Maybe if and when the fuel issue really hits home it's effect will be more noticeable.

Im sure if Putin carried out his gas and oil threats things would be lots different, the threat of fuel supply issues hasn't had any effect so far.

Im also sure if Russia no longer supplied our gas and oil the govt would jump in similarly to two years ago until we'd got back on our feet again regards reliable fuel supplies.

Another roof cleaning job today.

Stupid money.

What a moss job you mean.

[Klean07]

Work is flying in at the moment which is usual for March. Petrol prices are rising fast though.

[james peters]

the media like to hype this up.
its the established view that its an extra £1000 per household . per year
thats £20 per week
my profile targeted customer doesn't even notice this I hope ?

I hope im not wrong , but its 30 years for me now and I havnt found any difference when these things happen .
of course this could be different 

[NWH]

Everything is going up.

[windowswashed]

Got the war medal, would rather lose work than be involved in WW3  as we the world, are pushing the madman's citizens financially and cyber wars, aiding with supplying military weapons and support in other ways.

If It, (heavens forbid) ever comes,  window cleaning will be the least of our worries.  Best to get your price rises in now

It’s the established view that the current price increase for the average home will be £693 now and could be an extra £350 in October plus the possibility of another £1,000 a year if it all goes pear shaped regards the war in the Ukraine. And after today’s announcement by the E.U, U.S.A. and U.K. it’s going in that direction.

So that’s £150 a month extra. That’s huge for some people. If your customer demographic is 20/30/40 something year olds I’d be expecting some cancellations.

I think we’re spoilt as well, our wage can increase very quickly if we want.

People on set wages suddenly find they’re £150 a month less off, that’s a big chunk for the working population under 50 with big mortgages etc.

I don’t think I’ll mose much at all, most of my customers are older and fairly wealthy, but I do anticipate a slow down in new customers come the next winter.

Some of our best friends are teachers, both on high 30’s salary’s, they’re feeling the pinch already. It’s set wages that wallop them. They’ve got a nice merc with a loan, recent mortgage, 2 kids etc etc, so the Inflation is really effecting them, they are seeing less money in the bank each month. Of course, 12 months ago they were fine, no one could have predicted it…

People with large domestic rounds in working class areas may well see a significant drop in customers.

It’s such an individual issue, one thing I am annoyed about is having to shell out £140 for diesel! Just feels wrong!

[dazmond]

My predicted extra cost for my gas and electricity combined is just over £500 a year....I think ill manage.....

Good post and all very true Zesty.

My Mrs is a teacher and has just moved up a scale and got a £1600 per year pay rise that she was (rightfully) delighted with.

In window cleaning terms that’s equivalent to the £140 monthly office that I’ve just taken on. We are very lucky in this game.

If you've got the spare time to do a £140 office. Some like yourself seem to have spare hours, some don't.

That’s true. If you’ve not got spare time to fit in an extra 2 hour job each month then you should be doing just fine already anyway.

Mad isn’t it!

Bought some BP stock yesterday  😜

The first time I’ve looked is today I always put the good diesel in and I paid £1.86 a litre at a BP lol.

Not off to a good start, 3.3% down today.

[Mike Banks]

Well, I agree with the last few years issues were all fine with us.  I thought this war will not matter too much either.  However last week saw a few cancels, this week, loads of cancels, both commercial and domestic  on many locations.  All with the same sort of reasons - I will be doing my own for the time being due to cost of living rising blah blah blah,  We need to make some cuts to budget blah blah blah.   Picked up a few more anyhow, but losing more than gaining over the last 7 days.   

Some may think they are fine, but wait, hell will be coming over the next month with all the news in the media scaring people.  Our cost of living has gone up, and we may have a drop in income too.    I am sure it will soon bounce back anyway, so hold tight. 

I know someone who started out last summer who had closed doors down due to saturation and lack of interest.

I bought $200, so pocket moneys worth, 2 days ago, I was $50 up, today only $19 up.

It’s not a short term though, BP is one to watch for the longer term investment.

I only do it for a bit of fun/extra cash really, though I do make a small amount of money.

You have my sympathies mate. I think if everyone who posts on here told the truth we'd see that we're all losing some customers.
