JWK's Garden Destruction

Aye, I was expecting to grow some monster veg this year, but was dismayed when I found this forum and realised most people got bigger stuff from grow bags

 

LMRR: don't hold your breath on the wall rendering plans, It won't be until at least the Autumn (and I'm not saying which year!)

 

Great job, John :thumb:

I've got some projects here for you to do and, as I'm not stingy like some of the others, I'll pay you double time :thumb: . 50p an hour is a bit steep but you look as though you are worth it :D. Cash in hand, of course, but don't let anyone know .

 

Thanks Shiney, you do realise that I'm stuck in a 1960s time warp, so yes I'm quite happy to work for 50p provided its cash in hand :thumb: but I don't trust them paper 10 bob note things, payment in gold half sovereigns only!

 

No probs :thumb: . Smaller fractions of the hour will also get paid in groats and farthings. Phew!! I just checked my spelling and luckily hadn't dropped my H . Posh, ain't I? :D

 

groats and farthings - tee hee! I have a distant memory of using farthings as a kid but not groats! It might be worth doing this job just for the novelty value, I think my rate is 40 groats or 480 farthings an hour which sounds quite good, I was going to work out how many minutes and seconds to earn 1 groat and 1 farthing but I couldn't do it - thank goodness we decimalised!

 

Hey John!!! :eek:
Are you trying to con me? I don't mind paying 480 farthings an hour but 40 groat is a bit much . That's nearly 67p!!!

If you want I'll pay you one Piece of Eight an hour or three Dubloons for a six day week. You can have a very generous one day off each week :D

 

shiney: :confused::o Did you have to work that out or did it jump out at you. Be careful how you answer as it might date you! :D

Yes, it should be 30 groats a hour (not 40), flipping heck you've got to admire all those oldies working with florins, crowns, tanners etc I suppose it was second nature then
