  1. iPhone 8, when you say browser do you mean the ISO?
  2. Good morning Mr Bullmam, what’s this about?
  3. That’s right, at the time I was living down near you, I had a mate in Stevenage who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, I’d go over to see him under the guise of unblocking a drain in case I got a pull on the way there/back, Strange times.
  4. It certainly was, and we are paying for it now. Initially I was like most others, stayed indoors and all that. It soon wore thin so I just carried on as normal.
  5. Day to day it isn’t to bad, driving the van wasn’t the best idea. I’m not that bothered about not earning, I’ve only my bit of ground rent, and my belly to feed.
  6. The bike is now fixed, driving is not fun. Took the van out yesterday afternoon, probably not the best move but I’m going stir crazy.
  7. I’ve never been so offended!
  8. When I looked into it many years ago you had to have the money/finance to put down on the machine to get any funding for a start-up, things may have changed for the better, I doubt it. My best advice is, keep hold of that contracting work for as long as you can when you’re starting on your own.
  9. That’s about the size of it from what I understand, that said, I’ve never done a cash job so I might be getting confused.
  10. The questions are dubious to say the least, I’ve done the test before and it states I’m SE, to tell you the truth, I don’t care.
  11. It was tongue in cheek, I get my red in an outboard motor fuel tank. I’ve seen many folks fill up ‘can’s’ that I’m sure shouldn’t be allowed. I guess it depends where you fill up.
  12. I get red for my diesel heater in the ‘van from the local Wharf, they’d let me fill a carrier bag, legally, it should go in an approved container.
  13. Shocking, not!
  14. It’s nonsense, I don’t want to be employed with the perks that come with it, the bloke who has the franchise doesn’t want me on his books, so it works well. I pay my tax on time, for now we will carry on, until one of us gets a tug.
  15. I’d say that’s up for debate, I’m paid by the day when doing servicing work, which sort of says I’m employed. It’s a minefield that I’ll skip around until I get a pull for it.
  16. I care not a jot, Mark.
  17. I’m waiting for this to come up, since I moved 90% of my work has been for Dyno SE. I’ve had 18 months of it, how long can it go on before it gets noticed?…
  18. Give it a wide berth, there are many easier ways to make money. Just my opinion.
  19. Didn’t Mick say in this instance it was in the blokes lunch break?
  20. Subtle but significant my arse! If you ask to borrow a trailer for the weekend, or ask to use a trailer for the weekend most people would take it as the same thing.
  21. You can see the hypocrisy though? When you used council equipment it was ok, but when one of the lads did it, they were wrong’uns. Typical council manager.
  22. … And show me any lad who hasn’t used the company van for their own means, and I’ll show you a liar.
  23. Another version of you will be doing what you do, running his own gig, not doing all that enjoyable work for £26k while lining your pocket. I’d stick with contractors if I was you.
  24. Few and far between, in fact, I service very few that are gravity discharge.
