Hi, I thought I would bump this thread up again because it has been bothering me all week, I have watched it followed it and read the reply's with some interest (for obvious reasons) I cant help but come to the conclusion that the opening poster has been guilty of a serious misuse of the forum and posters, he started by asking for help with round valuation to which he got some very helpfull worthwhile replys,I even considered replying myself but felt, I couldn't contribute more than had already been offered.
These posters have taken time out of there busy lives and own business's to offer help to what looked a legitimate request with some well intentioned and thought out responses, when it eventually transpires the OP has no intention of retiring or selling up for 17 years making all the replys pointless as who knows what the landscape will be like in 17 years time 
If people post threads which are just a waste of good peoples time ,when ever a genuine post comes along fewer will be inclined to reply, I think the OP should apologize to all respondents and realize the possible damage he could have caused.
Many have benifited from help and advice on here and it should be praised and applauded for that reason not misused and abused.
I do not need to apolgize to anyone, and who are you to tell me I should? It was a genuine post asking for information from others in the tradeI am not considering selling at this moment, but if my other ventures in the cleaning industry start to bring in more income, then who knows? I may consider selling up sooner. I know of one other cleaner, who works in one of the villages I do, who as already said,he wants first offer on the work, if I decide to retire/move on. I am not wasting people’s time, and I am grateful for the responses. I do not need people like you to tell me what I can and can’t do, to be honest I find your post quite offensive, I have benefited greatly from advice given when I moved over to wfp,from another forum,.
