Talk to some of your mates dude, that should cheer you up. A lot of mine would have to work 3/4 days to earn that sort of coin.

Horrible when that happens mate. I once walked down the stairs and my Henry Hoover came apart and it had no bag it. Black dust everywhere, all up the wall and over the carpet. Made a proper mess.

Not a great day, we all have them from time to time. Hopefully that's your bad luck done for a while. £300 a day working for HA isn't bad going at all on a positive note.

Aye, but look at it this way, there could have been no work today, and the van would still have broken down tomorrow.
