met a trad windy on monday last working 3 doors down from me, he tells me he gets asked to do lots of connie roofs but dosen't take them on. We swap numbers. I've just done one thanks to him, boosted my week and he got a finders fee. Everyones happy. Not everyone is patch crazy.

As I have heard before "YOU CAN BUY AND SELL CUSTOMERS, BUT YOU NEVER OWN THEM", we have a large commercial , 10 thousand windows, but after over 100 companies have pestered and quoted, the have just given us another 3 year contract.

If they say anything I would just laugh at them frankly. Their patch? who do they think they are?

But keep a note of any car numbers etc just to be on the safe side and if you do get any bother go straight to the police. don't try and sort it yourself.

tool up (baseball bat/big knife etc... if your on your own) and tell em to bring it on! or better yet get a van full of mates to fight back with!

Ive waited for hours for people to show for a fight, never once have they showed up its all words! i think mostly they dont want to go to prison over a job! they are just bully's who target the weak!

and its only the weak who would be scared off by threats!

Exacly! you have a living to earn! dont back down or you will be running forever!
its not calling there bluff, you should think about it as you want them to show up!

Be ready! and take out the biggest one or the "leader" first (this old saying is very true) just go f@@king mental big time!
i would very strongly advise you to have some people with you though if possible as its very difficult to take on more than one person at once!

I would rather be dead than be a coward! but thats just me!

If your at all interested in real life street self defense follow my link... http://www.gracieacademy.com/

But as i said for multiple attackers you need back up or weapons!

 GB,
 
       Would you really advocate "tooling up" with a big knife and then going mental?

Theres a young guy round here started up 3 years ago. Hes up to 3 vans already. But all other wc I know hate him because in order to grow his business hes been reporting some of the other guys to the taxman. One guy has had to sell his house now to pay his tax's. Although he was legitimate.
