he's not alone, i have had loads of lads calling in the shop asking for work, i keep to the same lads who have been with me for 20 years so i can't help them. a lot of our trade is struggling right now, hence my comment that i'm a lucky so and so. i tell all the staff that we grab it whilst we can, quite possible our turn will come.

£280 for a house is good though. I bought my flat 4 years ago fit £116,000. If only I'd waited 4 years I wouldn't have needed a 30 year mortgage.The Flash said:I bet it's crammed.

I suppose it depends onn the business mate. A lad who used to work for me, has set up a second hand shop with his brother. They are fucking raking it in! He bought a whole house for £280 quid the other week, and sold three items for £400. His shop is so rammed, he has just rented a lock up as well.
Hope your's picks up.

We had a steady start to the year....May and June were excellent, turnover well up....July and August absolute shite, it died on its arse, battled like fuck to break even.....September hasn't started great either......it is very up and down, I can judge if it's just me or the industry through my Wholesalers and there trends were exactly the same....so hopefully a little upturn is around the corner, just a couple of decent months will do
