    A child cant show his support to a charity he believes in, but they will demand his support for their annual sponsored 3 legged race or other ridiculous money making scam for the school coffers! i believe anybody in this country who disrespects help for heroes deserves a punch in the face. They do a fantastic job which in truth this sham of a government should be doing!!

    A punch in the face is the only cure for idiots like this. Or a week on the frontline in Afghan!!

    Thats awesome garry!! man after my own heart!! In future mate, do what i do dont leave until they do pay. i generally approach the client while tidying up then if theres a problem which there never has, everything can be tipped straight back. I wouldnt give in, write them a formal letter giving them 7 days to pay, then if they dont pay take it all back and issue another bill for same amount plus expenses for removing waste. if that fails kidnap and torture them!!! ( Joking by the way ) good luck

    Hi all, I am very interested in milling and would love to do some myself from all the timber i cut down. however i absolutely know zilch about equipment the process etc. I was wondering if there was anybody in the Dorset area that would let me join them for a day preferably on a saturday to teach me, in exchange for my free labour? many thanks Dave

    Go speak to local farmers/ landowners I got mine in exchange for bit of treework now n again plus I keep the area spic n span. Win win for both of us!!

    Your labour costs alone for 3 guys on avg wage onPAYE are gonna be £300 fuel £40 then all the other costs worked out into daily rate I.e truck chipper yard saws ppe consumables, insurance damages, the list is endless! Work all this out before u even star the job and ur talking about £500 for a 3 man crew. This is for proper set up! Obviously there are tons of variations just going on my experience of the 3 man crew I work in. Our minimum earn rate is £650! But some days we earn well over 1k !

    It amazed me how many people rubber necked at the scene but didnt stop to help. they would think different if it was their kid.

    i was driving back to the yard when a kid on a bike got hit by a bus. i was first on the scene and carried out initial first aid until apassing nurse stopped. the lads sorted out traffic. the kid was unconscious but soon came round and seemed to be ok apart from severe grazing all over and possibly broken arm. The police were useless i managed to find the kids address out and send one of the lads round to inform them otherwise he'd have gone to hospital by himself. Main think kid will be ok but didnt half give me a shock.

    How about a box on your invoice where your customer could make a voluntary donation. You could prob spk to H4H and use their logo etc

    Get yourself to good physio who specialises in backs. i shattered a disc in my lower back in 2000 and after operations, injections acupuncture and loads of stupid advice and exercises i was referred to an excellent physio who told me to stop being lazy and thrashed me in the gym. not had a problem since!!
