Been in that position myself Getting the letter stating 'if you do not hear by.......' really leaves the whole thing in the air as letters can and do get lost- Really you have no proof that you did not receive the letter. Similarly they have no proof that you did as they are not sent recorded delivery. Surely this leaves the responsible contractor with only one option- to e mail the tree dept. and get verification that it is OK to fell. Surely it would be better if TO said 'wait till you hear from us- it will be within the next x weeks'

Isn't it great. The government announce a bank holiday but at the employers expense. They get the glory- we get to pay for it. Fantastic None of the guys on my firm are remotely interested in royalty Plus- another day out of the busiest time of the year for us. Grump.

Xmas packages for contracts manager (sweeteners)
likeitorlumpit replied to grenadier's topic in Business Management
Don't even think of it The contracts manager will be happy to have a contractor that does a great job and with no complaints to waste his time with. That's more valuable to him than a bottle of whiskey. -
end of the day on guessing 50% of the work we get we must be cheapest It's called competition

Academic etiquette and writing
likeitorlumpit replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Training & education
Hours spent in the library nicking anything remotely related to the research et al seemed to crop up quite a bit. I've since used it on xmas cards- academia gets to you- it's not showing off- it just becomes natural -
East Kent- Holm Oak loves the coast

which leads to me wondering if bugger is a swear word on these boards

does invasive mean that it spreads of its own accord In which case it most definately is and I've noticed it growing faster in the past 5 years or so.

Spot on Though I do hate being late Everyone knows the day the sat nav says you have 20mins extra to get there only to be caught in traffic and having to make phone call- judge a man on whether he remembered to take the customers phone number with him!

we found a 'level' load on a cabstar was 2-2.4m depending on where you call level. Dumpy bag= 0.6cu.m. so at least 3 per load Thats why at £45/bag they seem so cheap- it equates to about £150 /cabstar load. I think what you really need are repeat customers who value what you sell. Look after them and they will look after you. The reason customers are asking all these questions is because they have been ripped off so many times. Just come back from garden centre where they are selling bag os 11 logs for £5.99-
