I havn`t lost 1 customer and we learnt from the early 90`s,if your a WC and your losing work at a silly quick rate your round is so easy to picture in my head.In this current climate the last thing you want is middle aged custies with 2.4 children you will lose tons of work within 6 months i reckon,and my last 2 penneth worth to cheer up people on here is those who have custies that pay through paypal,if i was you i would stop doing it that way at least for the next year or so,it`s so easy to drop the WC an email and tell him not to bother anymore rather than telll him to his face.It might seem like a good quick way to get paid but not the way things are at the moment.

Trouble is, there isn't enough of "your type of work" to go round the whole nation of w'cers. If there was, there wouldn't be a problem, would there? there is only so much cream to go round so many cat's!! People can't just go out & get a full round of "cream" man, think outside your own little world for once! Remember, it took you AND your family YEARS to get what you've got!!! ;)

We have been suffering a lot of commercial losses here.  Gone from crazy busy to just about enough for 5 days a week and no O/T, in about 3 months it seems.

I went back to ladders on a few streets where it didn't go down too well.  Great decision, work came flooding back in.  I picked the areas where we wern't saving much time ditching the ladders.  If things carry on, its going to have to be more widespread though.
