I always used to laugh at the government adds, the ones with a target zooming in on benefit cheats and cash workers etc,WE ARE WATCHING YOU!!
I used to think,”mmm!! Really? Well stop watching ,and catch em then!😂🤣”. I mean as if ,youd warn someone !! you were closing in”
These government pricks will waste what a hardworking man would earn in a week , on qauils eggs and truffles ,champagne etc for brekky , i think everyone should go hungry for a week in their life ,and that is more a useful life lesson than any university!!

well said glowbug, I think whoever invented the minimum wage should go on it for life, Then he would know why people need the 'cash jobs', I'm in the lucky group, When i left skool in 1968, I could pick any working job, mining,factory,engineering,transport,office,manufacture,steel and lots more, anyone who wanted to work could chooce, and the wages were fair, you'd get enough to live on plus a bit more to save for the luxuries, Nowadays the min rate will not keep a family, Both parents need to work and still claim benefit because they do not have enough to live on, The £7 they get per hour now, the twat that made that figure will spent that on a coffee break,

I don’t want to be a ‘know it all’, but the saying ‘cash is King’ is not a reference to ‘cash in hand’. It means, not giving credit - financing your business by cash revenue, like shops etc.
My advice to anyone is; for larger jobs always get a deposit, this will finance the project; buy materials - bathroom suite, boiler, radiator etc etc. Then balance on the job completion.
You can’t get out of Tesco without paying!! If the Bread is stale, you take it home open it up, see the mouldy bits & take it back.
if the punters don’t like your conditions, then walk. I know a Kitchen Fitter he takes 95% up front!!

denfonatly good sound advice from Dick there, If they are genuine customers who intend paying, they will give a deposit, I usually ask for payment of materials as they come on site, Its only the people who object to this who you need to worry about, and as our learned friend from the North advises, walk, |

Very true mr puller and tom, i always bow to experience, especially good expert experience, if youtube had been out 20 years ago, with your tips, i wouldnt have made more money, but would have been home a lot earlier and less stressed!!!
I asked a client once for a £500 deposit, they looked aghast and said they dont know me from adam, and i could run off with the dosh!
I replied very true, however it shows trust on both sides, and wouldnt cover all materials anyway, they paid it ,when they realised trust works both ways, If they didnt ,i wouldnt have ordered boiler , shook hands and moved on,
Ps any whisky fans , get to aldi, they doing a 26 year old irish whisky for £39.99, rumours in whisky world is its bushmills malt, ( a bushmills malt that only 21 years old costs£150.00)
And a glen roth scots malt 29 years old same price, its bloody gorgeous as i got some in for xmas, my mistake im a month out and cracked it open already👻

The Irish can’t produce a decent Whisky, only Scottish Whisky is the genuine article;
When we sit wined and finely dined,
Dressed up in oor best, braw and fancy,
Oh, it’s a far cry tonight, in this company bright,
From the rude and hoorin howff o Poosie Nancy.
Friends, we hae a history:
Rough stuff. ‘Rascally Kilbagie’
Mair fiery by faur than ‘lost Ferintosh’ and fit,
fit for but ‘the most rascally part’,
fit for but the bard’s Jolly Beggars,
fit only for ‘rectifying’ into Hollands gin
-- in the back lanes of London,
Mother’s Ruin.
Sing, drunk for a penny,
Blin fou for tuppence, quaff
An ye shall hae straw for free
When you maun sleep it aff.
ii.
Two hundred and fifty years…
How many thousand bottlings
to the honeyed finish,
aromas of lavender, sherry-cask or gorse;
essences and esters of salt, pine, nutmeg, smoke;
tinctures of topaz, amber, mahogany,
palest straw, purest gold, liquid?
Liquors, elixirs, infused with -- is that a
hint of anise, even liquorice?
Toddies tea-coloured, smooth and soothing --
can you taste tobacco, heather-nectar, rain or moorland,
smell the sea?
How many thousand bottlings, angels’ shares,
new market leaders in the field,
till today’s best blends and the triple-distilled?
iii.
Ask MacDiarmid, ask Ettrick Hogg --
Wha took his whisky ‘by the joug’ --
Ask Rab himsel, an he will tell you whether --
-- Language made essence, thought distilled --
Inspiration’s whit a dram might yield
If poetry an whisky gang thegither?
Consider. Answer. Aye, right well thegither.
Though – taken by the jug-fu – either yin’s reduced to blether.
iv.
And friendship an whisky surely gang thegither?
It’s the aqua vitae we imbibe wi yin another.
A hip-flask in the cauld, uncorked, a shared swig,
A deal sealed wi a word and a dram,
Och, see us a splash of water from thon china jug,
Gie us drappie in my coffee mug,
There’s aye a drouth for true companionship, until at last
The luggit cup o the quaich is passed.
Sweetness sipped from a chinked glass, cheers!
Savour friendship.
Its flavour will mature for years.
v.
And – if freedom an whisky gang thegither –
How do you like your freedom? Swallowed neat?
Distillations of history, language, weather
In an usqueba o barley, burn water, peat.

I don't think any true Scottish man would wash his dick with jap coloured water, cos thats all it is, If its not made in Scotland, its not Scotch, and if its not Scotch, its not Whiskey, and i've put the 'E' in whiskey to Wind Dick up,  |
