Most countries have a deficit, very few have a large surplus of cash Japan being the exception but that amount is still relatively small even comparing it to itself.

Besides if the Government sold BP they could pay the deficit off put the change in the bank so the UK will have a huge surplus, and who ever buys BP will have to charge us less for the fuel especially for our vehicles because of OPEC.

This stuff is easy; don’t know what’s up with the politicians, oh yes I remember now. 

That may be true Ewan, but do you, like me, wonder who the hell they are borrowing all that money from?

If I was starting out right now, this is what I would do.
I would advertise a dial a clean service, yes you would still pick up regulars, but I think there is a niche market for a clean when you want service.
I wouldn't want someone doing it in my area, because I know that many of my customers would be happy if they only had them cleaned every three months, or whenever they thought the windows really needed it, at least 10% of my customers are not glad to see me, the faces on some of them when I knock for my money is like a smacked bum.
Of course, a dial a clean service would need to command a premium price, I bet you would get it too.

It seems that you all forgot to mention that your Language meaning (ENGLISH) is bringing billions and billions of £££££ to this country, every day , don’t worry what politicians tell you about this country is in recession   , its all hype.
This country is very rich and not many people know it.

u can clean windows with 2 cloths ste!its called "ragging".thats what all wc used to do before mop/squeegys back in the early 90s!i damp scrim little openers then polish with dry microfibre.they come up great!mop/squeegy everything else.i use the same "ragging" techniques on leaded and georgian if they are a regular 4 weekly clean.

regards dazmond

no no no daz, this was not as you describe mate, this was to old dirty cloths. when i first moved into my new house the old window cleaner just turned up and cleaned my windows without asking, i let him as i thought 'agh well lets see how good he is', he used the same technique on my leaded windows and they looked crap afterwards. no scrims just old cloths that you would use for ledges

Lol i was thinking that as well ewan, think you could end up working all week doing one of cleans and be busy,  but think you would need a min charge which is good as you could charge more i really think dai has opened an opportunity for us all there

I find your way of thinking odd Boshravie. You appear to be trying to make out that giving to charity is good, but then stipulate that if you can sort out money issues you wont have any worries in life.


Life is far more than just money.

Are you just shallow or a good samaritan?

You have two very different and conflicting views.

UK and USA borrowing money from China, India and Swiss, as(at the moment) they have more cash than anybody else
Switzerland has more gold reserves than any other country in the world and they will never be in recession

Where do you get your info from mate?

The Swiss have 38.15 billion worth of gold reserves.

USA has 298.4 billions worth.

That's according to CNBC anyway.
