My gf charges £18 per head and has 4 other full time cutters in her shop. But the rent is 40k a year before any bills are paid.

Are they 2 box new saws Khriss?

 

Is that a trading course?

 

If not, I am now fully converted and convinced that “refresher training” has a valid claim to legitimacy!!

Agreed it’s all smoke and mirrors Rupe!

 

Was chatting to the girl sharpening my pencil the other day...

 

They are “self employed” but get told their hours and give a share of each cut to shop owner - no punters, no income!

 

I wouldnt change places....

 

PLEASE! Re-word your text above!!!  I’m experiencing extreme anxiety trying to suppress the wholly inappropriate smart ass comment that is bursting to escape....

Her employees are all full time paye holidays etc. No punters and they still get paid. Lucky the shop is rammed most days.
