I don't go near the shops in my town centre. The politics down there are much too complicated for my liking. I picked up a bed shop down there at christmas to be done 3 times a week. It was horrible getting questioned about everything.
" How much you charging?" "Thats my business!"
" Are you insured?" " Of course!"
" Want to buy some shops?" " What £20000, for £200 a weeks worth of work. No thanks mate!"
There is about 6-7 different lots of lads down there and within about 3 months I'd seen the hand bags out enough times to want to get out of there. Some of the people down there were potential stomach ulcer type of stressed over losing their work. I couldn't hack that, worrying that if just once I missed a day eight other guys would be canvassing my work ' Just in case.' I remember one guy telling me that the other self employed window cleaner hadn't had a day off in about 16 years.
Whats the point.
