Grumpy grouer has got it spot on and saved many of us that amount of typing. I think people realise that you get what you pay for and if you have a eastern european quoting silly money the have an idea what a job they are going to get. ( i don't quiet think "hey kamil get your *** back from warsaw and sort out these tiles" will work ) Remember ultimatley you are only as succesfull as the amount of effort you put in.

I live and work in the Slough area, 60,000 Polish have moved here in the last couple of years, we all (Uk, Asian, African, East European) are after the jobs that are out there. However, I have not had a bad year for the last 5 years and I already have bookings to next February.
Advertising in the right place and doing the best job you can have always brought in work for me. The customer is looking for that little something extra and this will often get you recommended.

Thanks guys,

All very usefull comments and puts this all into a much clearer perspective.

Anyway, I'll take your advice away and hopefully keep my eye out for a good course.

Got my eye on a 6 week course with Diamond as everyone has some good things to say about it and it seem to be one of nearer schools with a good reputation.

Thanks again fellas'!!

Take care

Oh! and thanks for the warm welcome to the forum too!!
