No I didn't but the point I was making is you will never please everyone
-
You can please some of the people all of the time, some of the people some of the time and all of the people none of the time
-
Are you sure it was even working? I only say that as I cut through a phone line in a pyracantha had a panic about it and it turned out that it was not even connected anymore. Might be wishful thinking
-
That surprises me that they don't last longer, how much does each new band set you back?
-
Buy which ever you will use most straight away
-
Fair point it's just not black and white as to who is to blame, the banks need to take some responsibility but so do the people signing on the dotted line.
-
I did not miss it. My point was no one was forced into anything. It's no good blaming the banks when you take a £150k mortgage while working at McDonald's flipping burgers
-
All true but no one forced these people to take out massive mortgages
-
In this country at least the opportunity is there for all, people who claim it's not are just wrong, it may take the poor longer and have to work harder than those lucky enough to be born into a rich family but it is still there. I get nothing from the government in benefits as in cash handouts, but obviously the nhs etc. Work should pay not sitting on your backside! Zero hours and the like are wrong, but to cure that you need the population at large to be happy to pay more for everything. Increasing the minimum wage would simply cause inflation to pay for itself.
-
They should have to pay their fair share without doubt! What's a fair wage in your opinion? Because I have been looking at the charts various people have put links up for and I can't work out where people draw the line?
-
Where have you got the figures from?

I see your point but in lincoln anyway the guys that clear it up work for the council full time anyway so they are being paid anyway -
8hours @£15

When it's said as 120 for the day it sounds better! But even then I suppose it depends on overheads other than a saw and fuel. Also it's no good if it's just an hour or 2 unless you can fill the day elsewhere.
-
That seems really cheap to me I charge more than that for cutting grass! Is £15 an hour the going rate for chain sawing ?
-
Hi a question if anyone can help? I have an old lawnmower with a 23hp Kohler twin engine in it. I'm starting to have problems with it running rich. And I can't seem to set carb right. Waiting on a new air filter for it. Anyone got any ideas as to the cause? I have not yet taken the carb apart? Many thanks Richard. Oh the mower was not used last season so it's been sat for over a year
-
Looking good
-
How about just getting on with your life (I mean everyone when I say that) because in reality whoever gets in wont make a deal of difference in practice it will be same **** different government. I will vote but after that I won't pay much attention because they are all as bad as each other
-
I agree with you about the collecting it's mad. I use a triple gang for the big stuff so can't collect with it anyway but regular cutting and you can barely see the cuttings
-
I aim for £30 per hour(or more if I can) for all grass cutting. Does not matter which machine as the biggest is 7ft cut and will easily do the big stuff and the smallest for tiny gardens etc. don't sell yourself short and three weekly is madness with your own kit.
-
I think they should put prices inc vat as then those who are vat registered get to knock 20% off and those who aren't don't have to find another 20%
-
That 6 acres only has engine running for 2 1/2 hours a week though so it's not overworked to say the least!! Mower has 7 foot cut on it
-
I have a big toro mower with a 23hp Kohler in it. It's 33 years old and still cuts 6acres a week with no complaints. Just keep fresh oil and filters and plugs and it should be fine.
-
Thing I didn't like was the pop ups on screen that you can't get rid of( on iPad at least the online chat 1)
-
You must be under 20 to be on that low wage. Your boss should be paying for your ppe etc. maybe try not taking your kit to work, sounds like your boss wants to have his cake and eat it! Your still young yet though it will get better with time and experience good luck
