Hi guys I am in the process of getting a dual badge for Castle Point ( ESSEX ) and could do with a bit of info on what to rent ie. HACK OR PH
I want to rent for a year to see how things go but I need to know if the earning potential is greater for either also will I have to rent a radio or could I survive going it alone.
:p

Try the rank in the day first, ease into it, if that goes well, get cards, get a website, emails to your smart or iphone, approach the education transport and ambulance service and yes, even your local volunteer service (if you cant beat em, join em), or pay £100 a week base rent, and have to take £150/wk before theres any benefit in it...

your choice
