It is amazing what you find in skips these days.     TC

As you say fair play to him, I'm sure if he puts the graft in (whatever he chooses) there will be opportunities to make a few quid... a man and a van is a useful commodity... house/shed clears, rubbis

Well done cushty

Giving the tips away see tryin to help brethren On thl out

. Plus you know it's not for everyone, getting stopped by the old bill all the time, being called a skip rat and told to f**k off on a regular basis, everyone that knows me well, know how I make a living but it's to much effort for most of them, and these days everyone is a mobile phone video grass as well, I get filmed almost weekly by some goody goody with to much time on there hands and usually I,m doing nothing wrong, they just don't like the look of me or my old truck, that's the down sides

A friend of my son has just been paid off and rather being on the dole is going to start up doing something on his own with a small van he wants to buy from me . How hard is it now to start up something with out much qualification as I start up years ago in scrap and bought a old van and went for it before licences and liability insurance etc . I don't want to put a dampener and fair play to the fella idea but don't think it's as easy now is it ?

As you say fair play to him, I'm sure if he puts the graft in (whatever he chooses) there will be opportunities to make a few quid... a man and a van is a useful commodity... house/shed clears, rubbish clearing, gardening, window cleaning, some diy type works (if he can turn his hand), deliveries... or a mixture of all... its getting your head down and finding the opportunities... far too many doom and gloom merchants around, you've just got to be willing to graft and spot an opening.... "it's there for everyone" (as my old man used to tell me)... good luck to the lad.
