Title: Is 'Bones' still about?
Post by: dotdash on August 05, 2008, 10:45:35 am
Hi everyone, new here, so be gentle with me!!

I stumbled across this forum by accident, and while I was waiting to be accepted as a member, I read some archived posts.  There was one going back to 2003 entitled - I need a push - by a chap called Bones.  He was thinking about packing his job in to do wc full time - encouraged by the posters here he did, and never looked back.

Are you still around Bones?

How's it going?

Ripped you guys off!!  Really?  God, and after all the help and encouragement you guys gave him!!  What did he do, or is it a trade secret - and he's no longer in business - well, I'm shocked, really, his seemed like a real success story as well - well, as we say oop North - 'there's nowt so queer as folk!'

Yes being a old timer myself (the forum that is) (Joined in the Brodex V Ionic wars) I remember mike well, think he was doing a national contract and asked some W/C to cover some areas he couldn’t get to, maybe he didn’t pay up! Not sure! maybe he wasn’t pay I don’t know

Oh, what a kick in the teeth for the guys who helped him!

Wonder what he's doing now?  He was so excited about being self employed back in 03.  Back to the land of wage earner I expect.

The more I read these posts the more impressed I am by the level of professionalism you guys display.  Certainly things have moved on in the last few years, when a ladder, a bucket and a chamois leather was all that was required to start your own business!!

he had a few personal problems at the time as well i think.
I'd heard he had been in contact with someone who he worked for and things were sorta ok. No hard feelings etc.
