point taken didnt look at it that way, but what if a firm of english nationals set up down the road and got paid minimum wage and undercut eveery job you quote on? Not that this is a race issue:thumbup1:

Like someone said above no one is making him be there he is lucky he has found work and like I said he wont be geting half of that monney at home
-
Im on 125 quid a week as an apprentice have no tickets tree surgery firms can pay poor monney. And do you cant pay someone unqulified the same as someone qualified plus a east european cant complain nconsidering he was geting half if not less back home

quick question about my CS30/31
Frankie Lawrence replied to Frankie Lawrence's topic in Training & education
conrats on the 30 and sorry to hear about the 31. I never new that 2 lads I no just passed both of there 30/31 and tey didnt have type cs unless the instructor lent it them althogh this was private not college like me. Looks like ill have to ask the olders to borrow a pair. -
Following on from a thread from early just re-reading the letter and it says I need all roudn protection. I always thought all round protection was for cs39 and onwards? Can anyone explain this to me?
-
haha I thought exactley the same. As said above the sawdus does collect in front pocket and makes an awful mess by the washing machine or in it. But personally I think they alot of better than jumpers.

very good point

Finally got my cs30/31 booked
Frankie Lawrence replied to Frankie Lawrence's topic in Training & education
hello. I would love to it privatley our firm is good friends with a instructor who we give and get work from/to and hes a realy good guy. but the only reason I choose to do the apprentership scheme is because it was free I realy have no means of affording privatley. Im hoping that passing cs30/31 will increase my wage ( my boss promised this) and if plumptoin dont pull there finger out there ass then do 38/39 privatley so will keep anote of his name for future reference cheers. -
Im over the moon not onl is it friday but Plumpton college have finally decided to pull there finger out and put me through my tickets. They have messed me about so much at one point after promising me my chipper ticket/30/31/32/38/39/PA1PA6/brushcutter and more they said'oh we are only going to give you your chiper ticket thats its !' So after much agro my CS30/31 is booked for first week in march. My carreer begins now. Ive had muchadvice from the blokes at work but any more is gratley apreciative.
-
To be honest as the boss of the job its irrelevan if its saturday or sunay if you want more monney as an employer just for doing a saturday then its up to you not to do it then if you no what I mean. Yes you should charge extra but the day of the week has nothing to do with it IMO.
-
It makes me laugh when my boss walks around callin himself the maniging director it sounds so posh and upmarket which just isnt him
-
can we use big shots?
-
did exactley the same minus the restaunt with the missus. Great game ay.
-
The way were told to look at it is that although alot of the time you wont make alot of monney from logs its a good bit of free advertising. As said above I wouldt sell by wieght measure the ubic meters of your form of delievry it make you look more genuine and no one can bite you in the bckside
-

Forestry/woodland work, day rates?
Frankie Lawrence replied to Andy Collins's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
This is what I cant understand when my Boss is down the woods with us I'm pretty sure he said you should be cuttin a ton a day! So I asked how much was in our quite smal pile at the end of the first day he said about a third of a ton!. Now I'm only now getting the hang of felling/sneddig etc and still have no tickets (thanks plumpton college!). So I have not much of an idea about wieght hes got an old book of price of timber as most fellers have he says, but it was published in 1982! We share a yard with a bloke that we sub contract big oaks to and he makes a mint he also does most other kinds of wood but it shows how easy it is with a harvester an still the price of wood is ridiculously cheap.
