  1. Mark, i did say go for it when i read your o/p but i think Rupe is right in what he says. I think you need to walk before you can run. Take your time, it will come, in time, just don't rush in where fools dare to tread.
  2. If what your saying is true then go for it, if your boss doesn't want the private work and you pay for and treat his gear with respect, i can't see anything wrong with you trying to better yourself.
  3. If you had worked harder through the recession you wouldn't have to take cheap weekends away:001_tt2:Get a proper holiday for you and yours:thumbup: Ps it wasn't their choice. Now trot on lad.
  4. If they are anything like "strikes" the last one my family was involved in lasted over 18 months (not by choice) 1984 i think it finished, fortunatley my farther didn't work in the mines but he used to send/take food parcels to all my uncles every week to keep them going whilst they were on the picket line(not their choice).
  5. I'm never anything but calm, but i thought with you coming from Yorkshire you would of known better than slagging people off for striking, after all your lot (Yorkshire men) and my lot were mostly miners and knew what it was like to have to fight to keep our jobs.
  6. I don't need to be patronised by someone with as little intellect as yourself, who starts a thread without thinking about what sort of debate they are starting, has the penny dropped?
  7. What so people going on strike isn't a serious debate?
  8. Is thats the best you can do on a serious debate.
  9. so like i said what as that got to do with my business or the way i pay my employes in the recession.....let me answer that for you.....sfa
  10. Read through this thread properly my mrs works for the local water company (privately owned). And whats that got to do with my business?
  11. Yes i do run my own business and i've had to diversify in more than one way to getting a living, but not at the expense off my staff, nor as it change my way of life.
  12. You may be right but thats not the fault of the working classes its the fault of past and present governments....so why should the employed working class pay for their mistakes. Untill you or your own have been on the recieving end of these sort of cuts you will never understand WHY people would need to strike.
  13. Well said Hodge, my mrs works for the local water company and i subbed in to them for many years which was a good number but in the last year or so we saw many lads laid off due to lack of work, would you believe it the same company are now looking at setting on more lads than they laid off in the same role as the ones they laid off but without the perks that the original lads had.
  14. What? so you think as a working class man who as worked all your working life for an instution such as the government or the local council, utility company and been promised decent terms and conditions plus a pension at the end of your service that its fair to have all these things ripped away from you just because weve had a recession...wake up mate.
  15. who is striking, and what are they striking about?
  16. The reason i said that was i had 10t given to me last winter, i just paid to have it moved about 2 miles........It will me mixed in with this years wood:thumbup:
  17. £5 per tonne roadside. Yes it's a hardwood.
  18. Now thats what you call service:thumbup:
  19. Softly, softly, catchy-monkey.
  20. No, its not its about supply and demand. The massive rise in the price of cordwood also pushes up the price of logs. If you produce a good product you will get premium money for it. By the way, no one will get a cube off me this year for any less than £140. And if that means me having enough wood to last until March, I'll be a happy man.
