Never turn work down.
Price it to make it worth your while.
Turn up really early so there's no (or little) traffic.
Stick a high vis on, put a couple of cones out.
Bosh. $ in your hand.

Do it early enough & there won't be any traffic-commercial so it'll be empty.
Charge top top dollar cause no-one else will do it.
Put cones out-no one argues with cones.

Yeah, solicitors ain't short of a few quid are they?!
£50 a month. Every month. If they say no-who cares. If they come back in a few months cause they can't get them done make it £60.
Jobs you don't really want, really have to be worth your whole doing them.

I wouldn't want to work off a ladder in the road, at any time.
You'd have to close the road for me, Bobby.

;D ;D ;D thats not as crazy as it sounds. i was thinkin that if we blocked the street one of my workers  could hold up a big bit of card saying "5 minutes"  then a minute later hold one up saying "4 minutes" etc etc      this might stop drivers getting angry on me
