How to convince the tradesmen?

[renovator]

Sadly I think this will be the case for a lonnngggg time yet.

Yep. But there will be other options. There are other options. I just don't know many of them yet. Just because something is like that, it doesn't mean it's always going to be the only option.

Life is full of options & depending on the options you take will lead you on different roads to enlightenment &/or success.

just be careful of greenies finding out that your doing clearing. unless youve got the go ahead from whatever relevant authority ofcourse.
youd be surprised at the amount of people who would dob you in for trying to protect your own land if they found out.

I wouldn't let him know you had physical silver or gold.

Just pay him cash because if you exchange shiny stuff he's going to go down the pub and tell every Tom, Dick and Harry that you have metal.

Thanks once again to all replies.

Was going to put the kilo back in the sunken boat and break out a 10oz bar.

But nothing will be passed to him but plastic.

Loose lips etc....
