Christmas stockings likely to be empty this Christmas
I was talking to my brother today and he tells me that the Credit Crunch has bitten so deeply now that he is offering rates for his Bournemouth painting and decorating services of as little as £10 an hour.
Since he is a highly experienced, hard working and able professional painter decorator, it shows the poor state of the trades currently that are associated with property and building maintenance.
As my brother said to me, if he charges any less, he will be below the minimum wage and would be operating illegally.
Let’s hope that the interest rate reductions made by the Bank of England have the effect of stimulating the economy soon, otherwise there are going to be a lot of very empty stockings hanging at the end of children’s beds this Christmas.
Bye for now
Rob
