Iv working with the magistrates court in manchester sorting out the parking on their car carpark but thats the closest iv got to working for anything goverment based. It land owners that have problems with people parking on their private property. Its probably NCP that won the tender for st helens council. They are a massive company and its the same as anything else, its who you know not what you know. My company isnt one of the cowboy outfits you see on watchdog. 100% legit and above board and im proud of it. Started it myself and have lads over twice my age working for me and making a very healthy profit. Thats why i get annoyed when people have a go....

JSMC please read above mate and see if you understand where im coming from. I totaly understand their are twats out there that pick on innocent people and rob them but my company isnt one of them. No hard feeling mate but i think you would also defend a comapny you worked hard to build at the age of 21 (im 22 now)

Cheers danny. Just a niche market mate that as you can see some people dont like  ;D.
Ye JSMC they are trying to bring it in the new year. I think the whole security industry need tightening up but it just seems that because wheel clamping lends it self to earning easy money that alot of idiots have got into it and just ruined the whole thing. Wheel clamping is needed no matter what anyone says. Private tickets arent worth the paper they are printed on (unlike council tickets)

I've recently started a contract cleaning company with my brother - Footprint Cleaning Ltd >> www.footprintcleaning.com

It's in the early stages, looking forward to marketing it in 2011.

I do a bit of web design,.. to be honest it makes a fraction of the money per hour that window cleaning does, but its better than nothing when the weather makes shining impossible.

I've just helped my mrs setup a business making organic soap. Its actually quite enjoyable to make (Even though I normally get stuck with the job of packaging it up) and even though she only just started selling a few weeks back, she's doing really well at it,.. mostly ppl buying gifts this time of year. If business is still as good after Xmas I may retire & let her bring home the bread! ;)

window cleaning pays the bills and leaves me with a fair whack for bad weather days  and holidays/clothes/new equipment etc!! ;D ;D

i dont have time for other businesses!my business is cleaning!!and i love it most of the time even when its snowing i can at least get out for a few hours work usually.

i make all the money i need to have a reasonably comfortable life!!

i cant ask for more than that really in these harsh economic times.

I sell pictures from time to time, but it's too inconsistant to rely on.

Sometimes two in a month, sometimes nothing for 6 months.
