I can't remember what it feels like having dashing good looks, bit like the fella in the above photo, I presume.

Can't wait for the pictures, oh, and tell your youngest son not to lean on your handy work.

That's some fireplace on an oil rig...

If I was I'd be a team player like. Which way do you want it?
-
This was always the case when I was employed. It ain't going to change much nowadays. If people want to go out on a weekend for flat rate they are welcome to it. I guess I'm not a team player.

Read as... I'll be putting a beer behind the bar for the boss, wouldn't want people thinking I was a tightwad.

There's always tomorrow, it's a marathon not a sprint.

... if I was employing lads on proper contracts they'd be on time/third, time/half, or double time for working weekends. I wouldn't charge them out at any more mind... perhaps I would in real life. I did what should have been a six hundred quid job a couple of Saturdays back, the client insisted I couldn't get in there until after lunchtime. That job will be £800 quid sir, see you Saturday afternoon. I'm not writing half my weekend off for no greater reward. Some might want to put business first, I prefer time with people I know and like on the days they get off work.

lots of these chemicals make the rust stain 'bleed', don't use it on natural stone. You'll end up with blood red stains far bigger than what's there now.

Funny if it was correct, what we've got is a virus NOT a plague.
-
To be fair I could probably throw a glass full from here and wouldn't miss.

You are correct you wouldn't match the mortar exactly, if it was bird crap a decent pressure washer would have it away no problem. If I HAD to make a call I'd say the marks are rust stains from something being sat on them, if they are he's stuck with them.

That picture isn't the best but it looks like natural grey riven slabs 450x450, if there aren't too many knock them out and replace them. About £15-20 m2.

How dare they protest throwing people/cities into chaos for a day or two? Hang on, it's when people get to the end of their tether because those that make the rules won't listen to the general public. And we all understand that the vast majority of the protesters are peaceful, with the normal suspects turning up to turn it into a ruck, don't we?

I never thought I'd see the day when more alcohol touched my hands than my lips.

Depends what the surface is, if it's Indian sandstone or similar don't use patio cleaner that you see in the diy sheds it will have hydrochloric acid in it, you will end up with a bigger mess than you started with. I've been to plenty that customers have tried to clean themselves and said, sorry fella you knackered it.

No it's his new avatar when he's got his daft head on, the one where he can't comprehend, make sure your contractor knows and use these practices, nowt to do with home owners using blowers.

Which points?, rember I ain't in the trade.
-
Or am I totally wrong?
-
Bastards, sorry to hear that pal.

They indeed do. I thought our kids approach was a cracker, "what ya going to do if I stay open after 22:00"... copper, "Now't lad, no trouble, and we won't trouble you"... our kid, Would you like a drink"... copper" No thanks I'm on duty, good evening sir". Old fashioned common sense, very rare thing these days.

Not being policed according to our kid, he wrote feck on it and is carrying on as normal in his pub. The police visit his establishment regularly because his pub is close to Stoke's football ground, when he ran it by the local bobby he was told that if there was no trouble from the pub he won't get trouble from the police. But it is a joke, can MPs still smoke in the bars of the commons? They certainly were way after the plebs couldn't smoke in pubs.

Etither way, giving Stubby the finger is not on, he's an old man I'll have you know.

How are you diversifying your business during Covid-19

No, I just don't want idiots around me, they are out there in the real world along with those you happen to bump into on the internet. -

Nice work if you can get it.
