Hi Mike, I dont know what its like over in England but here there is no building work whatsoever,which in turn has made competition for the few building jobs there is very fierce. In fact speaking to a few brickies i know prices have actually halfed from 2 years ago. A lot of big builders have went bust and a lot of sites are lying half finished. As to setting up a small building firm it was something I had thought of but again due to the surplus of brickies so has eveyone else. i guess this is what happens in a country that has an over reliance on 1 industry. And being realistic I dont see any upturn for at least 5 years,maybe then after iv made my fortune from carpet cleaning il diversify back into building again...

I really do use a hairdryer. Well at least on stains to see how effective the removal/treatment has been.

I went into my local ladies salon and stated I wanted the most powerful hairdryer you could get. And I wanted it for myself.

As I DON'T have Clinton's locks-quite the reverse really-they gave me a very funny look. Till I explained why I wanted it. Then they gave me an even funnier look 

You should have seen their faces when I asked for a pair of electric hair sheers and they jokingly asked if they were for trimming carpets. They didn't believe me when I said yes.
