One of the benefits of being an older gentleman is being able to insure my Van, car and 4x4 for less than 1k and, yes i have posted this just to annoy the young'ns :RpS_laugh:
 
Im 27 have been driving 9 years. No points. No accidents. 9 years no claims. I pay around 600 for the van I think.
 
A lot of it has to do with your postcode as well and the amount of vehicles of the type you want to insure that have been in accidents in your area the last 12month up to your renewal date!!
I only know this because of the nice lass at Adrian Flux as in Blackburn the BB2 postcode is the worst in the country on average but depends what vehicle you want to insure? Its a transits nightmare!! Lol
Plus I think @cassie is blagging us he's 49!???? :RpS_sneaky: I saw his fighting pic he posted and reckoned to beat up his insurance provider for a good price!!?? :rolleyes)

Yep that sound like couple of scaffolder mates of mine, I always tell the customer on any rendering job of mine. As soon as the scaffold is up just pay them straight away!! Most comment that they'd probably pay even if scaffold wasn't up just to get rid of them lol :RpS_laugh:

Yep... strange people, dont know many that dont do the dusty showbiz or the herbal..lol.. there actually not as rough as they make out nowadays... good spread would splat them all over... the older ones are the tough ones.. and they are the worst arselicking backstabbers in the building trade, well 90% of them anyway... the firm I do bits for are ok, but a week here and there is more than enough for me..lol...

lol.. could tell you some stories mate..OMG...
 
I used to use some lads that were ex foreign legion sound lads but on edge all the time plus damaged a few jobs taking scaffold down which did not go down well with customers :-0
 
I did a job for a ( least say non English national ) and asked her to move her car from the shared drive, needed to scaff the gable.. she wouldnt move it so we scaffolded round the car, they couldnt move it for 2 weeks,,, her husband came home and kicked off ( a bit ) I set the labourer on him..lol... classic..
 
Round our way one of the biggest scaffolding firms is 'Mr scaffold' there vans are all dayglow pink and white.
Its quite a challenge to pull off the 'im a psycho madman' look when you rock up in a pink iveco. :-)
