    you are spot on mate, i dont really get involved in these sorts or debates but from experience i feel i can offer something in this case! to pay a groundie £80 a day thru the books is ridiculous, in fact dam right insulting! id agree with you, the guy on the ground is the one who probably does work the hardest (tho thats a whole new topic anyway).....bottom line is tree work is bloody hard physical work whether in the tree or on the ground but if your paying your groundie crap money then mentally hes not gonna be on it! you pay someone a decent whack and theyll appreciate it, value it and as a result work harder, its a simple fact and applies to any kind of working role, pay peanuts ect..........theres too many guys out there scrimping to save a tenner here and there on groundies, all it does is make the groundie feel undervalued and ends up in false economy for the guy whos employed him, sure you can eventually mould people to work how you want them to but for crying out loud peeps recognise the job for what is it, its hard work and withjout a groundie whether hes half decent or not you aint gonna command your £400+ a day rate without him, for me theres too many greedy peeps out there, id much rathger pay a groundie £120 a day and a climber towards £200, ive found its a system that works because people feel valued and will go the extra mile for you and you dont spend all your time trying to find people the right people all the time and wondering whos gonna turn up today and what are they gonna be like, its about valuing people and building relationships, not rying to squeeze every last penny you can out of them.......anyway agree with me or not its just my thoughts. have a good day!
