WELL FOLKS BUSINESS IS SO BAD THAT IT LOOKS LIKE AFTER 11 YEARS OF TRADING I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PACK IT IN. I'VE BEEN TO SIGN ON TODAY, THAT WAS AN EXPERIENCE, THEY SHOWED ME A JOB THEY WANTED ME TO APPLY FOR AND I TOLD THEM I WOULDN'T GET OUT OF BED FOR THAT MONEY SO IT LOOKS LIKE I WON'T BE GETTING ANY JOBSEEKERS ALLOWANCE LOL
I'VE TAKEN F*CK ALL THIS WEEK, ABOUT 100 QUID LAST WEEK AND LESS THAN THAT WEEK BEFORE SO IT'S NOT REALLY A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS ANYMORE.
ANYWAY WHATEVER HAPPENS I'LL KEEP PUTTING THE LISTS OUT BUT IT WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY MEAN THAT I WON'T BE ABLE TO TAKE CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS AS I'LL HAVE TO GIVE THE MACHINE BACK. AS FOR NOW, IT'S STILL OPERATIONAL.
ANYWAY THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO'S HELPED ME OVER THE YEARS, ANYONE WHO'S BOUGHT FROM ME, I'D LIKE TO THANK THE BAND, THE ROAD CREW AND THE LIGHTING PEOPLE (HAVE I DONE THAT JOKE BEFORE?)
CHEERS

*** one more thing - I'm probably going to sell my british collection soon, I've valued them at around 18,500 and that is a conservative estimate, if you went by the price guide they would be way over 20,000 pounds. If anyone is seriously interested in buying the collection, contact me for a list. I'd be looking at around 14 grand ***
