lol
was on a job afew years ago and had a guy working with me who was an x pro wrestler 6"7 tall bald head and a droopy Mexican mustash. the client brought us up some teas and sort of got chatting then out the blue asked if I had ever done a job and not got paid. we were in the final stages of grouting and polishing off. so I stood up and said to the guy if I don't get paid then shaun dosent get paid. and as shauns my credit control manager then its his job of collecting my debts. I then went back and finished of the grouting. he paid up no problem even gave us a tip.;)
my m8 is on you tube ifyou log on and search colonel brody wrestling you can see him in action against chris benouir owen hart etc etc

You could all do with a Shaun. Lol

I get paid up front nearly all the time. Only Google pays on their own terms but it's guaranteed each month and has only let me down around a Christmas a few years ago when they only sent cheques out and had a delay due to something random.

My lads have been on a job, big posh house, plastering and rendering, we finished plastering, took them off for a week to do another job, senrmt them back to scratch on the render, asked him for money for finished plastering(couple grand)
His words " not a chance until rendering finished"
What would you do ?
Walk and lose money ?
Or stay and finish and hope we get paid for the lot ?
Ive got someone lined up to paint his nice 40 grand windows if he robs me , cheap as well, £100 for the lot, cheap decorator is that

I find its the big posh houses with there garage full of expensive cars that are the worst kind of people to get paid from....im sure they look at us like scum... that we should be grateful for the work.
Honest hard working folk that have saved for years to have work done are trying to pay before you finish. ....which makes it even worse when they get screwed by the cowboys out there
