[drive surgeon]

been out canvassing with leaflets, : so many filthy driveways full of moss, weeds, algae, lichen and oil but no response!  dont no how some people can leave their drives to get so bad!

 my new flyers say "dont let santa slip on your driveway cos he might throw a claim in against you and leave no presents for the kids"!   ha ha ha

someone said today the recession is set to continue through into the spring or even summer!!
 

[simbo]

longer than that, it will be around 18 months! scary

[drive surgeon]

oh my god no!

[clinton]

Show us your flyer

[drive surgeon]

i was kidding about the santa flyer!

[drive surgeon]

jesus its quiet out there!  a number of reasons! 

1. the crunch (business's and domestic households being tight) 

2. christmas looming 

3. weather 


soon as the recession is over it should be booming as moss is covering everywhere with the damp! 

[drive surgeon]

was off work today.  went to the hairdressers, it was empty which it never is,  then went to the driving range and guess what?  i was the only one there, both places said they are really quiet and are worrying about the next couple of months. god its not just me!

[russell morgan]

we all say this, but look how much was raised for children in need, also the new james bond film made a box office record on its first night, so there is still money out there

[drive surgeon]

they must have made james bond and children in need priority!

[russell morgan]

i do carpet cleaning, and this is the busiest time of the year for us, always has been, used to be busy for car valeting too when i used to do that, iv been really busy the last few weeks, i think you have to have a positive attitude, you have already admitted defeat by the sounds of it

[drive surgeon]

no mate i have been out networking alot and cold calling and delivering leaflets.  just quiet on my front.
will have to review the next year.

[russell morgan]

its certainly not the best time for any business, but i do think the press have a lot to answer for, seems to be a lot of people starting up in business too recently, apparantly business link have had a record number of enquiries the last few months

[drive surgeon]

i can imagine!

[drive surgeon]

very quiet now     christmas beckons    then january!

I know some one down in the south east that does presure washing, mainly drives etc. He says its quiet in the winter months. Its mainly a summer job he says.

i dont know the kit you have he has a diesel presure washer install in the back of his van. Lovely bit of kit.


He said wont pick up till february... possibly later
