Tilers: Why Not Say Good Morning Before Work?

[LM]

What I don't get tho is why they haven't perfected the pull along tool box!
Having to lift one end clear of the floor is a pain in the backside to start with,
they're still bloody heavy.
The handles are never quite long enough and you catch your heels on them when you walk.
And why oh why don't they have stair climbing wheels?????
It's not as if they're some great invention waiting to happen!
Yes I'm already sweating my *** off and it's only the 2nd stage of my journey.
I've still to negotiate Waterloo station and get on to the Jubilee Line to Bomd St.

Bloody days work to get there Marc

Morning all

 

[Old Mod]

Bloody days work to get there Marc

Haha you know that mate!

 

[Old Mod]

......and just to brighten your day.....
Stepped off train at Waterloo (bloody high step!)
As the box hit the floor....... It stayed there and I was left with just holding the handle! Hahaha
Fixed now!

Marc,
why not purchase a gun?

 

[WetSaw]

You don't need to buy a gun just because you're working in London!!

 

[Andy Allen]

Buy a bloody van and drive there !!
Tight arse...lol

Gun??

Errrr...yeh
If I couldn't park outside someone's house I wouldn't be doing the job !!
But having said that I'm surrounded by field and tractors....proper country bumpkin...

 

[Italy]

Gun??

yes, gun.
Here, when someone is doing a shitty job,
It says, buy a gun and the bullet I gift.
so I shoot you.

Ok so, I'm sure you've heard all this before, but I'll mention it anyway.
So where I'm working right now for instance,
No road, pedestrian area only.
Congestion charge £11 a day.
Parking, not 100% sure of the rates there but I can't believe it's less than £4.40 an hour, it's that in residential areas.
That close to Oxford st and Bond St, it's got to be more.
So how much so far?
9 X £4.40 ..... £39.60
Congestion £11. 00
So we're at £51.60 plus fuel, probably around £7-8.00 sat in traffic for a couple hours. Minimum 3hrs travelling there and back from South West London.
So we're at £60 give or take a few pence.
Multiply that by 5 days, we get £300.00 a week, give or take!
Up against the cost of a travel card for seven days, (which allows you unlimited travel throughout London. Buses, trains, tube and DLR)
And that costs £47 for me, to cover zones 1-4
So tight arse? No I don't think so, haha

 

[Andy Allen]

So why don't you drive there when it's quite...say in the evening or Sunday off load your kit, 30 mins Maxs, then take the choo choo train for the rest of the week?

 

[Andy Allen]

BTW.....I'm giving this advice for free..

Last time, I did so

 

[Old Mod]

Yeah quite difficult to get commercial property opened at our request on a Sunday haha
But if that sort of thing is possible, sometimes I do. Depends if I wanna give up my time at home.

 

[Old Mod]

BTW.....I'm giving this advice for free..

Phew! That's a relief!

 

[Andy Allen]

Phew! That's a relief!

Don't mention it...

 

[Old Mod]

And thank you Andy, in the time that that conversation took, I'm now home!

 

[Andy Allen]

I'm just trying to visualise you on a train dragging a trolley full of tools...lol
Think we need pic's......
