Big Charlie ... last time i worked full time was March 2005 ,finished up working for 7.00 p/h .
Started the same job in March 2003 earning 21.00 p/h . Reason for the reduction in wages ? They changed the system after i found a quick way to make good money and the management couldn't stomach it . I was making more than them overnight. There is no way to make an honest buck in the UK . Thank heavens for BF ,you wont catch me moaning about the premium charge . |

What's your most profitable sport mate? I think we may need to exchange words in due course, once I've got my system up and running. :-) |

Canny , football and correct score markets on the whole my friend .

By:
Blimey Coach, if you're playing those and are on the PC charge, you're a shrewdie.

By:
I've studied it for a good few years Canny plus i'm fortunate enough to be able to work out odds and numbers fairly quickly which helps a little i guess, especially when the goals go flying in and the odds change dramatically . :)
A little bit of judgement helps , sometimes odds just don't look right as you're well aware . |

There were weeks and weeks on here throughout 2006 when i was barely making a bean .
Went into a lot of debt that year ,still paying it off but almost there . |

Sadly after 29 years the independent footwear trade is on its knees, unless there is an improvement next year it will more than likely be my last.
A shame in the respect a family buisness in the space of just a few years has basically gone to the wall. I am hanging on more out of tradition & sentementality than anything out but those good attributes wont pay the bills as we all know, its bleak out there but I try not to let it affect me because though my pocket may be suffering I refuse to let it drag ME down with it. |

By:
how long has the business been run by your family Pump?
|
|
By:
I'd guess it 's a good 30 years Tobes.
Pumpy will confirm later. Not many slipper wearers inthe area these days, best switch to sandals. |

By:
Hi Toby, in the same market for over 50 years, though for 32 years in the position we are now.
20 years ago we had three saturday girls & me & my dad. Now I can easily manage on my tod. I have a brilliant photo of my grandad in the market from nearly 50 years ago, I will e-mail it to you if your interested. |
