He got his first couple of sales yesterday, spent all weekedn splitting and putting in seperate store to my lot (I've been told hands off!! lol). He's 16 and wants a motor bike on the road for a bit of freedom, I'm dead against it but hey ho you can't wrap them in cotton wool and he's grafting to earn to buy it.... Just a different post from covid or immigrants! lol Superb,..so inspiring and good to see... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure what a wood grenade is? Whatever you do in life work ethic gets you a long way, the digital, computer game shit is unfortunately part of todays world, there aint a kid in his school who doesn't play on them mate.. but it's got to be managed. His mates are all at something though, the lad up the road drives his dad defender pulling a trailer with his gardening fit on it along the top road and does a little gardening round, he's 15 and reversing a trailer like a 60 year old farmer lol.... I love it... Another lad, lives in Crediton (about 15 mins from us where Fin goes school) he gets some money off his parents evey year and buys calves, his Grandmother has a small plot (about 15 acres I think) and he brings these cows on, after school and weekends, his parents aren't farmers he does it himself, has for a few years... acoording to Fin he's got a fair few quid in the bank and brought his first car already... just turned 16.... they come round here, good lads and I think have those types around him is good as well... we're only 3 miles out of Exeter but it's like a different world to the city School my eldest went, selling weed was the main stream of income for the kids there! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
