Did a training session for a scorp saw, to cut ensign and timesaver pipes. Need level ground :laugh: The blade on it was'nt for cast pipes. The guy said 'they cost £300 per blade'. That was the end of that demonstration.

Well shows how much i know about bp! i knew it werent as good as Mick g's but i didnt think it werent too bad just needed some fine tuning.
Ill freely admit that im not in the same leauge by any stretch of the imagination as Mick at block paving, but i like to think im pretty good and meticulous when it comes to other areas of groundwork eg flagging.
I also think like anything in life things are available in varying degrees of quality - relative to price, one end of the spectrum are the pikeys and chancers at the other mick, cookie, setts, tony etc etc bit like comparing a ford modeo to a bmw.
Everyone would prefer a driveway that looks amazing done by lads at the top of their game but few people can afford it, therfore they have to use lesser skilled people still do a half decent job except for the fine details, nothing wrong with that IMO. people arent going to walk past the drive in question and say in astonshiment "jesus christ who did that mess" are they? its only the pros that notice the finer points.
I totally agree with the remarks about keeping the site tidy and h&s i find company image and first impressions count for alot in this game.
I still have a lot to learn when it comes to BP havent realy done that much and try and steer clear of it, maybe i have missed the the point of what some of you have said but IMO the drive isnt that bad just not as good as others that feature on this site!!
Just my input, ill await the wrath of the brew cabin :p
