You and all of us...on Romney Marsh takings this year are down about 50%, which is 50% down on the previous year. We're all doomed I tell you. :sad:

So far this year my takings are almost the same as last year. I have not worked as many hours this year as I did last year.

Firstly, I was refering to the takings that I take from driving.
Secondly, Our drivers don't pay rent. most are on the books and the self employed ones only pay for the miles that they drive, which hasn't increased. The money they pay in goes to the limited company and not me.
