I get paid and rock up but…

Or maybe I’m getting old and parts no longer work like they used to.

maybe I need to change my moniker to Gramps

@ Mutley, I bet yours does not sound like a 2 stroke at wide open throttle though ?

I wasn’t having a go at you, Danman. I have pretty much never had a paid job is all.

What is this ‘worked’?

*chuckle*

2 pulls and it starts.

I keep getting emails about some pills that can help you with that.

Seriously though that Mugga Lane Antique store is a bit of a rort – coupla hundred dollars for some wrought iron work that was salvaged from a tip.
In saying so, last weekend I bargained at mitchell aussie junk(I just droppe off a 52cm telly and some curtain rods)

There was what looked to be a brand spanking new mower and catcher on the dock – they wanted 45 – I said 30 he said 40 i said 30 he said 35 and stood firm.
I stated that I would no tbuy it for that much as I had just dropped off a perfectly good huge telly and walked.

Thats when they backed down and gave it to me for 30..

Got it home, it needed new blades (Stolen from old mower), new head gasket (Permatek forma-gasket and razor blades) and new magneto (Stolen from old mower as well) – just got it stared this morning after 2 weekends – 2 pulls and it starts.

That place is good for bargains if you’re quick.

I have paid a total of $45 andseveral man hours and gotten a ryobi line trimmer and victa mower….both now working….and paid next to nothing for spares (If no donor available )

Big thumbs up for me….but unscrupulous selling of wares on eBay…thats just tight arsed.

I remember when i worked out at the tips and i always thought that you guys were dodgy. Overcharging and reselling on ebay and not properly declaring your earnings. It was all in a days work to notice what you guys were up to.

like dead man jogging you mean i could be wrong butt i think that if your just a shopper you dont know if workers where paid well butt you seem to know it all i’m just telling you what i think butt

there you go with your bull shit thay are not my workers im just a shopper at the mitchell store and i think that where paid well butt i could be wrong you seem to know it all im just telling you what i heard so exercise that dead man

What goes around, comes around …. You should not oppress your workers, shopper66.

GUESS WHO SHOPPER 66 WORKS FOR/IS

LOUD NOISES!!!

OF COURSE. THEY THOUGHT THEY MIGHT BE ENTITLED TO THEIR PAY WHICH THEY DID NOT RECEIVE. BUT NOW THAT IT’S DOCUMENTED IN CAPS, WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT THEY DID NOT DESERVE THEIR PAY BECAUSE THE DARED TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS. HOW DARE THEY!

THE BIG BOSS CAME DOWN TO CLEAN OUT THE DEAD WOOD THERE WERE 3 WORKERS THAT THOUGHT THEY OWNED THE PLACE SO HE MOVED THEM ON AND PUT NEW MANAGERS IN. IT,S ALL GOOD NOW

serfchoices…. love it.

It only went up in the last half hour.

Thanks Jack, I did look on ABC news website before I posted but couldn’t find any details.

Aunty has a report here.
Depot workers sacked amid pay dispute!!!
Three workers have been sacked from a Canberra recycling depot in the middle of an investigation by the Workplace Ombudsman into claims they have been underpaid.
Police were called to the Aussie Junk business at Mitchell when the men refused to leave the premises after they were handed termination notices.
Sacked worker Justin Winters says he and other members of his family who work at the depot have not received overtime and superannuation entitlements.

There I was thinking someone had put their recycling in the wrong bin!

I didn’t think ABC had Z-plates….

Maybe AFP Media unit??
