Are things finally starting to pick up your side of the pond?  I've actually booked in a full week of work, alarms and tracking with some big tracking deals coming up. I hope we're finally getting out of it.  No retail, little referral work, all the retail outlets are closing down, my biggest alarm customer is based in an industrial unit in the boondocks but has a massive website and attends all the shows. Even the (tracking) fleets are starting to slowly upsize again.

Northern part is the same, a little more work, almost a week.  What's retail, been so long forgot what it is. 

Not enough to pay the bills, just a challange to see who will survive the longest............... betting it's the guys on the net who sell anything, wether it works or not.

My weekend was booked solid, overheads, remote starts, alarms, you name it. The weekdays, that's another story, but is improving.

Hasn't really slowed down in 2 years for us. Pipeline guys are keeping us hopping and yesterday 3" of white gold fell from the sky recession -- posted image. Looks like I'll be heading into my hole of an installation bay for the next 5 months and may come out with swollen,cut up hands again this year from the looks of things. Booking in 3-4 remote starters every day now and 9 day booked in advance already and it's just Oct !!!

Funny, it stil hasn't really picked up yet here, I get one week with all the signs then the next week goes dead!  It's thursday lunchtime, I've earned £75 ($110)so far this week of which £60 was this a.m. betwen 7:00 and 8:30am. Next week I've got an E36 on Monday for an alarm, tracker and R/S, £200 ($300) labour and I'll knock it off in my sleep inc. w/close and trunk. Wed I've got 8 trackers with fuel allowance, that's about £300 ($400). Talk about up and down.
