Not trying to start any arguments. What is the reason you’re working? Is it because money is tight, bored, you need routine, fear of losing your customers,  fear of not getting the 80%, you haven’t declared much profit?

Surely if someone offered you 80% of your net profit to stay at home and chill you’d do it, right?

Who is offering us 80% of our net profit to stay home and chill?

Would you like to try again?

So your reason to go to work on Monday is that you don’t believe you will be given 80% of your net pay from the government?

There, I tried again.

Still got it wrong though.

The bit I highlighted in italics for you in my first post.

When did Rishi say that?  I heard him say that we could claim the 80% and carry on trading.

And to be honest if i carry on working and the government doesn't cough up then i wont be dissatisfied, maybe thats why they are telling window cleaner s and gardiner s to carry on so they can say you have all been working so no cash for you guys

He didn't say you couldn't. Is it that frightening a prospect for you?
Busby asked a question; either answer it or chill.
I think it's a fair question.

I am baffled by this . I don't get as much as most on here in earnings . the bragging and advise seems to have stopped .
they seem to be the ones going to work , panicking .
and all the advice and posts I have done get ignored  . like  I am a numpty.

exposes them . they all feel like tits working because they know its like working on Christmas day .
no body would work in this climate unless they really have to.

Fair questions have to be honest; it was based on a false premise.  The self employed are not going to be given 80% to 'stay home and chill'.

That implies that the government want us to stop working.

They don't.

Wasn't he the one who wanted police and army snipers shooting anyone who broke curfew?

Sounds like a mentalist to me.

It's Og; you know, Perfect Clean?
It's a joke because someone keeps replying to the wrong post.

You've been on the cider again.  I'm going to make a decent guess that your apology for posting when drunk and getting on like a mentalist was made when you were drunk.  And you're repeating it all again.

You used to be known as Sparrow Legs.  I remember you now.

A good suggestion would be to step away from the keyboard, but I don't think you will.

I'll put my 80% worth in: I think it's all of the above. Maybe the last one not as much.
I don't blame anyone for working for valid reasons but some that I read are a little worrying. I can't believe the nervousness among a lot of window cleaners. I had one on the phone last night telling me what he was doing and how he'd lost customers before, after a spell out. I didn't tell him that a lot of people don't like him anyway.
A lot of window cleaners don't realise how serious this is. They are nervous but for the wrong reasons.

I do that at all the cider-fuelled hysterical posts.

This place would be boring without them.

You're a little late to the party, Jim.
We did all the emotional stuff last week. We're all more hardened to this and accepting of others' points of view.
Only a very select few have not really been affected it. Even those that returned last week didn't do so without a lot of mental anguish. Those trying to play it cool are not really fooling anyone.
It's a lot easier for me because a lot of it is out of my hands anyway. But what I'm doing is right in my mind and I'm unwavering in that.
