"Sure, there are some customers who seem to manage, but in the main, people are skint..."
That`s a bad mindset Colin.
Okay, there`s money in Edinburgh where I work, but if you start thinking like that, Brrrrrrrrrrrr
I don't understand what you're getting at... Were you and Geoff at the same party last night..?
It's nothing to do with mindset, that's the way it is, lots and lots of people are waiting for pay day. Some of my regulars, have been awaiting their fate with yet more redundancies from the Navy. So perhaps it's geographical too....
I put out a special offer via email and have had over a dozen replies... a few of them said "We're skint because of Christmas" and some even asked if I would accept post dated cheques.
Like I've said to Geoff, I'm not doing too bad because I was expecting Jan to be poor so I planned for it. Sure, the sun and mild weather we've had has had the phone ringing, so weather has a large part to play too.
