    also people with that sort of gaff/motor tend to have more trees and so offer more work, one of my clients gives me at least 14 days a year of nicely priced work, people like that you want to look after, not squeeze em till the pips squeak!

  17. well said, I m not in a position to be running gleaming state of the art tippers, use whatevers to hand to get the job done, customers don't give a toss as long as the jobs done well and for a good price. we are only glorified gardeners after all:biggrin:

    Arbogrunt, I think it's very dangerous to say forget about it, it s history, can't remember who said it but those that forget the lessons of the past are destined to repeat them in the future , we should never gloss over either good or bad, it all needs to be learnt from Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
