its linked to housing costs and most have seen their mortgages drop significantly
what am I going to stop spending on ?
hhmmmmmmmm
maybe I'll wait a few months before I buy a plasma tv, but then again electronic goods have always dropped in price as technology evolves, remember what dvd players used to cost ?
still gotta eat, havent seen my food bill coming down.

the only reason it may affect the price of window cleaning is there will be more people doing it.

And whether they are realistic or not people's perceptions will guide their actions. Might be an idea to wait...

Post by: gerard mcmanus on March 24, 2009, 03:19:38 pm: for now I am waiting, wont be doing any price rises at the mo. Also same here, wouldnt drop my price, not unless I was lossing them by the bucket load, which it is no were near that bad, not for me anyway.

Post by: Mr.G on March 24, 2009, 08:12:36 pm: I'm in the process of putting my prices up, most people have been ok so far, but that kinda news won't help, I shall bite the bullet and carry on though.
