We`d become a throw away society in the UK as when items like televisions stopped working we`d chuck them in then bin without even considering a Television Repair. However the current economic climate has made people stop and think to see if they can repair items that have become broken. The credit crunch has made us take notice about the waste that we create and people have now started to make do and mend once more. In the old days people tended to get things repaired and due to this they would keep items for much longer. I can remember our television breaking down when I was a child and dad ringing a local repair shop to resolve the problem. Our old telly lasted us for years and it was only when I moved out of the family home that mum and dad decided to finally upgrade it. Today it`s possible to book a Television Repair through established repair centres. One of these centres is based in Stevenage and local people can drop off their LCD TVs to have work carried out on them. Most people are watching their pennies at the moment so the Television Repair makes a lot of sense.

My friend`s husband has just started a business in carpet cleaning rugby. He used to work for a firm that offered carpet cleaning rugby and has decided that, after realising how much money the firm was making and how little was filtering down to him, that he would go on his own and make some real money for himself. I cannot help but admire him for doing this. He has got real initiative and has thought of some really innovative ways to advertise his carpet cleaning rugby business. For example, he is asking all the women he knows to put out leaflets for him at the local child care groups. His motive for this is that, as he says, if people have young children in their house then they are the very people who are most likely to need the services of a carpet cleaner. I could not agree with him more and think he is very clever to think of marketing his business in this way. Because he is so dedicated and hard working, I am sure his business is going to be a resounding success and, one of the bonuses for me is that I get my carpets cleaned very cheaply indeed!
