Not a fan of pork pies but that said only know of a couple of guys who worked for BG on a similar type of arrangement and found like most of employers tended to hook you in and after a couple of weeks put the pressure on with the amount of jobs expected.......but that was then perhaps you have a different arrangement if you can cherry pick then why not give it a go....you can always leave...regards Turnpin :D

it will be definatly a cherry pick 'safety check fga' and he also offered my own postcode. been working for them for a few years already and still have it easy ;)
this is just another avenue of easyish money tbh. the rates not high but the time on the job/work to do/pay/and volume makes a big cohuners by the sounds of it.
might bring my working week down to 2 days :lol:
