Well done Phil     

Reading everyones posts was enjoyable, and yes, training etc etc etc does cost money and time and not many companies are willing to do it......and just as i was going to say a comment on it all......Phil steals my wind and can't stop laughing at his work for tomorrow.

Oh Boy, needed that     

Poor Martin, he does try 

Think i will leave my thoughts till another day as still giggling. Thanks again Phil

Regards

Tim

hi there

phil
  i liked that, good response.

one of the biggest problems with this country is people hate it, when you say your doing well.

why? i dont care what people think,

i work hard, have a good team, employees and sub contractors, and they all work hard, hence they all earn good money. 

and i dont care what we do to earn it, but generally we get a lot of work on the back of other contractors, some of them cleaning contractors, not wantiing the work, or contractors not performing for whatever reason.

people know that i'll help anybody, whether thats on here or not. 

so some people might think thats arrogant, but i know where i want to be in three and five years time, and as far as im concerned theres nothing wrong with that

regards

When I was lad me mother would wake me up before I'd gone to sleep, make me sweep, with hair on back of dead rat nestled down in my bed, the floor to our cardboard box.
Send me down to pit to sweep the floor for dust.  Mix dust with meths or white spirit, once turned into a paste, push vile mixture, with bare hands, into small flat metal tins.

Wth my John Bull printing set. a Chrsitmas present every year for forty years, I would have to stamp 100,000 labels for the tins every day. After breakfast I would push trolley with tins of vile mixture to local market and whilst waiting for Cleaning Contractors to arrive at 09.30 of the a.m to buy vile mixture, I would hand write 1000, 000 CoSHH sheets.

Hi Martin
What you say about people hating it when you do well is so true, especially in the cleaning industry. But you have to admit some of the
replies have been funny.

Im totaly with Colin. As i stated in another posting some of you lack the most basic skills. Half of you couldn't manadge a pi* up  in a brewery let alone running a sucessfull business.

[Mr BSF]

My daughter chose that picture!

[Robert Parry]

Nothing wrong with a sense of humour, sure i've got one somewhere, probably vac'd it up.
But serious debate, don't be so hard Mike we all had to start somewhere, but we can only improve the standards within the industry by educating both our employee's and our clients, there are vast numbers of client's out there who have no more idea of cleaning than the very newest of our downtrodden broterhood!

Only by the mutual exchange of information and idea's with others can we learn, seems to me that this forum and others is the ideal place for that

Rob

I find myself looking at questions about the most basic aspects of running a business and even worse very basic questions regarding cleaning.

If you don't believe me then trawl back over the past posts.

[Mike Jones]

Often a simple search would come up with the info without the need to waste our time.
