As was said on here yesterday your health is certainly your wealth during these times . Though i do always like to see nice people get on in life reading in the paper the other day about a shop that may have to close due to times and the virus said shop has had no customers for years due to the owners attitude I'm surprised it-never closed long before the virus .

You’re right. Besides which most of the peacock stories are a snore-fest anyway. One of my best profits ever on a single deal was a Nissan Serena camper. Those two words, Nissan + Serena, immediately tell you the story is as boring as f***. I’ll get my coat....... Edited April 2, 2020 by BHM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have a much lower staffing level so they knew that increasing salaries in the sector would be a big impact onto their competitors who’ve been forced to pay closer to Aldi/Lidl levels. They get their pound of flesh from staff to with higher productivity than their competitors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
