So you agree a 50 quid an hour rate plus parts then?..



Sounds good to me - when do I start?


Ah!, can't find any paying punters mate;!..

They want you to work for bugger all..


That'll be the Poles, I expect....

Why should it be them?, I've several people ask me can I look at their
Hi-fi, Telly, radio whatever and fix it on the cheap!..



Seriously I'm bloody glad I don't run a domestic retail or servicing
place, can't think of much worse;!....


Every business on the planet depends on the same thing for its success -
getting the supply and demand equation right. Should be simple enough
but, unfortunately, there's a lot can go wrong and many more businesses
fail than succeed. Offhand, I'd say the demand for repair work is on the
decline (for any number of reasons) and anybody that had been looking to
make a living from it should be thinking of supplementing his income
with other work....

Yes quite what's happening from some sectors especially consumer grade
equipment's, still we'll just dig out some more gravel to chuck that
into;!.



Supplementing the income.. Working all hours to keep up with all that
friggin government paperwork!..
