merseyside

its amazing how much work these guys are getting. they are door knocking the whole area. £50 a drive. all the old ladies are having it done cos they cant clear the snow themselves. they must be making a killing. 30 mins work!!

maybe they nicked the rocksalt from the council??

i know mate its a ball ache getting all round it. but you can get round it in half an hour each way. using the tunnels is a pain tho as the price has gone up.

« **Reply #8 on:** January 05, 2010, 07:43:32 pm »

my mates a landscaper and he said he went round police stations, shops and everywhere with his business cards as he has got a snow plough attachment for his digger.

the police phoned him yesterday to ask him to do the car park and now he has 3 schools to do and a council building car park. he said he wants it to snow again as he is chokker.

think i might get some grit in stock for next year but knowing my luck it wont snow.

there is loads of work out there if you use your loaf.
