Len_derby Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 One of jobs is to hand-deliver approximately 1000 magazines to the same addresses each month. I have noticed a marked increase in new cars on drives, extensions being built, new bathrooms, new kitchens and general house and garden improvement projects. It’s a skip rat’s paradise! From talking to my neighbour, who’s had a hot tub and new decking put in, I think folk who have the cash (or credit) have spent their holiday and going-out money on other things.

Drax Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 It’s right though - there are certain pockets of society with more cash, upping demand. We’re a nation in debt, and everyone was offered ‘no questions asked’ payment holiday on mortgages, credit cards, car loan - regardless of means. Add this to cancelled social life and commuting costs - many households have ended up with more spare cash. Was at Jon Shuker’s last month and he said he’s been really busy since lockdown hit , hasn’t impacted orders at all, though is hitting parts availability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing how these firms just keep on getting work. Mrs. LBM used to work for a library authority that gave a lot of work to PWC. To this day she can't figure out what they ever achieved on behalf of the authority to justify the vast amounts of money that was spent on them.

Not to mention how many of these firms make huge contributions to a certain political party, quid pro quo? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tender process was followed when the government awarded a contract to Computacenter for laptops for schools, cutting companies like mine straight out of being able to compete.
