I was sat in a quaint little cafe in the same village, and I normally run an advert in the village each month as thus is where i have rapidly grown.
(my average price however is £20 in this area)

Any ways,,,,,i was talking to the staff plus owners and asking them if they have noticed a change recently due to all this panic business.
They were saying how in the last 2 days which are usually very busy this time of the week. (I can confirm that as its hard to get a table in the cafe at the time i was there and I was the only one in) they have seen a drop in business and its likely to last at the moment.
Hence my tongue in cheek advert.

Lol its funny how you say it looks desperate......😂😂  yea right!  Its business as usual and i slightly changed an advert to fit the local area 😉
yet, view it as you may lol.
So far, though I have picked 2 jobs up since posting and for my average price, so win win

Lets see what response i get for this little advert, ive just posted on a village facebook page




Nathan if your basic price is £12  you will need to up those £10 ones again that you upped twice at the end of last year.
I wonder is there a virus that causes delusion and if so have you informed your customers that you may be infected ? lol.

Nathan,

Why are you over complicating things again!

Just work/advertise as normal, you don’t need to mention the virus at all.

To get from A to B takes me 5 minutes. For you it means going to C, back to A then to D, before going to B.

Get the idea? Stop overdoing everything!

Dread to the think how many bells and whistles you now carry round your waist at work!

😜

Haha,   so if we dont mention the C word, then no one panics   ;D :D :D   
You lot make me laugh, you follow the crods n general opinions on this forum!  Takes one person to take it negatively and everyone follows suit.
Wow its a bit like the panic buying that ones are doing 😁😁😁

Its a general advert with a virus thrown in, get over it people.  How is that taking the long way around

However your right, i need to amend the advert to mention that if required i can use the all powerful pure water to help wash their hands afterwards 😂😂😂😂😂

Get real people, it spreads through the mouth, nose n eyes.   So maybe i should wear my mask when working as well to be fully free and advertise that 😂😂😂.
Let people panic, who cares. Come xmas people will panic buy cause the shops shut for a day 😂😂 in other words people will react however they wish and we certainly can not control that.  My advert is a little fun and going by the people who have dm me, they agree and see it like that.

I mentioned before about building a new round whilst i sell off some older rounds to bring a new leash of life to cleaning glass.  I am successfully doing so.
Yet to clarify, if anyone advertisers their business its desperation  ::)roll ::)roll

However with schools not closing and other group things which we participate in, along with ongoing bad luck with various illness in the family. Your probably right Daz, im sure at some point we will probably catch it.   Anyone with kids knows, that when one catches it, it works through the family 😥.     Self isolate is a little impossible when you have a young family unless you drive yourself into an early grave trying to do so  ::)roll

Obviously the above is a joke and the fact you lot suck it up is even worse!

Ones who have died compared to the percentage of ones having it is very little indeed. Ones who are, also have other underlying issues and so it isnt the corona virus itself that kills but a combination of things.
Like i said, you cant win can you.  Either its stiring up the masses or upsetting the few......

Guess what, this aint going to be the worse virus to hit the world nor the worse thing to take place.

Nathan i always normally defend you, but this is way below the belt mate on this occasion.  People are panicking and lots of businesses are closing down and people dying all over the world.  Don't think making light of it or using it as a way to get GoCardless clients is really the way to go.  ??? ???

My mate has it and he's had worse colds, that said the kicking I'm going to give him for causing me and the Mrs to be stuck indoors together for the next two weeks may kill him.
Unless you or a family member has an underlying illness then its nothing to worry about.

It's the elderly and those with underlying health problems that have stuff to worry about.  For most of us, we're just going to have a cold.  For a tiny minority things are going to be serious.

So call on an elderly neighbour; make sure they have your phone number; and tell them to call if they need any shopping/prescriptions picking up/a chat.

Keep calm and remember you're British.
