You need a scheme like the car industry got where millions of pounds was given away to customers. Then you too could go on television saying how much better things are ignoring the fact that once the scheme ends you will be back to square 1 or worse.

Good luck :) It's not all bad news though; I refer the forum to its favourite news source. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1245967/Blairs-lucrative-deal-hedge-fund-bet-bank-failures.html |

Haven't you any idea how much it costs combining trainee sainthood with running 6 houses, even with the benefit of free flights, 6 million quid of taxpayers' funded security pa, and, as you happen to be out of the country 75% of the time no UK tax to pay. This isn't socialism, it's NEW socialism. |

I wasn't having a go at you PL, just my weak attempt at humour, and you have my genuine sympathy, it must be a nightmare trying to maintain your business in this economic climate.

If you charged 4k for squares of hardboard people would feel ripped off, 4k for squares of glass with plastic trim and they are delighted. Money for old rope this glazing lark.

So a fella comes on here moaning that business is terrible. I say that I might be able to put some business his way. He ignores my post! This thread reveals a fair bit about the reality (and confirms a few prejudices about Double Glazing salesmen) Changing market conditions are all just part of life's rich pattern. The OP and his pals are obviously sitting on their hands expecting things to roll in with no effort on their part so they can treat people like cack just as they did in the 'good times'. The current state of affairs throws up tons of opportunities for anyone with a bit of gumption prepared to adapt and make an effort. The plainlazys of this world will go under and that is fair enough. natural order etc |
