    I never go back, people over the years have done the same sort of thing to me, saying they are getting someone cheaper or a family member is going to do it. Then you get a call some time later saying can you come back. They don't care about you so you shouldn't give crap about them. Unless you are desperate for work that is. But at this time of year you shouldn't be scratching for work, unless weather conditions like drought are affecting you. I wouldn't even reply to these clowns

    I never go back under those circumstances. I've got 2 customers that I've returned to only because 1 moved and rented their house out but then returned a year later so resumed mowing with a price increase. The other had her daughter and son in law move in whilst they saved for a new house. I was mowing for her daughter as well so as soon as they moved back out I resumed mowing. Other than the break whilst circumstances had changed they are good regular clients, otherwise I would not waste my time.

    It's times like this that being 175cm tall makes me happier.

    True. There would be nothing worse than self propelled nuts.
