One of my young shavers unexpectedly worked up enough of a sweat before lunchtime today to remove his shirt and dazzle passers by. Is this a first for 2013?

Sometimes if i havnt heard back after about a month,and i notice that the job hasnt been done,i ring them and ask if theyve had any more thoughts about the tree/hedge/connies what have you. They either say oh yes when can you do it,or i accepted a quote 1/4 of your price.

Depends on how hard they work, and how long the day is. £10 an hour plus if they're draggin and chipping all day. Considerably less if they spend a lot of time rolling fags up,or stand chatting to the customers half dressed teenage daughter for long periods of time.

young friend of mine has not had a call in 3 weeks.He advertises heavily,employes a groundie as and when,has old but well maintained kit,and works his socks off when he does win some work. So when that long awaited call comes to price up a days job for two,will he quote £300 and hope to get it,or say £500 take it or leave it mrs?

Advice on price to fell and burn 100 Lawsons
oldwoodcutter replied to dave28's topic in General chat
The client is asking Dave for a day rate,so normally that doesn't mean getting the biggest plant in and doing it all in a day. All cord and logs left on site,so lot ground saw work,and only 'top & lop' to be burnt up. -

Checked in at the honeymooners hotel were 3 couples,and towards the end of the evening Tom Dick and Harry happened to all be at the bar,away from their ladies for a moment. They got chatting,and of course ended up talking about the impending activities,and with this in mind decided that the 3 couples would sit together over breakfast. Next morning old Tom started off and dropped just 1 sugar cube in his tea and stirred it up,middle aged Dick meanwhile reached for the sugar bowl and dropped 3 lumps in his cuppa. Young Harry then picked up the sugar spoon and glumly threw it straight in the pot of raspberry jam.
