".. well it works quite well for me on significantly less than that!! ........... if I told someone I wanted £35 for an hours gardening I'd be sent packing. I'm afraid I'm a bad business like andrew who commented before. A few grasscutting jobs for a…"

"Thanks for that Vic. It's easy to get the wrong end of the stick with online comments, whereas a face to face chat over a pint or a cuppa, is so much easier.  People quite often take me the wrong way online, but in person, I'm always smiling.

"I wouldn’t last long if I were dancing to the tune of ‘professionals’ who ‘work in the city’. It has a touch of hierarchy to me. I wouldn’t be working around coffee mornings or personal trainers either. I have to say, you make them sound awful.
