Is this something generated by the recession I wonder? &#8230;are people panicking and trying to gain a share of ‘other’ markets&#8230;?
One of the keys about a ‘niche’ business is sticking [...]]]></description>

Apparently if you take an old Code of Practice and re-write it…inserting your company name ..PEA*&#8230;, in every other sentence &#8230;PEA &#8230;THEN MAGICALLY&#8230;it becomes an all singing, all dancing ‘New Code Of Practice’&#8230;well at least that’s what some people would have you believe.
Maybe I should write a JKSL code of practice which states that only [...]]]></description>

I have been trying to find something positive to write in my blog as I’m getting fed up with moaning. It’s very easy to become a grumpy old man given the level of depressing stuff going on in the world.
I was actually thinking at the weekend that I should write a newspaper and call it [...]]]></description>

Is it just me or are standards dropping everywhere? Shops, offices, garages, and hotels&#8230;.everywhere I’m getting poor service and minimal levels of customer care.

We are being contacted more and more by home owners wanting the ‘cheapest possible’ price for works to remove Japanese Knotweed on their property. They tell us that they have contacted several of our competitors and unless we are lowest in price&#8230; they will use somebody else.
