So how’s the e-bay spares selling experiment going Martin? I had high hopes of that.
Mike.Re: work dead

Good question Mike….In fact I’ve taken a side-step with another mate on the eBay thing and no longer do it directly…can’t elaborate much beyond, but suffice to say I’m hopeful the world wide wonder will help toward funding my dotage…. 😀

Re: work dead
Hello, 3 weeks now its been very quiet, if it was not for the warranty work & sales i doubt i could make ends meet, its the same old story Cuts are mentioned again on the news and people stop spending, how long can companies that have overheads like shops, staff on the road etc carry on ?, maybe its just us in the south west at the moment, i spoke to a service agent who works for one of the manufactures he covers Devon & Cornwall averaging about 3 jobs a day !.
Re: work dead
Yep, the last 3 weeks have been awfull!! If I could have predicted it I would have taken them as holliday. Just about managed to make a small wage this week but it really isnt good!!
Where are all the good jobs these days? I cant remember the last time I fitted a circular fan element to an oven or a pump to a washing machine. It seems to be all the c**p jobs that are filtering through if any at all .
Im just glad in a way that it isnt only me because at the start of it I was begining to think it was and the paranoia was kicking in..Re: work dead
Im not going to get too exited yet but phone was busy on Saturday morning and today so far has been positive, have a few calls for today and tomorrow, i had Indesit contracter exchange a new machine this morning, they are busy and said have been most of the year, mainly delivering the cheaper end washer for B&Q, Kays, internet etc..
Re: work dead
work stopped again here aswell 🙁 the uncertain work situation can really get you down,me thinks other avenues may need looking in to,but not certain which to take,plus more costs involved for training/equiptment.any one else thought of a new venture?ah well rant over stay cool 8)
Re: work dead
its been patchy for the last three weeks, ticking over as they say but nothing spectacular ! Mind you if we have no fuel then what ?
Re: work dead
That’s very odd, there’s already a “work dead” thread started also by adv that runs to pages and pages…. now we have another one on the go. :rolls:
Oh and yes it is a bit quiet……Easter coming up….sun shining all day every day…..garden’s looking lovely….swimming pool almost ready for use…..barbecue already been christened (twice) this month…….. 8) 😀
