  1. I was less happy, thought I'd got my first ever fungi ident!
  2. Ha ha! It's not that sunny at the moment.
  3. 'Top dog' - the meaning and origin of this phrase Moot point it seems.
  4. Hmmm, certain about that? I know the phrase "the pits" come from the same work scenario.
  5. One of them is designed to do that though!
  6. Katie Hopkins on the London terror attack | Daily Mail Online KH seems to have an eye on the online US audience with this piece of trash. Even Piers Morgan rubbished it.
  7. You'd please that fungi? Takes all sorts I suppose, bit of lipstick on it, give me a couple of drinks, who knows?
  8. What's the difference between lift capacity and tip over?
  9. Well I did not know that Ironbark! Good piece of useless knowledge.
  10. Stephan, you posted an advertising video. Dave gave his comment (as did I) To clarify, I think it's a tacky waste of money, I would not put my company name to stuff like that. That doesn't make me or anyone gay.
  11. There is plenty of time to discuss that, afaik no group has claimed responsibility, If and when they do I'm sure the BBC will report it. ATM it's just the facts. As it should be.
  12. I cannot think of numbers after I've completed an underpriced job, it will only make me more bitter and angry with myself. I just try to remember the feeling when pricing something similar.
  13. I think you've pressed or filled the circle that says "collect in person" (bottom left)
  14. It's a tree related incident though Kevin, which is why Stuart posted it.
  15. You're right and you're wrong! The problem with starting at a low rate is that the clients you get will always want to pay that rate and will leave if you up it significantly. It is hard starting out, you will underprice things, just try to keep it to a minimum. Otherwise you're just a busy fool.
  16. Yes, forget Yellow Pages, local paper, flyers, parish mags, even postcards in newsagents windows and get the newsagent to deliver your flyers with the papers, costs buttons.
  17. Ahhh, time for bed I think then, night all.
  18. :001_smile:Behave Kevin! I wasn't being flippant, just giving a competitive price if it was near me, 2 or 1 is much of a muchness, once you're there it doesn't make much difference. One 3.5 tonner of chip, one of logs, it's not technical, it's just logistics.
  19. There's no right answer, it's easy from an armchair.
