Thats where the money is...is it?

I'm of the opinion that lowering your original price is basically admitting: "Yep, was just trying to squeeze a few more bob out of you."

 

Stick with your integrity, so long as you're not greedy and you offer the fairest price you can (for you and the costumer) then why shouldn't people pay a fair price for a decent job?

 

No point lowering your prices to compete with somebody else if there's no profit in it for you at the end.

hang on a mo, the biggest thieves work in the city, but its easier to blame travellers and people on benefits who have nothing

 

So So true John, the problem is some folk just believe what they are spoon fed by the government who just what to divide public opinion, but some folk are just born Thick and cant be educated or use their own brains but i suppose you can't polish a Turd

It's when they say "so and so can do it for less than that , but we would rather u do it as we know you have insurance, can u match so and so's price" do they think I get my ins for free

3 blokes in a room - a banker, a daily mail reader, a bloke on the dole & 10 x £50 pound notes

 

The banker puts all the notes in his pocket, then, after putting a fiver back on the table, turns to the daily mail reader and says " Don't let the dole scrounging scum steal all your money mate, that would be criminal"

Ha ha, don't agree totally but you make a very good point.

I don't get many calls from dole scroungers but I do from bankers.

4 on my list currently.

It's the rich(better off) that pay our wages so as long as people are earning the money is going round.

After all, who makes the nuts and bolts that go into a Jag?

Ordinary working people of course!

Apologies for the slight derail... rant coming....

 

Why does everyone whinge about bankers being thieves, and the cause of all our problems?

They're not, they went to university, worked hard at boring subjects that most students don't want to take because they eat into their drinking time, like 'maths' or 'languages' or 'econmics'.

We all could have done it if we wanted to.

But no, we wanted to 'work with our hands' or 'be outside'

We chose lifestyle.

 

The poor sods who didn't now work in a sh*thole like London, are up at the crack of dawn spending a fortune commuting into the city, shuffling paper and arguing with people in an office, always with someone breathing down their neck, there's no job satisfaction, no appreciation, they could be sacked at any minute. On top of that, everyone in the country apparently hates them.

 

Yet few people actually appreciate that:

 

1. They pay a fortune in tax [even AFTER the tax reduction schemes, like the one who owns some the land we farm who has spent hundreds of thousands with local fencing companies, foresters etc. to reduce his tax bill, and why the hell not?]

 

2. They work far longer hours than most of us who do our shifts or work from 7am to 4pm. If we're self employed we might choose to work over Christmas. If you work for a bank and you get called in because the chinese want to close a deal on December the 25th, it's tough luck mate, you have no choice...

 

3. They spend their money on the expensive luxury goods and brands which we manufacture in this country rather than the imported shite us paupers purchase. Good old 'working class heros' don't support their shop floor brethren any more. They buy cheap foreign stuff. Like Peugeots for instance, even though that company closed their Coventry factory and moved production to Slovakia, putting HUNDREDS of their comrades out of work.

 

4. They're the ones who employ the little builders, gardeners, kitchen fitters, mechanics etc rather than trying to do these jobs themselves.

 

5. They bring far more foreign money into this country than any other industry, certainly more than football. And earn significantly less while working a damn sight harder than a footballer yet with a similar working life expectancy.

 

So actually, everyone who likes to jump on this bandwagon probably ought to wind their neck in, think before they spout any more of this socialist rhetoric and stop biting the hand which feeds them. You sound like bitter little trade unionists, and what have they ever contributed to society?

 

FWIW, my brother in law works in banking and aged 31 ALL he wants to do is to start a family, get the hell out and be a primary school teacher, but he's stuck in the rat race and can't find a way out.

Don't believe most of what you hear in the media.

Rememeber, our problems were caused DIRECTLY and ENTIRELY by the economic and social policy of the '97 to '10 government.

Not bankers, they have just made into the scapegoats by Labour politicians and the media.

 

 

Rant over.

[john p]

So when they are fixing libor rates and mid selling ppi and speculating on fuel prices which affects everyone for their own benefit that's ok is it? Doff your cap and take the crumbs from the table
