    It's a mugs game having anything else in your life apart from work!

    That's a shame, I was having a whale of a time reading the comments

    Seems a bit vindictive, the way you talk your business is thriving. So why shaft a couple of competitors so much they have to leave the country?

    Mog does sound a bit pricey tbh, although it's probably what you should be charging! I personally wouldn't pay that much, on the other hand tracked chipper with operator price seems a bit cheap, take £100 off your mog and put 50 on tracked chipper.(imo)

    He wanted to get £500 for the wood, 100 quid for moving it, I've sold £400 worth provisionally. I'm getting good money on the job, I'm in a much better situation to sell the wood than he is, he's a valued repeat customer. It's no real problem for me.

    Hang on a minute, I priced the job at a fair price for both me and the client, he wants to try and recoup some of his costs selling timber. There are several people lined up to buy it, however trying to get them all to the site at the same time when finishing job won't happen. Easiest for me to clear it all and leave a tidy site and recoup the dosh over a couple of weeks. I won't lose any money. The job is tidier and customer happy. What's the problem

    Now that is heavy duty, bet you manage to bend one anyway!

    I'm gonna get it all shifted to yard, it's gonna owe me £600 by the time it's shifted/paid customer.
