Sign of the times i recon
with all the building going on in china/Saudi has pushed up the scrap value of all metals
Every job i go to were i am removing the old "Crittle" windows, i always put on at the front of the Customers drive.
Sure enough, Joe Gippo will turn up and offer a "good price" and to be honest i am glad as it saves me having to load it all up and take it away myself
Just finished a Job on a School in Enfield were i was changing huge windows. Ol Joe Gippo must have thought all his Christmases at come at once as we let him on site to take away all the 24 2.5 metre windows away for free as long as he swept the playground around were we were working and did not ask us to help him load up
Another bunch turned up one day and asked if they could take the scaffolding away that was erected around the Chimney and "weigh it in" because they said they had been watching it and it had been there for two weeks so it must be scrap as no one was working on the chimney
Its there lingo that gets me
"ear brov, i dooz roofin, can i set that poles in me van"
and
"you want that bruv, iv giv you a good price for it"
