Re: work dead

nope ! last two weeks extremely quiet and way down compared to same dates last two years ! but its not just us hardly anyone is busy and yesterday when I went into town all the shops were kicking their heels ! Pending election, holiday problems, severe downturn in the economy all adds up to this I reckon and no matter who gets in I cannot see things changing in the near future, I think we have got a rocky ride ahead.

Lets hope that I am wrong and it all picks up after the general Election !

Re: work dead

Just had my first call of the day. We were sorting out an appointment and the woman asks “Do you have a call-out charge?”
I answer “Yes, whereabouts are you?”
She replies “Newton Mearns” which is Glasgow area. I keep getting calls for jobs in Glasgow, Paisley etc but the people are always vague about where they got my number :rolls:

Re: work dead

I can usually tell where they’re calling from by the number on the display. “No. withheld” or “not available” and I usually leave it for the answerphone. Ditto distant jobs. Ring them back if I feel like going for a long ride later in the week and can take in several. Local jobs usually get priority, unless they’re tumble dryers or Indesit, Servis, Nextra, Matsui, etc.
