Busiest week of the year for me this is - week before Ramadan. Loads of mosques to do, in fact I have the largest purpose built mosque in Europe to do on Sunday!

If you have any mosques local to you it might be worth your while calling in and giving them a quote - they always pay cash and if you seem reasonable and respectful they'll give you the job without looking for other quotes first.

No,  it's the Markazi Mosque in Dewsbury. It has been in the news a lot as it had terror links i.e. Mohammed Sidique Khan (London bomber,) went there and also Richard Reid (the shoe bomber,) but in general they're not a bad bunch  ::)

Same quantity of phone calls, but maybe a small trend towards trying to force the price down.

I think the week, or weeks shortly after, the kids go back to school are naturally quiet, since the parents have been forking out on school uniforms and other school-related items.  It'll pick up again quite soon.

Good thinking Pete.

I related it to kids back at school but didnt think about the spend the parents have gone through.

Hope your right and things do pick up.
