money! I will be applying for the Shell card I think.

This has just made me check my fuel card I'm paying £106.94 + vat with the direct fuels routex card.

That's more than pump price!

Which engine? IIRC, various Tecumseh (😕), Suzuki (👍), Kawasaki (👌) etc

Don't forget the Honda on the XL500

Mine is chip and pin, there is only me that uses it, it is working well at the moment.

Is it assigned to one vehicle only or can you use any vehicle with the one card?

We use one for doing the banks around a swimming pool, Tie a piece of rope on the handles and pull up and down leaves a nice cut if not too long.

Yes, Looks similar to some of the Giant Hogweed photos I've seen on the Internet. cheers, steve

That was my thought too but definitely a wasp, He got badly stung a few months back and has reacted to this one.

Are you sure they are wasp stings? I've never seen them blister like that!

Yes only one wasp, He was wearing trousers and it got under his trouser leg.

The dead wasp fell out on the carpet, He went and got checked at A&E today as it got worse as the day went on.

My groundy called earlier saying he won't be in tomorrow as he has been stung by wasps, What a big fairy!!

Was Kent show Jon, Ellie looked tasty in those shorts 😍

Had Lamb Shank roast dinner today, Very nice.

Hi DAN with alloy tipper yes thanks Jon

Hi Jon, Yes alloy tipper

I have passed one several times in Essex believe it belongs to a farmer as always pulling a cattle trailer, Sorry no pics I'm afraid.
