Default Snow again

well guys its snowing again...... does this affect your business?
while it can hamper ours we also gain from it in the long run, all that snow, salt and grit plays havoc with carpets.

haha excellent! With that kind of thinking you will go very far indeed, you found a problem, and then the benefit! Much better than a feature and benefit (though I confess, i love them too).

Now that is what makes a great businessman.

Holy moly, have been head down all afternoon, just looked out the window!!!

The last batch of snow we had saw our listings increase on My Local Services, as well as the number of edited listings, which suggested people had spare time on there hands or were working from home

So maybe a bumper day tomorrow?

The downside is slips and trips in my industry, hence a phone call during the last snow to ask me to investigate. Took all of 10 minutes mind, twas the ice and no grit on it...strange they needed me to tell em that

I drive an Alfa Romeo, due its MOT, dread to think what that's going to cost!
