too bad about business, I know I had my car washed the other day and I was the only customer at the time, highly unusual and it was a beautiful day

It certainly appears to be a matter of timing! It's wonderful that it worked out for both your Dad and Josh! I liked the fact that you can kill three birds with one stone, it has to be a record of a sort! Well done and kudos to you, too! sam

To even be able to keep a business operating in these economic times is a very admirable feat my friend.

Your Dad clearly made the right decision. In business one has to adapt to the circumstances...

Life in the UK
is played out against a background of cuts at the moment. I'm not sure that our Coalition Government had much choice but to cut hard and quick, but there is also a concern that some of the cuts will kill growth in the longer term. Difficult times eh?

it is a very strange and unpredictable time for businesses....
just when it looks like things are rolling again, along comes a report that unemployment is up even higher.
..but you and your Dad will see this thing through...

very interesting read here FSI ~ makes me think of my little business I have and how yes, I saw a decline in September and then a surge in October and I'm thinking of what more to add or subtract...and I agree, knowing when to 'stay the course' is so important. Uncertainty for sure...these economic times are up and down, like a yo yo effect and makes me wonder more of what the future will hold. I, myself, hope it does nothing but continually stabalize. You're so involved and I know your Dad appreciates your dedication. You must be busy. Elyse

Times are strange for being in business. I am glad your father can keep it going and knows when to let go and when to come back. Good post.

I'm glad things worked out with Josh
but I am sure it's hard on you not being able to bring the others back. I hope business gets better for you.
