Anyone just watched it?

Cowboy builder ballsed up loads of jobs in Dorset,confronted by Dominic Littlewood were he saked him if he was going to carry on buillding.

No. He said Ive stopped building and I'm now CARPET CLEANING.

God help anyone round here with carpets said Dominic ;D

Anyone know of him Darrell Smith I think his name was.

Could be more bad publicity for CC's

He will probably be OK, I mean it's not like a trade where you need skills. You can train a monkey to clean a carpet.

It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

Funny you should say that. There was a caller on the Chris moyles show this morning and he was a carpet cleaner. His name was Arden! Didn't catch where he was from though as I was sitting outside customers house and was already running late lol

Thats twice carpet cleaning was mentioned on national radio/tv in one day! OMG

I caught the back end of "Cowboy Builders" and chuckled when he said he was going into Carpet Cleaning....

Obviously it's seen as the easy option and a money spinner by most :-\

For many builders £100 a day is about average - this is after 3 years training - so when they hear storys of carpet cleaners earning £100 / hour  - or even £40 / hour which seems to be looked down at  - just for washing a carpet  ;D it's a no brainer or so they think

I won't deny it, the reason I started Carpet Cleaning was because I thought it was the easy option and a money spinner.... Dohhhh! ;D
