is the business getting slow?

ive just looked at our books and realised we have been going down consistently in terms of bookings.

The supermrkets are not as busy, or the casinos and the housecall has been up and down but on a consistent downward trend.

its a worrying trend, anyone bucked it?

Heading home from Glasgow in the car on Saturday night/Sunday AM and stumbled into what appeared to be rush hour traffic about 0.5 miles from the City Centre, only every vehicle ahead and behind was a Taxi or PHV.

I think retail is having one big bad Xmas, and that effects us. :sad:

I also think the supermakets aren't exactly flying, and that effects us. :sad:

But I have had a very good year. :D

the pubs are empty,

the supermarkets are like any other time of the year,

the hotels are slow,

and the weekend isnt anything special.

sometimes it disheartens me being a boss and all, that this could be the start of the end.

i hope trade picks up but its never been this bad.

It will go back up as long as the boss believes he can get it back up.

If not then it is ver much the beginning of the end.

Just do what all of your brother owners do, and put the radio rent up to cover your losses.
