I don`t know if anyone watched a programme on TV last night about how the chinese community cope in England.

Yes, i saw that program. It was very sad. I wrote my earlier post after watching that.

Too public in the towns and cities maybe, but i could quite happily work/train alongside a couple of those chinese in the countryside here (until i get caught that is).
And for better pay than a few pound coins and a beating every so often.
I spent 4 years in south korea trying to get some cash together (economic refugee??) and felt alot of sympathy.

No I didnt honest  ;D started with one house on the estate priced at £7 for 8 windows, can't very well put the prices up yet and I think £10 is a little steep, even I can knock 3 of them out in a hour and thats taking it easy. bound to bump into him soon though   ::)

3 of them in an hour!!

£10 is still a good price.

Don't undercut people, it's not nice!

I am not undercuting >:( I know what I need to earn and  £21 an hour is good enough, for me the definition of undercuting is to know what someone is charging for a job and quote a lower price, I have not done that intentionally, I decided a price with the first job and have kept that for the rest, "shame on me" John  you're havin a laugh how do you know what is the right price for the region, N&W working for £30 an hour congratulations you really are in the class of high earning domestic window cleaners.
