davyboy Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Poppins is likely to faint when she reads this, ask them to have a butchers at their tackle. Old mucky power tools, no wheel barrow, no ladders etc; forget them. My guy has brand new stuff and even has a green bag bin, so that he can throw the stuff in. He cuts a 60 foot long x 7 feet high conifer hedge for £30.00 (3 hours work). The minimum wage guys generally want to use your tools and take ages doing a crap job. There again she might get lucky and get the job for free.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad.Malky Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 There again she might get lucky and get the job for free.. The minimum wage ought to be £10 an hour but I suppose that’s one for another thread. Before anyone says it I know its not feasible …….. but can a young bloke pay rent / mortgage and look after a family on less than £400 a week minus stoppages …….. no wonder there is a need for “fiddle” jobs.

Treatment Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Thai, since you are unwell, perhaps contact the probation agency. They send chaps out on ''unpaid work'' to do gardens etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treatment Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Is that a euphemism? No, it is a sentence; not the type being a collection of words. It is, however, a Euphemism for Coolie Labour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
