Hursty Bit rich of Merkel when 800 plus Germans died yesterday. Seems like the variant is already there.

Hursty My wife
Dan How is she dealing with it? Has she literally been kicking back in terms of normal ‘work’ since then? Will she have a job to go back to?
Hursty She’s struggling to be honest mate. Luckily my overtime has filled that 20%loss. It’s not forever and she wasn’t made redundant….thank fuck.

You buy it outright? Fair play.

Dan Fair one, I can imagine there are all sorts of issues arising from sustained furlough. Hope it all works out in the end 👍

I’ve had my own business for nearly 20 years and this pandemic has hit really hard. If it doesn’t pick up in the next few months I may close it and start something else.

Hard to speak outside of my immediate area but things will start to pick up. Problem is we haven’t really hit the post-COVID recession which is coming. The personal hardships will start to see an end but the economic issues could be with us for a while yet. Best of luck my man.
Dubman Sorry to hear that Dub, it’s a travesty, it really is. 20 year business.
Dubman sorry to hear that mate, it’s a heavy price to pay.
Dubman home improvements will definitely pick up in a few months mate, don’t you worry about that
Fingers crossed for you dm! Things will hopefully pick up as restrictions ease in the coming months.
Along_the_Wire I’m hoping it will. But going on the first lockdown and once all the DIY stores and trade shops opened. People started doing it themselves. I did speak to my local store managers and they all said that most of their sales was to the general public. Just hoping people have made a bodge job and want it done properly.
Plenty of work for you at mine Dubman.
I haven’t got a fucking clue so you can rip me off like the roofers did.
Smallman1 I wouldn’t work in London anymore but if I did. I certainly wouldn’t rip you off.
That is actually really refreshing to hear.
You’re a good man Dubman.
Smallman1 Believe or not but most of us tradesmen are decent people. You should always get multiple quotes and always ask friends & family members who have had work done.
