    What would you do in this situation?

    Its forever in the news. Old lady beaten up in busy town center.. girl raped on back of a bus dies. If every single person stood up instantly and turned on the criminal, alot of crime would be avoided as they wouldnt dare do it. The thing that has stuck in my mind is, if it happened to him im...

    What would you do in this situation?

    Well, I went round to next door but one and told them about what i saw as it was their mothers car. They need a new bumper and fog light and he hasn't owned up. I made it clear I would rather not have my name mentioned but if needed I stand by what I saw. I would like somebody to do it for me...

    Yes i thought about doing it anon. But if he found out i cant be bothered with the hassle as its on my street. I dont suppose he can argue but its a terrible thing to do. Very cowardly. Sent from my GT-P5110 using Tapatalk 2

    Last night someone who lives further down the road bumped into a car parked on the opposite side of the road from his house. He looked like he was swinging left before turning right into his drive but he basically turned into the parked car. He has damaged the bumper and his own car as he left...

    help with pricing

    If its a income now, not a cash job on a weekend for beer money then look at labour as your wage. How much you want per week can only come from what you charge per hour . If its too little and you're not happy you will get disheartened and probably give up and go get a normal job. I'm not saying...

    help with pricing

    Hi I look at it this way.There are things which cost you money that you have to buy that are not materials, van ins, diesel, public liability, tools, etc. Tot these costs up as best you can for a yearly figure. Say it comes to 2000 pounds and you work for 12.50 per hour. On a 40 hr week 49 wks...
