It's a funny game.
I've not been going that long (4 years now)
But when starting out with low prices, spread out work, heavy poles, manual reels etc I used to look at what others say they could do and think bloody hell. I remember doing about 12 jobs a day! I did 23 today, set off at 8:45 and back by 2:30 plus don't really feel tired like I used to when I seemed to be working a lot harder for less return .....
