How much more will it cost after October to run your lecky vehicles compared to when you bought them Victor?

[Ggh]

Please don't take out your loose panic button on me Soupy. That's the third time you have imputed a bad motive to my posts.

I try and offer a view that isn't full of negativity like yours seems to be. Maybe offer some guidance and/or advice to ameliorate the situation yourself?

I'm not panicking, much like you - I'll be alright, Jack.

I'm not however going to come on here and impute that the hardships that are on the looming horizon are the fault of those stupid enough not to have customers who are somehow immune to spiralling energy costs.

If you look at everything through Eeyore shaped spectacles then you will impute negativity in my posts. Nowhere have I mentioned others being stupid.

Is it not all coming from your own warped view? And not a word of practical suggestion as to what to do comes from you either. You seem incredibly quick to jump to complain - with little fortitude or patience.

You spend a lot of time on here. Have a look through your last couple of dozen posts. Ask yourself, how many are helpful to your fellow cleaners and how many of them are hot air and memes in the yip yap section criticising and moaning with not an iota of help whatsoever?

Yes, Souperman needs to replace all his risky customers with affluent retirees immediately. Job jobbed. Surprisingly easy I’m sure.

80% more.

[Arnold Palmer]

There's a few steps that I can take to mitigate the situation. Our yard isn't covered by the price cap so we've already stopped charging here, I'm getting dual meters fitted at all charging locations (cheaper at night, higher through the day) that should help but I can't give a firm answer on how much more I'll be paying yet.

Cheaper between 1-5am someone mentioned to me last week.

You do realise that not every address in the country will be paying £3549 a year for energy …. This is your average user , much like the average house price in the uk is  £281,161 , it doesn’t mean every house is valued at £281,161 .
The average family holiday to Spain cost apparently around £2k per trip , does this simply mean that families will lose out on a holiday a year and it’s not actually the end of the world….. just an alternative way of looking at the situation.

Yurp.



Don't know why they keep framing it with "average household price". I'm pretty sure most people understand how their electric bill works?

Exactly, it’s scare mongering .  Dazmond won’t be paying £3549. We know everyone is on the same tariff but we won’t all have the same bill.

Prices have risen 189% in 12 months, that's not scare mongering. It's profiteering by the energy producers.

The energy companies make as a percentage of your total bill as profit is 2%.  You'll be wanting them to pay you soon won't you, you feeble eyed whining old wind bag.

Stop the abuse please.

The energy suppliers maybe, the energy producers like I specified are making "record profits".

If you want to continue discussing energy bills, grants, government policy and similar take it to the "Gas Bills" thread in the any other business section.

id rather just dump the house and replace with an easier job

You say that, although in practice you didn't do that . You where trying to kid the customer by spraying a window, got caught and then cancelled 

So what's the difference? If i dumped it i wouldnt have the job and if she cancelled I wouldn't have the job so whats the harm in trying.

I don't even know if that's why she cancelled, im just assuming as she's always banging on about have I cleaned the side window.

[Stoots]

I'm sure a simple " I cant reach that window" would have worked wonders

Pretending to clean it was a bit of an odd thing to do...

Told her this numerous times, she told me to clean it via next doors garden. I did this once and it was a pita reaching over the garage.

Nevermind she can find someone else to do it I have much easier stuff to be doing.

We’ve now taken the approach of offering a two clean holiday for any that cancel and mention the cost of living crisis. Four in the last two days and three have taken it up. I’m not normally flexible on these things but needs must.

With luck the government will adopt something that comes close to the Labour plan. Addressing just the most needy will do nothing for the economy as those people have nothing to spend anyway! Obviously something needs doing for businesses too. Worrying though what the current PM was saying about this being the price we need to pay to defeat Putin.

80% increase announced by Ofgem.

October is going to be shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

You are such a drama queen  what will be will be we cannot alter it , still don’t think it’s going to make much difference to our customer base .

Or you could just replace them with customers who can afford the service.

That will be a shrinking number and that’s the problem and one of the reasons our take up is so much lower this year. Have you any constructive suggestions as to how to ensure we build that in to our marketing?

We don’t take on or target cheaper houses 90% of our customers are well healed and not short  of money , they are business owners , or have more than one house , are  semi retired or retired , or work from home  this hasn’t come about by accident it’s been my plan from the day I started and now we have well over 4,000 customers in this situation, ime not stupid enough to think we won’t lose some work but due to our client base hopefully it will be minimal  losses . When building a customer base you need to plan ahead and not just take on anything, the ones that will feel the pinch are ones living in council houses or similar and ime not putting these  people down but it’s just an unfortunate fact that they will be hit first and the hardest
