    Customers!

    Best one we had was a chap who boasted about how much he had paid for his country house and about how rich he was, then in the same sentence he turned around and told us "as you get older you realise life is not all about money, but in fact its all about your friends and family!" Yeah thanks for that, after we just slaved away removing the very large chestnut and yew in the baking sun and having the price haggled down by £50! P.Hall http://www.greentreeworks.co.uk

  5. I would be surprised if the insurer could explain all that, I’d put money on it that they wouldn’t be able to explain it the same way twice. Any excuse not to pay. P.Hall www.greentreeworks.co.uk

    Ms460 ?

    Hi I have had two 460s so far, very good saw lots of grunt with 18" or 25" Only problem I have found and this has happened again today is that it was working fine, then after a re-fuel it failed to oil! Not sure if this a known issue or not but as I say this is the second time. P.Hall http://www.greentreeworks.co.uk

  10. Hello mate! I had a client that sub contracted a take down to me, I did the job no probs, then he decided he didn’t want to pay me, after 6 months of letters I wrote to him to say I was taking him to court, got a solicitor involved, they wrote to him and still got nothing back, in the mean time I went back to his client for some info. I charged the contractor £700 to remove the large Oak and grind the stump, turns out he charged the client £1400 for the job we did!!!!!!! Cut a long story short it cost me nearly £300 in fees to get the money owed! and the cheeky sod even negotiated it down to £650! I was told I wouldn’t have got the legal fees back and that if he didn’t settle out of court then I should have forgotten it and moved on. After my experience id not get involved for only £125, mark it off mate. Good Luck
