I have a mate in Spain and he ain't allowed out of the house to walk his dog! That's how bad it could get here.

That's pathetic.....it wouldnt stop me.......you cant catch or pass on the virus by walking your dog...... ::)roll
The police will stop you plus they're now talking about a £1000 fine here for anybody that's told to self isolate and doesn't, unfortunately that's what happens when stupidity and panic take hold.

i doubt that very much....the police have been cut down to the bare bones round here,crime and drug dealing are seriously out of control.....i doubt theyll be arresting me for walking my dog sean! ;D ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!

When I get to the office I fully expect a barrage of cancellations. I had two on Friday but it's escalated since then, well on Facebook anyway.
How did you get on this morning?

Be very interesting to see how some of the opening batsman on here are getting on with all those direct debit customers,I wouldn’t want half a dozen staff upwards at the moment all on the books.
Monthly bonus if they can stay isolated for 4 weeks lol,I bet there is a fair few people taking advantage of that at the moment as well.

Ok the 3s and 4s so called big hitters I see it’s all gone quiet on that front on here,that’s the thing with life one minute you’re eating in a Michelin star restaurant the next thing you are eating a crap sandwich lol.
Like I say not exactly the same situation but this is what happened to big companies in this industry about 10-12 years ago,huge contracts one minute covering the south next minute an email saying we no longer need your services.

The only thing that people that are seriously rich need to worry about is not getting this virus.

At a guess I’d say he’s doing a lot better than the NSS / Archer type firms who are 100% commercial.

Makes no difference any company like that will take a hit because it’s down to fear from people,commercial that’s obvious they’ll just lose them domestics it’s a guess

Sorry didn’t mean they’d automatically lose them some they won’t,anyone cleaning pubs or restaurants will do though I would think.
The last thing in there minds at the moment would be got to get the windows cleaned,if I had this type of work I wouldn’t clean it without the heads up the chances are you’ll be cleaning it and not getting paid.

I’ve also seen his lads cleaning a house near me, I just assumes they were moonlighting as I thought he’s commercial only.
