  1. Yeah this was always my thought. Had it backfire once or twice when i have done a small job for someone i know and said 'get us a drink mate'. Finished job and they produce a four pack of Carlsberg.....ahhhh
  2. What make is it?
  3. Not heard that before eggs haha
  4. Trouble is mull, you cant lay bricks or tiles in the heavy rain.
  5. Does anyone know what the norm is for builders and roofers on wet days?
  6. Try not to break out in a huge smile when its twice as much as u thought
  7. Haha, yeah they are quite pricey now, though time saving machines save money in the long run.
  8. Yeah, Shliesing fan here too. Difficult to beat em.
  9. Once, twice, three times a lady as i tie a timberhitch
  10. Now you're showing off!!
  11. Mountain and mole hill spring to mind. Sorry but i was not there and maybe its far worse than it sounds. That would have been pretty good signage 20 yrs ago, i'm not saying thats a good thing.
  12. Sorry no queston mark meant
  13. I dont think that matters felix. We have all heard the storys of burglars maiming themselves on a fence and claiming compo from the owner. The world has gone mad!!!
  14. I thought you would carry out your own servicing and maintenance Paul. You will enjoy getting back on the treader, its all to easy to jump in the motor and turn the key.
  15. I am on the flate rate scheme and it works for our company. It is well worth looking into.
  16. Yeah, how about a good hours drive, rock up and clock is ticking over to 11am and groundo asks if we are stopping for a bite to eat and a cuppa. Are you for real. I am glad to say i have not had that for some time, lad i have on currently is a great find, always using his initiative trying to be one step ahead. Hope you and family are well Paul. Hope to catch up soon, probably be an arb show.
  17. :thumbup::thumbup:
  18. Great thread Steve. That oak is splendid, i love trees like that and this country has plenty of them.
  19. Can't help with diagnosing problem, but i would advise that you stop using easy start.
  20. Bang on. It is very rare that people get a real emergency, but when they do then yes try and sort. But inconveniences or minor emergencies, Why should the employer be out of pocket.
  21. My 201tcm has a good amount of power, not quite ms200 but pretty good. Nice work again james.
  22. Yes have read that. The high polards or topping are sometimes referred to as french pollards are they not?
  23. Good vid king. You should use collar cuts when dead wooding too. Could you not find an old bit of rope to makeshift a strop. If that was me, i would have thrown the saw to catch the strop and at last minute realise i've not got one and watch my saw freefall to the deck. Nice work.
  24. How do you know they were ripping off the customer and are you sure they did not inform the council of the work to be carried out. Just because they were not wearing ppe does not mean they dont mind hurting themselves. If you feel this strongly, then maybe you should have gone over and had a chat with them. Maybe there was good reason they were doing this, maybe/probably not, then perhaps you could of educated them. Personaly if i saw this, i would probably tutt to myself and think no more of it, but thats just me. Grassing them up without knowing anything of the situation........hmmm.
