    Milwaukee without a doubt(had makita and boshe blue b4) I have the 12v and 18v and the 12v gets used most of the time, the only jonb the 18v is essential for is puting up metal studwork.

    I have the Milwaukee M18 impact wrench and it has managed comfortably up to 22mm wheel nuts, pretty sure it has one of the highest torque levels in its class if you believe Milwaukee, If you have to buy I would buy 2nd hand as you should be able to pick one up for under £200 with 2 batteries as opposed to £500 ish new

    Soon after you buy it will seem small, so as long as you are satisfied with the pic quality buy biggest assuming you have the space.not sure if you can get rj45 connection without being smart-are there any non smart tvs available nowadays anyway?, so I would go with smart so you can run kodi on your pc with no extra cost for addon boxes etc

    Junkyard I wish you could travel back in time and change MY experience of the police I engaged with….. I’m sure there are lots of honest, by the book, non dictatorial,public serving police just I don’t seem to have met any that meet that criteria and a number of times I have tried to get the police to deal with crimes and again and again IME they didn’t seem to GAS

    I think it must be part of the recruitment process but all police I have engaged with at various levels are serious control freaks with zero people skills and I’m sure if they routinely carries guns ala US then I am sure we would see the same levels or higher of unnecessary shootings, like shooting people in the back and shooting nonthreatening and unarmed people… oh hang on thats also happened here…People on here may well have a different experience of their village bobby but those of us that live in large cities and aren’t white probably have a different view.

    Me – I’ll be looking for a service hosted in a country with a strong privacy record that citizens of that country hold in high regard, preferably European

    not sure if that means anything if they are one of the 14 eyes states which probably means sharing your data supercedes any privacy IMO.
    Personally if I am going to PAY to use a VPN I would prefer it to be watertight and not be half arsed otherwise whats the point IMO?

    IP vanish and PIA are based in the states which is not something I would want, as has been said before it has to be a non 14 eyes country where the operator is based.Have a look at Nordvpn based Panama,6 devices,vpn, double vpn, vpn over tor, I`ve had good service from them for the past few years. I personally would be a little skeptical of a lifetime sub for $20..you pay peanuts…

    what about health and safety issues–if an incident occurs–and people are injured by another party —according to your terms they are at the mercy of the market– not worth endangering your main job ?

    we have all the relevant insurances required by law to protect all consultants

    make hay while the sun shines is my motto, if it stops shining, change your business to service another growth area.
    However the sheer scale of global organisations based in the UK looking to occupy new real estate is astounding

    Thanks for your comments, we will be addressing the errors shortly, basically we have been so busy fulfilling contracts that we didn’t have chance to proofread 100%, there are also a couple of duplicate pages, we are about to change the look completely and re brand the logo etc so all should be fixed.

    From http://www.mibsolutions.co.uk/
    Which is why use highly qualified engineers to undertake the work.

    taken in context this refers to server engineers who are all Cisco and MS qualified and have help desk jobs as their day jobs.

    Its not rocket science by any means really simple stuff that anyone with an ounce of intelligence could do…

    refers to fitters/porters who can be trained quickly to perform the tasks they need to do.
    thanks for all the pm’s :mrgreen:

    finding quality employers is even harder– in fact while people think that casual self employment is the answer, then its a race to the bottom….

    I am running a business, the success of the company is paramount and those who work with us will make plenty of money as a result of our current and forthcoming success.
    People have a choice and its hardly a race to the bottom, I would say the opposite for those involved with my operation

    Also, good people beget good people, in other jobs I;ve seen good, enthusiastic, capable people get beaten down by the people they worked with, and turned into crap, miserable people like their colleagues. But it works both ways, a good team and a good workplace can lift people too

    I am finding this too, and its really true that one negative person can bring the whole teams motivation and productivity down.

    At least if someone is bad we just don’t use them again, I would hate to be an employer and have to jump through hoops to try and motivate someone who didn’t want to work well.I know this sounds mercenary but we are judged on how well we do contracts thus if we mess up we lose the contract and no one gets more work from that company, so it has to be this way.

    We have the foundations of a really good group of guys and as a result we will all enjoy the fruits of our labour, which will soon involve company trips away etc

    Well you said between £60 and £140 a day, no? Not sure why you’re comparing it to £900. If it’s the furniture removal stuff you’re after, how do your wages compare to a labourer for example? Any mates in the building trade who could find a few hands for you?

    Have you considered that your limited free advertising and word of mouth may be self-selecting a lower level of candidate?

    First the rates are between £80 and £150 per SHIFT, a shift on paper is as little as 6 hours and in practice may only be 4 hours or less due to team working well together rather than spending most of the time gassing or updating Facebook.
    I am not comparing it with £900 per day roles which require considerably more experience and qualifications please read what what said.
    I give people a chance based on 1st impressions/recommendations, I will continue doing that as I feel that attitude(or apparent attitude)
    is the most important to me, if they let me down so be it at least they had a chance.

    I suppose there are just too many thick people out there lol
    Yet smart enough to get past your selection process ? lol

    If people say to me that they can do they job I give them the chance-is that so bad? 🙄

    Depends on how much you want some income. According to the usual suspects on here there are no jobs out there so surprising people aren’t biting the OP’s arm off.

    I think most people prefer to be sat on their asses, getting their giro every few weeks 😆

    I wouldn’t say those were great rates of pay for weekend self employment, but I’d expect you to get some interest still. How are you advertising? Do you get people for interview who then decline the work?

    Well I worked for these rates of pay for a while and thought they were ok for additional income whist living in London, perhaps we have too many IT consultants on here who don’t get out of bed for less than £900 per day 🙄
    I do get some interest from the limited free advertising I used plus word of mouth, but kind of going back to my original point for £100+ plus per day of basically unskilled labour the level of person we are getting is really bad considering the supposed state of the economy and what I believe to be decent money.
    Most people who contract for me do at least 5 shifts per week so its hardly minimum wage and they are getting regular work plus the better they are the better the company does the more contracts we get the more shifts people get and thus everyone is happy

    actually £80-£150 and most times we finish early so the rates work out better, our guys make lots of money in addition to whatever else they do, of course i would expect people to prioritise based on rates I.E. if they can get £25/hour elsewhere then do it otherwise if they have free time why not earn some semi decent money in addition, thats my view anyway

    how much are you paying – if it’s not significantly above what people can get in benefits why should they bother working?
    This is a ridiculous argument for not working, and partly whats wrong with this country. Why should i go to work to pay for them to sit on their arses? We may as well all sit at home twiddling our thumbs and waiting for the dole to come through.

    A lot of the guys are trades people or have full time roles a degree of flexibility is good but we try and accommodate as the main thing is that the contract is completed with no issues on time or ahead of schedule. There are some that seem to be happy for this to be their only work, not sure why its just the way they are.

    I wouldn’t want to work for you. HTH.

    mmm enlighten me

    Ideally you have a job already, this is extra money on top, not sure what’s not to like really but each to their own 🙂

    No I’m certainly not an employer and would never want to be, I do give lots of work to my consultants though.

    As 95% of our contracts are evenings and weekends, so all of my guys have full time jobs as well like me, so for all of us this an extra income that we all enjoy, we work really hard and play hard and enjoy the rewards, so stability isn’t an issue
