sorry to hear that chief,   but this is just the start of the recession according to all the makor financial experts,    theve been saying that the 3rd finacial quarter will be the acid test as its when the gas and electric price hikes come into effect and the full weight of the tory cutbacks will slow any growth.

lots and lots of peoples jobs will be lost over the next 6 months,     I would be very wary of booking holidays with budget airlines and the smaller travel agents as they will really struggle.

yip commercial work is going to take a severe beating real soon. I was talking to a fella today who works in motor trade selling parts to motor factors. A small place up my way everyone uses had a cheque bounce and account closed. The little place has been there ever since i remember. Shame

I was chatting to another window cleaner yesterday, and he showed me a letter he got from a national contractor that he subs from

and it states very politely that he holds 3% of there window cleaning contracts and if he was to cut his prices he would be looked upon favourably for the other 97%

He used to do a lot more for them but another company has slowly but surely picked them all up

life is crap sometimes :-\
