I'll buy it from you. My eejit son and heir keeps threatening to nick mine but I've warned him I'll use it to flatten his goolies if he so much as touches it without my permission.

I'll PM you with an offer......

Is your lad into paving Tony? I didnt think he was for some reason

Is your lad into paving Tony? I didnt think he was for some reason

Yes, when he can be arsed.

He spent a couple or three years working on commercial paving projects up in Scotland and was running his own gangs for a while, but, like his mother, he tends to fecklessness, and only works when he really has to.

It's bloody annoying because, when he *can* be arsed, he produces really good quality work.

He's back in Lankysheer now and trying to establish himself as a self-employed contractor but struggles to win work because his severe dyslexia means he can't produce a written presentation or professional looking estimate. I keep telling him he'd be better off subbying to someone else and just focussing on the installation - let someone else (not me!!!) look after the paperwork side of things - but in the time-honoured tradition, who ever listens to their owld feller until it's too late?

its the way of things gaffer
myself and my dad (tony and tony) and you and yours, both have/had exactly the same communication issues
father and sons generally work well when one is dominant and one is submissive
and real life aint like that

How old is he Tony? Do you not fancy running the pricing side of things?

I can be feckless!

[Tony McC]

Just turned 29 (FFS!!!) last week.

I had more than my fill of running a contracting business before I was injured. Never again. Ever!

I have a reasonably good life now, and much less stress, which is what both my cardiac consultant and my ladyfriend want for me.

Doing the works easy it's the paperwork vat returns cis payments client liaisons and getting paid that's hard, at the legals with a non paying client now not fun.

Amusing thread lol

Someone wanna tell me what's so good about this thing. Why is it any better than my £15 persuader?

[lutonlagerlout]

I feel the same way FB I have a maul that i never use
£2 rubber mallet from wickes has laid thousands of flags and slabs and still going strong (although looking a little jaded) like me!)
