I thought Billy was gay?

You 2 are only saying this because you know he's probably too knackered from Sunday to come and sort you out. Me I'm just too much of a coward to say it at any time.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Billy deserves all of the praise he can get very well deserved.

But I'm still not buying any champers, you lot will think I'm going soft in my old age (38 on Thursday so cards and private cheques sent to my special PO Box)

Well if Billy is as you say then I'm sure he'll put something in your special box

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Nothing will get up there as I'm a Yorkshireman and it's as tight as a ducks rs.

Did you know who call Jason today?

Hi Guys

Back to the original question , you make no mention of an internet presence.

I've got a big one and I've been busy all year

Doug,

I am about to revamp my crap website, but I am getting conflicting advice from my website designer.

How do people find you?

My web enquiries come via the website button on my Yell.com listing, but are you of the opinion that most potential customers Google 'Carpet cleaners in Timbuctu' (or whatever)?

Do you have to work quite hard at keeping your web listing on the first search page. I am thinking that beyond page 1 or 2 it is a waste of time.

Had yahoo on the phone yesterday offering me top spot on yahoo local £400,after going through my referrer details yahoo.co.uk did not even appear most comes from google 49.7%

Its definitely Geographical. Even when I was using Google adwords (ie paying) Yell.com beat it hands down.

[Paul Kettless]

Dead round these parts too... Booked 5 jobs in the last 2 weeks, and only a couple for next week.

Thank god I have the general cleaning side of the business, as it is the only thing paying the bills at the moment.

Have faith tho, sure it will pick up, convinced that the weather is playing a big part.

Bugger ,went and priced up a house today 2100 sq ft came out over £500.
They are moving to a huge barn conversion and will be renting the house out so they aint broke by any standard.She then went around house knocking rooms off saying this does not need doing , that does not need doing ect ect so had to measure the ones she did want doing again gave her the much reduced price of £140.She then asked if i would knock anymore off for cash ! there is a reason why people with money hang on to it ,cos they a tight gits !

Wouldn't bother with the oven cleaning, went to clean h/s/l last week at 10am, there was a guy there cleaning the oven got talking to him he had been there since 8.30. we both got done and packed away for 11 o clock and both got our cheques at the same time. I got £55.00 for the hour, he got £40.00 for the 2 1/2 hours up to the eyeballs in grease, if this is the going rate is it worth it. Is he cheap or is this the going frate ive no idea?

[collins ReVive Stoneworks]

40.00 is to cheap locally here they charge 55.00 to 85.oo

and they dont take two and a half hours either
