Yes basically I am losing more than I gain. Its only the fact that I am out canvassing that means I am holding up my numbers.
When I canvass however I only get more of the same sort of customers. Not a spread of ages and backgrounds.

I have strong views about this but best keep them to my self or we will have a crazy debate on our hands, but yer m8 i feel for you i do belive that you are sitting on a time bomb, im just glad they capped the number of easter european people they aere letting in, as i know i lot of people thart are felling a strain from being under priced, specialy plumbers and painter.
Dont argue with a retard, they will just pull you down to their level and beat you with experience.

why all the negativity
as the window fed says everything needs to be cleaned sometime or is britain going to descend into a new dark age?? either the housing market will collapse like it did a few years ago or people will fill the gap you can't have your cake and eat it so why worry.

You are good at strategy Vince, use it to your advantage.
They are to biuld 80,000 homes near me and twice that in the region. Where you are(south) every patch of infill and ex factory site available are sought for homes.UPVC makes our job easier, the take up of conservatories has been phenonemal.

There is a move to bimonthly cleans, and maybe the ethnic group you mention want leafleting for once or twice yearly.Target the market.If you think Polish people work cheap, employ them.

The so called feds and groups that represent us should be addressing these issues. The fact that they are not and lack direction and a clear strategy is why even this new bunch will fail.
