We see them everywhere; the man and a van or truck and the dreaded chain saw; knocking at our doors and telling us; not asking us, your tree needs cutting down and I can do it today;
how about I give you a good price £280, too dear I said, OK then how about £180, No I said again too dear, well then how about £120, No still too expensive; by this time the tree man gets hot around the collar....hs mate still sitting in the van.
No one can beat that price; Hard luck mate I said to him from a distance; you never know what they will do in a temper; we engaged a qualified tree surgeon only three months ago and he and his colleague cut down nine 30 foot conifers and disposed of them left the site clean and charged £50 a tree......can't be done, he said,
I said it can be done; did it and was very pleased with it and he was happy with his price; no bargaining. The Tree man then turned around and got in his truck as his mate turned to me as if to say; Here we go again.
I said.....Have a nice day and they tore down the road like a chased rabbit; no doubt in a temper; I must have made his day; I certainly enjoyed the experience and unloaded the shotgun in the garage; until the next time they appear.
Happy Days and keep your wits about you.
