MR TEA POT 1,287 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Well done lads Do you get many contracts where you can't take the rabbits with you? Quote Link to post
Nick3439 83 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Looking at there website; the taking of rabbits is a subsidised cost for the job; the job is more expensive if they leave the rabbits; so I guess in this example the subsidised quote compared to non-subsidised quote was not as good as the rates the client could get from his game dealer I assume....

Phil Lloyd 10,736 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Over the years,.I have had clients offer me rabbits, in lue of payment for removing them,.."You can keep all the rabbits you catch,.and then you can sell them',.they say.... To which I invariably reply,.'No,.you can keep all the fecking rabbits (and trawl them around the shops/dealers),...I would prefer my wages, please'...!
