Have you talked to Uber drivers?

In any event Uber does not cover all non fixed salary employees as no doubt you know.

AML and RR need your help urgently...nip out and buy a few.

diku - UK employment contracts are already almost a contradiction of terms (eg zero hour etc). I sincerely hope that they will not get watered down any further. It will be even closer to modern slave labour. That should not happen to anyone.

A viable business is one that that has orders which match its budget and costs that are commensurate with budget and has suppliers that will provide at the order price and overheads are included and yields a profit.

5006, like said VIABLE business, we all know some were on the way out before this and you can't save the un saveable. Like our friend said there has to be some quality control. But making the viable take high interest loans is in my view a no no.

Of course supermarkets get goods cheaper, bulk buyers. But is that reason to get in first, strip the selves and then flog the stuff at gross inflated prices to the locals who cant get the stuff. You sound bright enough so I dont think you are missing the point.

chav dont pay the price if you think excessive.

A lot of products at the supermarket have a gp over 50%. Indeed, it used to be cheaper to buy some items from the supermarket than the trade suppliers.

Then you have business rates, rent, staff, yourself, accountant, utilities, to live on.

What ever bought at wholesale (or supermarket if cheaer) you generally need to add at least 50% on the price to break even.

Chav
dont expect cheap loans for businesses on the edge
And chav - please understand that cash and Carry prices are higher than supermarket prices - so who is ripping off who.
Use the convenience store or not.
U ever tried running a corner shop? Full of grief - but why u close at 10pm - not a career move!

Gazz
That history and politics gone wrong.

[chavitravi2] 02/4/2020 17:16

5.006, no I'm no snowflake. Corner stores isn't a supermarket but I know as most some owners were going to supermarkets and stipping the shelves leaving nothing for others and then selling the stuff at inflated prices in their shop. Many wont get any business when this is done. Folk round here mark their cards for them. We ain't southerners who just pay and forget.

That's what I am saying, the Government wrecked a perfectly good bank - LLoyds at £9.76 to rescue a piece of garbage!

[jl5006] 02/4/2020 17:05

Gazz
what do u mean Lloyds head was out on the guillotine.
They got no bailout.
dear gordon Brown made LLOY take on the worst bank scotland has HBOS

[k38] 02/4/2020 17:04

A lot of opportunities on the way to buy and sell at different share price levels.. It's not going to be a straight forward.. bankrupt business, housing prices and unemployment will slow the recovery.

[aljm] 02/4/2020 17:02

was thinking about getting some more, but think i am exposed enough,

[jl5006] 02/4/2020 17:01

Gwatson
u suggest banks do due diligence. HO HO HO
Thet cant even manage their own.
Dont ask auditors either
Control is slimeballed.
FRC needs to really do something - is it competent?

[xxxxxy] 02/4/2020 17:00

Full up with Lloyds. Will not buy further. Will sit on it and await the Rewards of nice dividends. Sure asteroids can hit. But that is life. Be philosophical. And NO DEAL

[aljm] 02/4/2020 16:56

K38, makes sense, just need this thing to blow out, any good news this will move, should forget them and come back in a few months

[gazz2] 02/4/2020 16:56

Lloyds head was put on the guillotine in 2008 by HMG, in 2007 the Lloyds Sp was no less than £9.76!
