[speaker003:] You can go through it, er you don't realize.
[Tracy:] Yeah, you just
[speaker003:] You don't honestly realize.

[speaker003:] I mean I hadn't any worries. No, you know

[speaker003:] I've never had any worries or anything like that. But you don't realize
[Tracy:] Course you have.
[Annette:] No.
[Tracy:] Just being ordinary and
[speaker003:] Yeah!
[Tracy:] You know sort of
[speaker003:] Yeah!
[Annette:] Yeah!
[speaker003:] George had no affection in him, I found that out.
[Annette:] Really?
[speaker003:] No affection.
[Annette:] Now you surprise me cos I would have thought cos you... always went round holding hands and looked so happy.
[speaker003:] Not with George wouldn't have hold your hand. Wouldn't have touched you!
[Annette:] Oh?
[speaker003:] No! No way! The most affection you got from George was a pat on head!
[Annette:] [LAUGHTER] Oh crumbs []! [LAUGHTER]
[speaker003:] Oh no, you see he used to say about people that held hands. He used to be quite...
[Annette:] Yeah!
[speaker003:] about people.
[Tracy:] Oh! I see
[speaker003:] Yeah! Yeah!
[Annette:] Yeah.
[speaker003:] See it's funny, he used to think all people just, he used to say, oh he's doing that for show.
[Annette:] Mm.
[speaker003:] He'd never had affection so he couldn't give it.
[Annette:] No. No.
[speaker003:] You know, but
[Annette:] No.
[speaker003:] I used to make allowances for the way he was brought up.
[Annette:] Yeah.
[speaker003:] He was brought up with his grandma and that. Well I
[Annette:] Yeah.
[speaker003:] thought he's never had affection.
[Tracy:] No. People of that age, it's like David's grandma they don't know what affection... means.
[Annette:] No!
[speaker003:] No!
[Annette:] They say we're daft for showing our affection.
[speaker003:] Yeah. But you should do. I only just realized that. Well it's taken me a long time to even be able to give affection.
[Annette:] Yeah. I'm sure.
[speaker003:] When you're not used to it it's
[Annette:] Yeah.
[speaker003:] funny!
[Annette:] Yeah.
[speaker003:] You know.
[Annette:] Oh I think it's all part of it.
[speaker003:] Oh! Dennis has got more in his little finger than George
[Annette:] Yeah.
[speaker003:] had in his body!
[Annette:] Well, I think it's... but I mean, we can, I can honestly say never go er past we always tell each other we love each other.
[speaker003:] Yeah!
[Annette:] And I think you should.
[speaker003:] You should! Yeah.
[Annette:] Even my dad. I give
[speaker003:] Yeah.
[Annette:] my dad an odd cuddle now and again, I'll say
[speaker003:] Yeah.
[Annette:] I love you. You
[speaker003:] Yeah.
[Annette:] know. I mean it's just, yeah
[speaker003:] Well George wasn't like that. He wasn't like it
[Annette:] Well
[speaker003:] he was a man's man through and through. Too much
[Annette:] I think
[speaker003:] so.
[Annette:] I think life's too short, and I think as you're getting older you realize, I mean... like losing my mum
[speaker003:] Now he's worse
[Annette:] i
[speaker003:] he's worse now is George, well I should say worse or better, now you see he'll cry now.
[Annette:] Yeah.
[speaker003:] You know.
[Annette:] Whereas he didn't before?
[speaker003:] You know
[Tracy:] [LAUGHTER]
[speaker003:] Yeah.
[Annette:] Yeah.
[speaker003:] I mean all he can say now is I've messed my life up!
[Annette:] Yeah!
[speaker003:] You know... well
[Annette:] Yeah.
[speaker003:] that's it. You know, that's it
[Annette:] Yeah.
[speaker003:] there int anything anybody can do.
[Annette:] Well we said over there, I bet he's really regretting how it's all turned out... didn't I?
[Tracy:] Yeah. Definitely, yeah!
[Annette:] I don't know what we
[Tracy:] Yeah.
[Annette:] Yeah, we were saying I bet George really regrets
[speaker003:] Yeah.
[Annette:] what he's done.
[speaker003:] But you see him, cos he won't register as an alcoholic, he won't
[Annette:] No.
[speaker003:] won't help himself.
[Annette:] No.
[speaker003:] You know. He thinks he
[Annette:] It's a shame innit?
[speaker003:] You know, there's nothing you can do. I mean, to him now all his life is... out till half four in the morning blind drunk!... You can't be a teenager when you're fifty!
[Annette:] No you can't love can you?
[speaker003:] But, you know... don't work.
[Annette:] No.
[speaker003:] And he goes, I mean he went to see my mum and dad before Christmas and they didn't recognise him! He's so bloated and, I mean I haven't seen him, I said I've, I've talked to him on the phone.

[Annette:] Yeah.
[speaker003:] Promise me! I said I don't want to see you!
[Annette:] Yeah.
[speaker003:] You know. Bad enough and at least, I mean it's not, on a phone you can be upset but yo it's not the same as seeing somebody

[Tracy:] Here he is....
[Annette:] It's not... Hiya. What's the matter? What are the ser terms? Thirty days. But they're not paying thirty days.
[Tracy:] I've just explained that to him. And he said he didn't know that, that he would get hold of Sen and ring me first thing, thing in the morning... er, to tell me why Sen hasn't paid. He's got the invoice and everything. I said well you've sent us twenty thou... I said there is no V A T on it which it should be! Deary me! He says. Has he got the invoi? I said yes. And I said, we've been having, having the invoice outstanding since October at two and half thousand pound! I said, you actually owe me six thousand, one hundred and odd! And I said, you must realize I've a small company, and that's, in one respect that I've had to send those conditions because you're failing to meet the agreed thirty days payment!
[Annette:] Yeah.
[Tracy:] And I said it's not on! I said we couldn't survive like that. And he said, well would you like to carry on with the contract? I said we're too far committed now to, I says to back out. I said, you know, we can't back out at this stage. And I said, but I said if there isn't the payments of the invoice when they are sent... then... you know, we've go you've gotta look at it. So that invoice wants
[Annette:] Doing. Yeah.
[Tracy:] it wants doing and sending, and put in i put twenty eight days on.
[Annette:] Yeah.
[Tracy:] Had to be paid, it can't be paid by the twenty eighth it's er... you know... well if I could've got hold of David or er, Andrew, I was gonna give Andrew a right bollocking for just pushing it in and he should've sent it to er, Michael, Michael 's just got it shoved in front of his nose a in Edinburgh. He's just gone in to see if everything's alright at Edinburgh... and of course, that's why he's had to report for that. Which was fair play to him, but bloody Andrew should have told him! It's agreed, the system of stage payments, it's all written to him.
[Annette:] And you've just spoken to him have you?
[Tracy:] I've just spoken to Michael. Michael's great!
[Annette:] And you, you... so he understands after he's sent you this?
[Tracy:] What?
[Annette:] What's going on.
[Tracy:] Yeah. Because yo di I said I had to send that agreement because you're failing to meet the standard agreement, you're not paying within the twenty eight days or the thirty days!
[Annette:] Mm.
[Tracy:] I said I've got an invoice outstanding for October, and I said I can't afford to do that! He said, I realize that. Then he said, we wou want you to do that work he said, because you've got a good reputation.... It makes, you know, if we... we're not gonna go bust just to get twelve months bloody work out of him on a service contract! You know, but i if we couldn't, if they we... as they said, if they wanted that money back tomorrow we could only give them half that money back because of what we've got
[Annette:] Mm.
[Tracy:] er, you know, but, we might as well just say to everybody, David, Geoff, Ian
[Annette:] Yeah, well that's it.
[Tracy:] ta-ta! You know
[Annette:] Yeah. Yeah.
[Tracy:] you're sacked! The lot of you!
[Annette:] They've got a meeting with R F S next week.

[David:] you've done very well! Haven't you really? Your first... your first year.
[Annette:] Yeah we did well but erm... we shouldn't have... like, you learn by your mistakes, but we... we kind of made profit and we shouldn't of done
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] erm, and now the tax man has hammered us so hard
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] that we're really struggling!
[David:] Yeah. Yeah.
[Annette:] And we're really having to struggle to sort of make ends meet.
[David:] Yeah. I know what you mean. You... it's a diffi it's difficult
[Annette:] It's wrong int it?
[David:] just striking up that balance int it?
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] Isn't it really?
[Annette:] And of course, now they... when we originally moved in here we asked about the rates and they said oh they co they wouldn't raise it because it was an unfinished project
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] and nobody had paid rates, and they wouldn't pay rates until they'd actually finished building on the land opposite.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] Anyway, when the accountant came in to do the books... he said er, oh he said you've got to pay something. So he said, I'll get onto them myself. Anyway, apparently, he was told exactly the same thing as I was told
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] but of course, it had kind of stirred up a hornets' nest! Next thing they were down with the measuring up and we'd just got a four thousand pound rate bill! And, they've actually rated it at ten and a half thousand... erm... payable
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] three thousand eight, and of course, well Neil said there's V A T, I didn't think you had to pay V A T on rates?
[David:] I didn't, I didn't, you know, I don't
[Annette:] You know?
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] Er... anyway... so tha that's sort of you know, made
[David:] Mm.
[Annette:] a big difference. That's suddenly four thousand a year we've to find.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] I mean, if, it's crippling us is this place!
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] If it wasn't for this we could be... it would be quite good.
[David:] Yeah. Yeah.
[Annette:] But what can you do, there's nothing else about?
[David:] No it's... that's it. And a lot of businesses up and down are er... are in a bad way, really.
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] Some very... sailing very close to the wind.
[Annette:] Yeah. They're all finding it hard aren't they?
[David:] Well, there's less and less work... and the work that does seem to be about... is that competitively priced that
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] you know, it's negible whether you can make anything even if
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] you get the work.
[Annette:] Yeah. And then of course er... money is floating round very quickly. No. No. I er, in fact, we, yeah, we just had a problem yesterday, we started work for the Royal Scotsman... and... erm... well we started work for them, like last year and we've been doing jobs
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] and we've had invoices outstanding since October.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] So Neil said, well... these invoices weren't forthcoming, so I said to them, the thing, the thing is, if we start work and we buy a load of equipment... how are we gonna... sort of, how long's the cheque gonna, gonna be coming in, you know.
[David:] And you have to fund it.
[Annette:] So we asked for twenty thousand pound upfront.
[David:] Tt!
[Annette:] So, anyway, and they said, and before we wi we get this twenty thousand we also want the ou October's invoices clearing up as well. So, that was... great. Anyway, we've waited and waited... we've rung and we've rung! Eventually a cheque came, instead of being like, for six thousands er, nearly seven thousand it came for four!
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] Erm, the twenty thousand eventually arrived, no V A T. You know
[David:] Yes.
[Annette:] and all this sort of things. So, of course, we were getting a little bit panicky... cos what's worrying me, and it still worries me... again... we've put all this time and effort in... they may pay us... alright, we've got this twenty, they may pay us a second payment, but are they gonna pay up on the third?
[David:] Well tha that's always the catch isn't it?
[Annette:] You know?
[David:] The last one.
[Annette:] Yeah. So we actually wrote down... erm... th the equipment that we were buying was ours until paid for in full.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] By them.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] And we sent this letter up to them. Well we've had their director on the phone, phone yesterday... and more or less demanded his twenty thousand back
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] and, if you don't want the work we'll take it elsewhere and all this.
[David:] Mm.
[Annette:] Erm
[David:] Puts you off doesn't it?
[Annette:] Well I mean, what on earth do you do?
[David:] Yeah. Very difficult isn't it?
[Annette:] You just... well Ne both Neil and I have sort of felt well, to be quite honest it isn't worth it.
[David:] Yeah. For what you make at the end of the day on, on somebody's
[Annette:] No it's not worth it. It
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] well it, the running the business isn't I don't think... because by the time... the tax man's hammered you
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] you know, the V A T man wants his money, I mean the V A T man's been paid for all these invoices
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] and I still haven't got the money in.
[David:] Yeah. Yeah.
[Annette:] You know. Everything's against you!
[David:] Really V A T's, I think, and I think it should only be paid when it, when the invoices
[Annette:] Exactly!
[David:] have been cleared, rather than always paying
[Annette:] Exactly!
[David:] for that quarter
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] even if you've not got paid.
[Annette:] Yeah. Exactly! Erm... mm, I don't know whether there's any way round it... but... that's sort of the set up that they gave us when we started and I guess I'll have to... sort of conform to that, but... it
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] does seem unfair.
[David:] Yeah. That's right.
[Annette:] I mean now there's a couple of people quibbling about actually paying... at the that we did.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] There's still six hundred and odd pound outstanding. Erm... I can't honestly see us ever getting that.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] Erm... the funiculars... they're quibbling about the final payment.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] About them being late and everything else. Er, you know, it's just a, and I've paid for that and that and
[David:] There's extenuating circumstances like that
[Annette:] Oh dear!
[David:] though isn't there? As Neil said.
[Annette:] Well yeah!
[David:] Changes in specification
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] er, equipment coming in late, er
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] you know, I mean
[Annette:] They don't seem to... want to know though. I mean, Neil's tried to explain to them... that, they were late with drawings and everything else, it put us way behind in the beginning.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] But all, you know, they've just not listened to him!
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] So
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] I guess it'll
[David:] It's er stal stalling... they're
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] cos that's all it's doing innit?
[Annette:] Yeah. Well solicitor said she, it sounded to her as if there's something more... to it. Maybe they don't have the money.
[David:] Yeah. Yeah.
[Annette:] And they're stalling all the time.
[David:] Yeah. Yeah.
[Annette:] But erm... you see, they suggested going down for a meeting... he's up to his eyes in it!
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] And
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] he can't honestly spare time to go down there
[David:] It's costing you money isn't it?
[Annette:] Well yeah
[David:] And chase your own... what's due to
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] you. That's, that's the.
[Annette:] And we know you're gonna have an argument. So is it worth it?
[David:] Yeah. Yeah.
[Annette:] I, I, I personally feel that... give it to solicitor and let her deal with it, because
[David:] Yeah. Yeah.
[Annette:] just not worth the hassle. Alright
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] that's gonna cost
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] but, but I mean you can only make it worse by... like you say, you're wasting your own time and money
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] you're not gonna get anywhere!
[David:] Yeah. Yeah. All gets
[Annette:] I mean
[David:] a bit acrimonious doesn't it? And er
[Annette:] Yeah. Don't it?
[David:] er that sort of thing starts happening.
[Annette:] Oh it's painful!
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] It really is painful!
[David:] Yeah. It's getting ever more difficult isn't it? Doing
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] business. Ever more.
[Annette:] Yeah. You just... I,th all this bumph about sort of trying to help small businesses and, things like that, they do nothing!
[David:] No. No I know that.
[Annette:] They do nothing at all!
[David:] Yeah. No it's er... as you say, all, all the cards are stacked i in
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] such a way that it makes it ever more difficult.
[Annette:] Yeah. The trouble is, see... you know, you've nobody you can go to, you, you've nobody that sort of will listen to
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] to all this and do something about it higher up.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] I mean they just keep hammering and hammering and more and more are going out of business.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] Alright,th the... saying in the paper, they're talking about... stopping these big companies, keeping these little companies waiting... there could be something they can do about that, but how long is it going to be before they do something?
[David:] Yeah. Yeah. It's a
[Annette:] In the meantime... there's more and more going bust every week!
[David:] Well the trouble is, a lot of these MPs and... people on these committees... are actually... they've got seats on the boards of a lot of these big companies
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] so it's not in their interests to push this through. The longer they can stall... something
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] like that
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] er, you know, the better it is, and particularly when you look at the... the fever that there is at the moment about... electioneering
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] is, is no big business isn't it?
[Annette:] No, that's true. I mean maybe I should go and see local... erm... MP or
[David:] Local M P.
[Annette:] whatever and, and, about the rates.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] And see, you know, if they can do something about that, maybe it'd be right time.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] Bu cos we're actually the only ones that have their rate bill... Barry's hasn't.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] So, you know, they're
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] just expecting us to pay!
[David:] Yeah. Yeah. I would.
[Annette:] And it's... Yeah.
[David:] That's what they're there for!
[Annette:] Well, yeah that's true!
[David:] Whether you've voted for them or not.
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] And, you know... in fact
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] you pay your taxes and, and
[Annette:] Yeah, it's very true that.
[David:] you know, it can have.
[Annette:] I might do that.
[David:] Yeah. Because if, if they've singled yourself out, it's, obviously, it's not right is it?
[Annette:] No it's not. Well I said, well I'm not paying mine until somebody else gets theirs.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] And have to pay theirs.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] But erm... I suppose next thing'll be a court demand and, how d'ya fight that?
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] So
[David:] It's all a worry innit? [LAUGHTER]
[Annette:] Yeah, int it? Oh! Headache stuff! Never mind.
[David:] Yeah. Yeah.
[Annette:] Never mind!
[David:] Oh well, keep your head down. [LAUGHTER]
[Annette:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah []! Yeah. At least there isn't the same hassle as there was at Calpers
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] I mean... alright, yes, you sort of have worries, but most of the time, I mean, for all last year it's run pretty well.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] It's only just recently that we sort of starting our de we've had bits of aggro.
[David:] Yeah. Or at least, like
[Annette:] So
[David:] with this,a all the benefits are, you... get them personally don't you?
[Annette:] Yeah. Yeah.
[David:] Er rather than
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] doing the same amount of hours er and somebody else benefiting?
[Annette:] That's it! Yeah, that's it.
[David:] Yeah. Yeah.
[Annette:] I mean, it's, like his car for instance, I mean, that's always been a dream he never thought he'd ever be able to afford... a new car, erm
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] you know?
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] And er, of course that's like a dream come true for Neil, so
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] that's
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] why we want to make a success and he [LAUGHTER] don't lose it all []!
[David:] Well, you know, you've got to have er benefits of, of... taking a course of action like this haven't you? Because
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] otherwise... you know
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] what's the point?
[Annette:] That's it.
[David:] What's the point? I mean i
[Annette:] That's it.
[David:] It's not that people want to get rich, it's just that you make a nice living and... enjoy
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] what you like doing and that's it.
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] You know?
[Annette:] Yeah. Yeah, can well do without the sort of, the hassle and the aggro. I mean, Calpers have made it... a lot worse for us.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] They have. They've done
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] everything possible to make life difficult!
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] But er... hopefully they'll leave us alone soon. But it doesn't help when we bring people like Geoff you see, cos Geoff comes from Calpers
[David:] Oh I don't, oh right.
[Annette:] Oh yeah. He did.
[David:] I de I didn't recognize him.
[Annette:] Really angry... about it because they've had to bring somebody else in to do... Geoff's work.
[David:] Yeah. Yeah. Right.
[Annette:] So... I mean it was Geoff's choice.
[David:] Yeah. Well, this is it, I mean, people... you can't make people do things, I mean, they've got to
[Annette:] No.
[David:] want to do it haven't they? So
[Annette:] Yeah. This
[David:] well
[Annette:] is it.
[David:] we've done very little there. They ju just don't seem to be doing any steel work at all.
[Annette:] No. Well, everybody keeps telling us they're not doing anything. They just don't know how they're surviving but they keep going on!
[David:] Yeah. Yeah.
[Annette:] The man, he must have plenty of money to keep it, carrying it
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] as he is doing.
[David:] Yeah. Yeah.
[Annette:] But er
[David:] no doubt it'll all come out in... fullness of time
[Annette:] Well yeah
[David:] won't it?
[Annette:] It will won't it? Yeah.
[David:] Things can't carry on indefinitely... in any business
[Annette:] No.
[David:] where nothing's being produced, can it?
[Annette:] No. Oh well he's, he's told the lads that... it's only a matter of time. I think that's... what more or less decided Geoff that, yeah, he would take it.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] But erm
[David:] There you go. Well if he's, I mean, that's what you want innit?
[Annette:] Well yeah.
[David:] Somebody who can turn yo you
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] know, do a bit of everything.
[Annette:] Well it means, you see, apparently Geoff's done all the air braking at Calpers it means that Neil can actually... some of the time, be here... rather
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] than up there all the time with them.
[David:] Yeah. Yeah.
[Annette:] Well, cos David really doesn't know anything... about the air braking or anything like that.
[David:] Right. Mm.
[Annette:] So
[David:] Very good! Anyway, I'll let you get on.
[Annette:] Yeah, it's nice to see you again.
[David:] And you. Yes. Gotta go and see the guy on the end now.
[Annette:] Oh yeah!
[David:] Haven't, haven't met him as yet. He's... they've... opened an account with us and had a few bits and baps off us, so
[Annette:] Mm. Mm. Yeah, cos er, I think Neil was telling you that, they look as if they're gonna be buying plenty of gas off us if we, when we start taking the air products.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] So
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] He's seems er, he seems okay.
[David:] Yeah.
[Annette:] But that's a big company I think.
[David:] Right. Yeah. Well
[Annette:] But
[David:] I think so, it looks
[Annette:] Yeah.
[David:] it doesn't it?
[Annette:] I think we're only little one... here.
[David:] Yeah. Right.
[Annette:] I mean, next door... he's a big... company based in London, so
[David:] Yeah. Yeah.
[Annette:] [LAUGHTER] And we're struggling []! [LAUGHTER]
[David:] [LAUGHTER] I'll see you.
[Annette:] Alright Jim. See you! Bye!... Neil, I hate to say it, but I don't think... Teresa'll... will stick up there long. They've just asked her to do... more hours, she's to stay till five at night.
[Tracy:] Well... well she just wants to say well
[Annette:] It's not fair is it?
[Tracy:] you know... can... can she have some money?
[Annette:] Well, Tracy's just said that to her. It's alright them asking you Teresa, but... you know, they, they should be prepared to pay you more.... Alright, I mean, we were just sort of thinking well... sort of four o'clock wasn't she, she was starting to come out to Che she came out with Cheeky with us last night, but of course, that's all gonna go again innit, if it's gonna be five o'clock?
[Tracy:] What has Teresa said to her? I don't like that.
[Annette:] Well she said, no she said to her, well what else can I say? But, I'll ha I'll have to do it won't I?... I can see Teresa going back to Anna 's for season.
[Tracy:] Yeah.... Well the horse job, that way is, is enough bloody heads.

[Tracy:] Yeah. He's coming out.
[Annette:] Yeah. Hey they must have had a good meal other night. They spent eighty odd pound on a meal!
[Tracy:] I asked him...... did you have a sweet? He said, no, he said th that you could either have one or the other.
[Annette:] It was a lot weren't it for
[Tracy:] They have a sweet or a starters, but they didn't have them both.
[Annette:] There's one at sixty odd which is, I think ri quite reasonable for three but... eighty odd for three of them! It must have been a right
[Tracy:] of course it was
[Annette:] posh
[Tracy:] more expensive
[Annette:] Yeah, it must have been. As long as it were worth it! [LAUGHTER]
[Tracy:] Never saw, you weren't meant to, and he says, no your mum said that we could either have a sweet or a starter, not both.
[Annette:] Yeah. It sounds awfully mean don't it? I, I said to your dad... I said it's... mm mm... you know... to actually say you can't have
[Tracy:] Well if they were, if they were going home they wouldn't be... having a starter and a steak and a sweet and all that lot would they?
[Annette:] No, but they are inconvenienced cos they're away from home but
[Tracy:] But... i i it's just
[Annette:] Well I don't know, I feel happier now your dad's had that bit of a do with that bloke, cos I feel that... we can go to him
[Tracy:] Yeah.
[Annette:] and, and wi you know, hopefully get paid, there shouldn't be any problem.... Cos that erm... that Sen, that... accountant obviously isn't up to much. He promised your dad, oh it'll all be sorted within twenty four, forty eight hours and that was how many, three
[Tracy:] Yeah.
[Annette:] four days ago?
[Tracy:] I don't think he knows everything ab about that or what?
[Annette:] Erm... he, he told him this morning on the phone, he's looked into it, he's the director... and he apologizes. He rung to apologize this morning and said that it will be sorted... and you will have your cheque. He said, I am sorry! I didn't realize things were like this.
[Tracy:] That's why... you sent them the conditions!
[Annette:] Well, that's what Andrew said. If, if they'd have... if they'd have talked to Andrew first, Andrew would have told him why we'd sent it.
[Tracy:] Andrew can't, he's just sort of passed that, that on. Why has it gone to somebody who?
[Annette:] Well apparently... it had gone to Andrew, and, Andrew had... cos Andrew isn't in the office all the time, and he'd left it in the office, and... I think they faxed it... by th Andrew was gonna talk to somebody about it, but of course, by the time he'd got there, it'd already been done and this had happened so... I'm gonna ring erm... Job Centre when I get home.
[Tracy:] Yeah.
[Annette:] I, they'll say, I know what they're gonna say. Like, you know... there's nothing they can do.... That's why, she'll be better to... stick it and then she was to Aunty Anne's. At least when she finishes at, with Aunty Anne, it was seasonal.
[Tracy:] she, she... Anne's gone... Aunty Anne's, she won't have to go to that job.
[Annette:] Yeah.... [yawning] Oh God []! I've... [yawn]
[Tracy:] I'm starting to get a bit like that.
[Annette:] Yeah.... [cough]... Although I seem, I slept alright last night, but I think when you've got things on your mind... no I didn't sleep alright, I was too warm, I tossed and turned most of night! I was really warm.... Did you, you watched the... programme, the Queen did you?
[Tracy:] Yeah! Weren't it good!
[Annette:] Weren't it good? I'm gonna
[Tracy:] Yeah.

[Annette:] No! It's with... it's got to go through, we've got to see if we can get all the fees paid yet. It's going through that... system, and once they've given us the go ahead then we can go to the solicitor in Lancaster.
[Donald:] I see.... And then, fee... I can't see how he can, well, do you wrong... when... er erm fancy, and they're trying charge for a... an hire of a crane?
[Annette:] Yeah.
[Donald:] [LAUGHTER] Not your fault they had to hire a bloody crane []!... Pathetic!
[Annette:] No it's... Tracy was telling David, and David said... David was saying same thing, David wants to... well like was saying this morning to Neil, we'll have to get a meeting up a go. But, I was saying to Tracy, I can't see the point of going just to have a row, because... that's all it'll end up, I don't think they'll get anywhere... by having a meeting, I think they'll just row.
[Donald:] [clears throat]
[Annette:] Because they, probably they won't budge. You see, Neil's already put his side... about, we worked er... how can you hold us responsible for them being late in when
[Donald:] That's it!
[Annette:] for a kick off anyway, you held us up for three, five months... with drawings... being late! Three months.
[Donald:] Yeah. Yeah.
[Annette:] Whatever it was.
[Donald:] They don't really understand that!
[Annette:] Before you let us have i the drawings. And there was all that messing about there, and then we couldn't foresee the wagon having two punctures, blah, blah, blah and the rest of it!
[Donald:] That's right. You didn't
[Annette:] But
[Donald:] do them.
[Annette:] they've just co totally ignored it you see, and still put it down, so they're obviously not prepared to budge.
[Donald:] No. Well
[Annette:] So
[Donald:] put it into legal hands then.... And did you watch video last night?
[Annette:] No. We watched the other fi he he wasn't in till eight o'clock.
[Donald:] Oh!
[Annette:] Richard.
[Donald:] What you got?
[Annette:] And I'm wondering if I should ring them actually, from unit, and ask them if... tell them what's happening... and... will she be able to go on Income Support if she does give it up?
[Teresa:] Yeah. Well, you know.
[Annette:] Will I? Shall I? Wait while your dad's out of room.
[Teresa:] I don't think you can do anything about me not getting an erm... they should just pay me more shouldn't they, if they ask to?
[Tracy:] Well Jake was saying that... he actually... why you're owed the forty five quid is... he put us down on the wrong one with your....
[Annette:] Yeah.
[Teresa:] I do less than her, but she usually a tenner.
[Annette:] Yeah, you see, this is it isn't it? She's teaching you.... It's whether you feel
[Teresa:] Well I'll say to her rather than you teaching me, I'd rather you paid me! [LAUGHTER]
[Tracy:] You won't will you?... See, you're hopeless!
[Teresa:] Yeah but it's like... it gets me because... like Jane... Jane gets asked... they only ask her every Saturday. Jane doesn't have to pay.
[Annette:] No.
[Teresa:] Jane's only paid, twenty five pound for her
[Annette:] But she's helping
[Teresa:] Yeah.
[Annette:] int she? Cos she helps out. Erm
[Teresa:] Yeah. That's right.

[Teresa:] April.
[Annette:] So you've only got like February and March... and April. Yeah?
[Teresa:] Yes.
[Annette:] Yeah well do that... and put up with it till then, and then just see how it goes. I'm afraid that she's not gonna
[Teresa:] Unless I er, I do some
[Annette:] she int gonna get anybody to, to do for them sa number of hours and
[Tracy:] No way! People would, you know, I mean it... I mean... that other lass was only there six weeks, Teresa's only been there... a few weeks. She's got to start paying people more money.
[Teresa:] Is that in, that's got? And that will be
[Annette:] No, it's not.... You can't just use people like this though. It's not on! I know she's teaching you but... how, you're certainly earning your money it's hard graft!
[Teresa:] Honest! It is.
[Annette:] Right. Get Tupples.... I don't want her to shit on your head.

[Tracy:] No.
[Pat:] Until I break free, and go into my unit.
[Tracy:] Yeah.
[Pat:] Alright. So... but there again if I get the enquiries fas I mean, that obviously is... the enquiry came through to me so obviously I quoted on it... but
[Tracy:] Yeah.
[Pat:] anything like nuts and bolts, fixings, fasteners, that type of thing go, has to go through the
[Annette:] They only stop them cos I hang on to choice int draw.
[Pat:] Well it's
[Annette:] [LAUGHTER]
[Pat:] The thing is, because of the profit margin, I mean
[Tracy:] If there's a Cumbrian Fasteners one in there give it, take it back!
[Pat:] Because of the profit we're
[Annette:] [LAUGHTER]
[Pat:] we're making on the hand tools, things like that er, works with our account money, cos you get a thirty day account. So, if you go on thirty days unfortunately we we'll enforce that.
[Annette:] Yeah.

[Annette:] What, what I try to do I just hang on to them till somebody shouts.
[Tracy:] Well tha that's what a lot of people do. You've got to.
[Annette:] Because erm
[Tracy:] You've got to wait for your money haven't you?
[Annette:] well we're finding that out. When we first started I used to pay them straight away but the big companies aren't paying us!
[Pat:] No.
[Tracy:] We found the same.
[Annette:] And er... it's just chronic! So, hopefully they're gonna stop that.
[Tracy:] Well I shall have a good look at that when I

[Pat:] Yeah, a mere pittance of pay! Twenty two pound
[Tracy:] [LAUGHTER]
[Pat:] for a forty seven hour week!
[Tracy:] Oh! You go that one there. Forty five quid, she's, she's gonna be only doing sixty, seventy hours a week!

[Pat:] Shee!
[Tracy:] I just said to her, you know, just... tell them
[Pat:] Not worth getting out of bed!
[Tracy:] you know, just ask them if there's any more money in it if she works the long hours.
[Teresa:] The trouble is
[Pat:] Well if I go on the premises, work with me and he's... trained like you had one for Steven.
[Tracy:] Well we've got one here.
[Pat:] Yeah.
[Teresa:] Yeah.
[Tracy:] And, I've just... as a basic figure, I mean, they give up to a certain figure o before their hours you put a bit of tax and after that, but er... we've allocated him to work, in the afternoons when I'm out, they allocate to her, the warehouse, because I can't afford any, er, as I say, they repairs a machine, it goes out faulty, and the onus is on me and the company
[Pat:] Yeah.
[Tracy:] and he ha he hasn't been trained up fully yet so he, you know... but plus, the course he's on at er college isn't doing him any good.
[Pat:] That's what happened to our drill you see, you've had apprentice on it!
[Tracy:] You're right.
[Annette:] [LAUGHTER]
[Teresa:] [LAUGHTER]
[Tracy:] I've, I failed miserably so I thought, I've had to put the apprentice on it you see! No, it er
[Pat:] Things can only get worse then.
[Tracy:] Probably.
[Pat:] I gi him general things on their own, I mean, it's, it's really quiet. I mean I... as a company Cumbria Power Tools will always, you know, it will survive because there's only me and this
[Teresa:] Oh yeah!
[Pat:] this there. But er... it, it didn't take a lot to keep me busy. But fasteners, I mean, you know I mean, things are
[Teresa:] You're not having this.
[Pat:] are struggling, we've had a couple of
[Tracy:] But you must have your regular customer? Cos we're er

[Pat:] Right? They know what they can source elsewhere but
[Teresa:] Yeah, but I mean they don't
[Pat:] if, if

[Pat:] people wanna get them there
[Tracy:] The only trouble that a lot of people, I think Cumbria Fasteners, in one respect
[Annette:] Shall I do it now?
[Teresa:] Yeah.
[Tracy:] would get, if they got their act together
[Teresa:] And see what's happening.
[Tracy:] they would have a lot more customers whatever the price.
[Teresa:] Cos you want to get cracking don't you?
[Annette:] Yeah.
[Tracy:] The they lose a lot of customers... er... to, to other people that... sometimes charge them more. And we get pissed off with Cumbria
[Annette:] Yeah.
[Tracy:] when you
[Pat:] Yeah.
[Annette:] go and se stand in there for half an hour!
[Tracy:] And there's one man
[Pat:] I know!
[Teresa:] One.
