sorry to butt in mr gray
nwh DOES have a point
a lot of us dont like earnings posts

he is well clued up actually
i wouldnt admit that to him tho
obviously :

If you are earning £250 a day, what did you expect to gain from other peoples earnings?
Don't you know if you are doing well or not?

NWH

NEWBIE !! you really don,t have a clue do you ?

This newbie stuff is rubbish. Some people think cos they are older, been somewhere longer, or have a join date that exceeds someone elses, that they should dictate what can and can't be asked.

Whenever i hear that word, i normally think what an inadequate tosser.
Although i do like most of your posts nwh.

Only a few weeks ago you were claiming the credit crunch to be a media invention. I and a few others tried to explain the tidal wave that was heading towards our shores. Never in all out economic history has anything hit so suddenly or so profoundly.It barely registered on your radar Ewan, and it's this lack of awareness, this inability to think on your feet that holds you back.Mark Dew must mean you

The next lot of people under pressure are small businesses.

[mark dew]

You and the media Discount don’t tell me you will believe what they write about window cleaners.
  

I doubt it, but it's what the customer believes that could have a negative effect.

Depends on who your customers are, if you have a lot of customers who read and believe what’s in the tabloids you may have some comments but then again they probably not paying that much for there windows in the first place and know it’s not true.

Put it this way who really believes plumbers and brickies are the rich people in our society.

Don’t fools go for Discounts media make believe frenzy hype?

 

Ewan, i don't get you?

You post like a teenager who is in their 1st year of an economcs degree.
They are suddenly alan greenspan wannabes and want the world to know.
The perspective of your posts changes with the wind direction and it isn't disguised by paragraph after paragraph of of repetition.
  
Do you have a criteria for your potential customers before you take them on?

I am only concerned about the quality of my customers money and that it is forthcoming without any aggro.
I have no interest in what my customers believe or what they do outside of their dealings with me.
It would be arrogant to expect otherwise.

Obviously being a NEWBIE to an internet forum makes my window cleaning  knowledge null and void.

sorry I,ll start again

Please can someone tell me how to clean windows, should i still use leathers or is there a better way ? preferably mr NWH.

cheers
Ally

See told you he mean't you  Ewan and now you are in a fix because he's pretty much nailed you, but this is where you get the girlfriend to help out because she is quite smart.

Go on then get out of this one...

[simon123]

Sorry , what is this post about again ? 

[L.J.Thorpe]

ewan if you cant see a recession coming then you really are a thick twatt
does not mean you will go bust
but its coming mate

[simon123]

Am I right in thinking  that you have to have two negative quarterly figures before its classed as a recession ?

Hype? Ewan, are you blind? Does your mum do the shopping and pay the bills? I don't know where your head is but it seems buried in the sand.

[mark dew]

I can’t Influence the changes in the economy, but people like Discount and yourself run around like headless chickens talking about doom and gloom.

Are you referring to any of my posts in particular, cos i have no idea what you mean?

[L.J.Thorpe]

ewan the media dont make house prices fall
they dont make food prices rise
they dont make unemployment rise
etc. etc.

Na i`d stick to your chamois and flat cap mate,you aint even in the same town as me let alone street lol.

It’s not nice being pushed from pillar to post is it, do you think maybe you should take control?

I say that in all sincerity, but you are never going to get anywhere if to many outside pressures influence you from a day to day basis.

I am more than aware of the current headlines are and what condition the economy is in, so what would you like me to do? (By the way I have already done it)

Come now don’t be shy, lets here the answer.

 

The answer is to face up to facts and not to blame the media for the recession we are in. Your post was implying it was all hype whipped up by the papers and tv when it's pretty obvious prices are rocketing on basics like food and heating bills. House prices are crashing and unemployment is up. If you are the one who pays the bills  in the house it all becomes clear. This has nothing to do with hype.

It has a lot to do with window cleaning, as just about every business is likely to suffer an economic downturn. We are just going to have to go with it and adapt our businesses. I don't think our rising costs can be passed on to the customers completely we may have to adjust our frequency of cleans etc. just to hang on to custom. Discount has a good point in saying how bad for business the media could be if they were to pick up on the posts of the earnings boasters on this forum. Likewise after re-reading Ewans post he has some valid points too.

what a refreshing poll

under 150           -29 (40.8%)
150-200         -19 (26.8%)
200-250         -6 (8.5%)
250-300         -6 (8.5%)
over 300         -11 (15.5%)


more have kept it real, i think i know why, the poll didnt have the magical 500 quid mark ( which seems to turn even the most honest person into the biggest billy-liar the world had ever seen )
