Now is the time to take a good hard look at your customers and see if there are any to let go before the winter.

Agree with Vince, definitely time to check the rounds to see who should go. We went through whole round yesterday and identified a few that are either immediate price rise or out. Don't really want them to accept price rise because they are difficult in one way or another. The 'can you come back', 'don't like wfp' brigade..

Picked up a gutter clean today, and have definitely noticed an upturn since kids back at school. Picked up 6 in about 10 minutes a couple of weeks ago, we got a couple and then people kept stopping us ;D

We could go out for a day knocking doors if you like, Saturdays are probably most productive at the moment as everybody is at home doing stuff around the house. let me know.
