A lovely Turkish Hazel I spotted in the Oslo Botanical Gardens today.

Might have to to pop over to my local estate buddy and see if he has anything. Delivery from Scotland might kill it though.
-
Never sold or bought a car then?
-
Then you’d be wrong.

Tell him it’s now £600, but you’ll drop it to £550 as a gesture of goodwill. [emoji16]

I’m feeling left out. Which ironically seems to be the basis of the me too movement
-
Add me to the list too please. 🤣 You’ve become increasing obnoxious of late and have what seems like a very high opinion of your wokery new line of employment.
-
An hours drive up to have a look and quite and an hour back again. That’s half a day busted. Not gonna get much else done that day. Then another day to do the job and if there is any complications, ie the window gets damaged it’s on the builder to make right. So I guess you could call that two days and £300 a day. You can put your panties back on now. 😁
-
He’d not bother unless he was making £5-600 profit. He has as much work as he wants making at least that a day.
-
They do say it’s grim up north. That's a wage you can exist on. It’s not living.
-
Good luck 🤣 I guess you’ll be waiting till the next oil crash before you see someone quote you the figures you’re demanding. On the other hand I can get you as much references as you like for my brother. Backed up with pictures.😉 Pay peanuts, get monkeys. Why risk it? The fact you think you are determining rates explains why you’re still waiting.

Cheap as Chips 😁

AKA Whataboutism .

Does not surprise me in the slightest he holds such horrifying views, he is everything thats wrong with the western world today personified.

Unless they are all wearing Longsdale Trackies, Crocks and a Tee-shirt splattered like a painters coverall then it won’t be authentic.

Think that was Rig 45? This is the new one.
-
Not heard of the new Amazon series coming out soon? Called The Rig or something like that. Based in the North Sea.
-
Don’t tell anyone! He does not need more competition. 🤣
-
It’s maybe just oil town Aberdeen? I know Window Cleaners (no not that one) who travel an hour or so each way to clean up there as the rates are so good. He’s booked up for 3 months. Puts in silly quotes if he does not fancy the job and generally still gets them. That’s why I was helping out yesterday. £600 each in the hipper and we where only there 7 hours including two breaks and lunch, all customer provided. 😁
-
He works part time just now. Does a week or so and then a week working on his own house. New porch going in, extension out the back next summer, new windows and doors. All cash. Nothing owed on the Pick-up or the wife’s car. I expect once he’s paid for all the work on the house he’ll get the mortgage paid off.
-
You’re quite correct. That’s why he’s not interested. But up in Scotland with a £400 a month mortgage and total bills of less than £1000 it’s a nice living.

I have no idea what you're talking about! I would like to inform you all that my new Boots and Stihl Post Hole Auger worked perfectly My Brother has some chainsaw tickets and was at Collage whilst serving his time with a local Estate before moving to London to get into the building trade, he worked his way up the ladder in the company he worked for and was even offered to become a member of the board of directors. Its a multi-million pound company with public and private sectors. But he was sick of London and wanted to come back to Scotland to raise his children. To get established up here he's taking on whats essentially odd-jobs to keep a roof over his head but its doing fantastically well for him. Inundated with requests and cherry picks the best. It certainly makes me wonder why I bother slogging my guts out Milling for £400 a day. Anyway, Im off to clean some windows in my new wellies.
-
Sounds about right! My brother was on £250 a day managing the public sector arm of a Building Firm in London. He’s just been asked back for £450 a day. He obviously told them to poke it as he’s making more up in Scotland with a £400 a month mortgage and not a £1500 a month rent bill.

Did a job with my brother today. Few jobs around a garden. Took some limbs down, dug 6 holes for trees. Set a couple of clothes lines in cement, lowered a coupe of drains and poured a wee 1m x 2m cement pad. £600 profit each for 7 hours work. Why folk bust their balls for a wage they can just exist on I have no idea. My brothers not made less than £600 profit a day odd-jobbing this year.
