yet more hype
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.

According to this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7669072.stm my personal inflation is 6.8% so my recent price increases are fully justified  ;D

Won't be cutting prices but might not put any up, because of people's perceptions that everything should now be cheaper.

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

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.

I`ve had more people ringing new and old for weeks now asking when are you coming or for quotes for new work,there`s only a problem if it`s affecting you and you only.
