    I think the guy needs to find a new job then report the boss to. The DWP

    It's a tough situation as you said because unless he kicks up a stink and spends money he can't do anything about it. I wonder if there are any no win no fee lawyers for this kind of thing.(not that I think they are a good idea re. Car accidents etc)
  3. Richard 1234
    That's good but I was referring to the courts recent ruling that if your employer has a base you get paid from the time you reach it. If you don't report to a base like you didn't. Then you are paid as you were or should be!
  4. Richard 1234
    I think they would get into big bother because of that ruling. Once on company site you are at work regardless of having to drive an hour to do the work. Maybe you could email that link to his boss!!

    I think if you go on the US Stihl website they have exploded diagrams of most things with part numbers

    It's loads of ground to cover as it has to be stem injected I think!

    What he says! If you read the small print they can cause you all sorts of problems if you use a personal account for business. If the mood takes them. Not saying it will happen but it could. For £90 a year I don't think it's worth risking.

    I look for value for money if I have to take stuff to be fixed. (Which is not that often as with a bit of help on here and from other places I can fix most things) but I use a guy who charges £35 an hour plus VAT. Which is cheap I think as he gets me going again within a couple of hours if he has the bits. And if he does not we can normally bodge something or borrow bits from another machine to get it going and sort properly once parts are in. That's more important than the headline rate in£s to me.

    Sent pm with details of spec thanks

    The £2.80 is a set thing I'm selling a mower at the moment and put collection only no postage yet on the listing £2.80 is shown!!
  15. Richard 1234
    If he were to start higher then you could increase more slowly and not loose so many. I lost loads of clients due to having to ramp prices up!
  16. Richard 1234
    I agree with you but he needs to start at a realistic price so that he keeps his customers not loses them as he realises his prices are miles out! Starting too cheap is a hard place to get out of. I know because 8 years ago I did the very same thing. I was charging £12 an hour then and it was not nearly enough looking back!
  17. Richard 1234
    The people using him should be called cheapstakes! If you are only willing to pay £12 an hour to have stuff fixed you get what you deserve!
  18. Richard 1234
    Put the price up its not enough to sustain it👍👍
  19. Richard 1234
    Oh ok.... It's still bonkers though😁😁
  20. Richard 1234
    I've raked it all out and can't see anything like that. But loads of dead moss under the surface that's got me thinking over weed and feed from green thumb. Anyway put some compost and seed in the holes so should be ok now! Thanks all
  21. Richard 1234
    Another good way to spend council tax👎👎
  22. Richard 1234
    Ha ha I can see the thinking though👍👍
  23. Richard 1234
    Pics of wider view. I've ripped it out and compost reseed

    Does it even need to be self propelled ? You can get all sorts for not much money if you go for a push model. Less to break on it too!
  25. Richard 1234
    No it's only about 12M by 8M lawn! He uses an electric roller mower Bosch maybe😁😁 and cuts it a bit short if you ask me but it's not the cause of this I don't think!
