Clive  i tell em it might need re pointing when I've finished,

 the p/w won't do any harm so any problem will have already existed...... its just more noticeable I just make sure they know it was already damaged and  I have not done it so are not responsible for repointing

but its never been a problem

did a job today for a multi-millionaire who started out at 15 collecting bones & fat from butchers to make pig food. he now has a company employing 100s who collect wastes, extract oils and dries the remains and sells it as fuel pellets.

we had a talk about his success  he said it all boiled down to 2 things. all through his working life  he look at the equipment he owned and asked him self...... what else can I use this equipment for?  and secondly he always thought if I'm driving all the way to a factory to collect something I might as well try and get some thing else while I'm there... he tried to get the maximum amount of revenue from every customer.

he told me some other stuff as well, i felt like not charging, him he was a really straight talking bloke

We have a rendering plant on the outskirts of our town, can pong a bit sometimes,
a friend drives a tanker with 20000lts of rendered oil in it, they call it black gold, the load is worth about25k and goes into cosmetics, and places like Nestle where it is sprayed onto pet food.
The owner has 4 other plants throughout the country, so maybe the same guy, he is nice bloke too, lent my mate his Bentley for a day, also has a jet and a helicopter.

Good business really, take in waste for free and sell it for a fortune
