Few people have said to me lately they are exceptionally quiet. Not sure what the answer is really. Typically you'd expect the phones to start ringing this time of year. No doubt the political uncertainty over brexit is making some people cautious of spending money

thats where i would put my money on the Brexit thing, but if Mr Gove gets the coke deal with Columbia sorted money will not be a problem for any one of us ??????

Possibly did my last Tree job this week , not worth the hassle no more .

Am losing my Confidence and not  got the get up and go now .

I was not particularly full time Tree work but it always filled the gaps and got me out over the  winter months while grass was having a rest .

Far to many at it now and the Travelling paternity are out in force ,,,from Scrap to Timber .

Folk are watching there pennies more and the younger household generation have not a Pot to piss in for Trees etc .

Not getting any jobs i Quote for these days, "your to expensive " and I thought I was cheap.

Scrap ain't worth nicking these days.

My repair/porting work bounced back quickly, seems Easter and the following bank holiday slowed things up with everyone taking holiday.  

Got back up to full speed straight after and now rammed, loads in and loads of enquiries again.......bugger!

I picked a right good time to sink a load of money into a new business venture! ?

 

I am remaining positive that it’s just a blip, and it’s reassuring (in a sad way) that others are going through a similar lean period.

Tree work is sparse here too, only the milling,boards and miscellaneous wood keeping us afloat. (Just)

Everyone seems quite so don't despair. I'm sure its just a blip as always

I've been helping a mate out with some garden contracts he has landed, along with booking in fun casino work for December. Also had a log enquiry yesterday thanks to the cold weather.

I was immensely busy until 3 weeks ago. Then dead, then gastric flu and off for a week. Now sitting here thinking WTF. 

 

I think the problem is Brexit. Being deep in the shit is immensely preferable to not knowing how in the shit you are going to be. You can at least take steps to remedy your perturbation when you're right in the tangible deep and smelly. 

 

Theresa May is a clown. A fool beyond measure for not realising this. Dragging out the unknown has done far more damage than leaving, deal or not.
