Maybe you oughta to give us a business plan on how to run a repair
bizz
in the 21st century Keith?.

Just what would you need to charge to cover ALL the costs
involved?......


More or less what I asked Keithie earlier with no reply.


'Give' is the operative word here - spoken like a Cambridgeshire
shopkeeper, Tony....



OK, *FOC* (as ever) I'll *give* you some key phrases to get you started:


'It'll need a new motor'....


'The clutch will have to be replaced'...


'The chimney needs repointing'...


'It's obsolete and you can't get the parts any more'...



Asitappens, 'repair' and servicing charges appear to an almost universal
50-55 quid per hour plus parts (necessary or not) - whether or not
you'll make a living at it depends how much you are prepared to scam
your punters, from what I can see of it...


If you went back into business how much would you expect to earn an hour?

Look around you at house prices etc before giving a figure 20 years out of
date.
