My true feeling on this matter is....."ant it great to live in AMERICA" after all said and done, we can charge what we wont, produce quantity or quality or both, work from a tent or walk and talk, how ever you want to do it. This is why I've chosen "WINDSHIELD CHIP REPAIR". I love it .....I Love The Life I Live and I Live The Life I Love........at the same time WORKING TOGETHER INSURES ACHIEVEMENT.......I think the tent guy needs to kick his Price up to $50, $25 and $10....and use lead to hold his tent down..

How much does it cost to live well over there, we seem to be getting nearly twice as much as you guys for repairs. We charge £40+£10+£10 That is pounds not dollars. How much is a house my 5 bed over here is about £300,000 Meal out £25 per person with booze. Petrol only £4.70 a gallon. Car insurance £295. Please give me some clues. I might decide to join you all one day, only for a holiday though. Now I am sure this post will not upset anyone.

Screenman, I can't find that little backwards 3 thing on my puter....so I can't tell you...But something else happening is the Immigrants comming in from Mexico.They are charging $5 and $10 a pop......This may be an up coming problem in the future. So that old Texas Saying "REMEMBER THE ALAMO" may take on a different meaning.....

Screenman, £295 for Car Insurance, that's $600 at today's INSANE exchange rate.
I'm guessing that is for a year's coverage.
What type of car do you drive?

Over here we pay a small fortune for Car Insurance, It's why we have so many uninsured motorist's, of course a great part of our Car Insurance costs are for medical coverage, Do you pay for medical insurance in your premiums or does the NHS pick up those costs.

People complain about Taxes, but look at all the Insurance we pay.

I Love your £40, £10, £10 charges that's a good living.

£25 for a meal out with booze, That's a lot of booze hahahahaaaaa. I'm a fan of the British Pub Meals.

Dude are you 12 I havnt complained about you to Brent but im glad to see im not the only one who has had enough of your BS whats next you gonna jump up and down and yell Neener neener Neener? What happened to you no longer posting here as you claimed before?
This is a forum for industry folks to share tips and knowlege new people wander in and promptly leave after reading your childish drivel the industry isnt served this way
Who cares if someone new moved in and put up a tent? who cares that he charges a price different from yours? What makes him deserving of your personal attacks and name calling? I dont work a tent but lots of guys earn a good living with them the same goes for Carwash guys lots of people working them and putting out good work deal with competition by being a pro not a 6th grader and try sticking to the purpose of this board and keep the playground stuff for recess

Seems to me that the one acting like a child is you! You just can't stand it when someone has an opinion that differs from your own. The guy doing the tent business in my area is giving this industry a bad name through low quality repairs at a cheap rate. I have plenty of other competitors in my area who do quality work and I don't mind that at all. We even meet for coffee every now and then and discuss business.

If I responded to you in a way I would like to I would surely be banned. I didn't deserve your attack this time and I hope Brent sees that.
Bottom line...I don't give a great big fat rats butt what you think. Nothing more childish than a cry baby.

I have no Beef with anyone, and I dont take sides.

Cant you guys just get along, This pettiness is worse than being in the school yard, if we cant get along then what chance does this world have.

CHILL OUT or Agree to Disagree, Im absolutly sure Brent has more important things to do with his valuable time.

Well, here's my opinion!

When a little mosquito bites you, the worst thing you can do is continue to scratch it! If you do that, one little bite becomes something that gets bigger and aggravates you constantly.

Please....stop scratching, and just ignore that little mosquito that bit you. It will eventually go away!

Since I can't slap that lil bugger away I guess ignoring It and hoping it will go away is best. Good advice SQ.

Screenman
You were wondering about the cost of living here in the US compared to the UK.
My brother is visiting N. Ireland right now and he says everything over there is much more expensive over there than here in California.
Also you guys have to pay VAT ( value added tax of 17.5%)
Here we pay about 7% sales tax.
The dollar may not be worth anything in Europe, but at least here we can still buy stuff cheaper than in Europe.
Property is expensive in California, but cheaper in places like Kansas.
