ha ha, sure but unfortunately or fortunately the houses are occupied for a while.
I went to chat to my local camp site last night, Seems business is terrible and they are not expecting a good season at all, my local pub landlord says much the same, the next bank holiday will be the only busy week of the year they believe. Desperate times my friend

Cannyfradock, thanks for sharing that experience. I don't like the bit about losing loads (a bit too close to home for comfort  ) but the rest is spot on. |

slowfood, desperate times indeed my friend. But I think a lot of it is due solely to the weather (despite the economic gloom). Once we get a bit of sun people will come out. I was at a little event in Harrow on Monday and people came out in spite of the rain, when it stopped raining it almost felt as though the sun was shining (relatively.) I am sure the campsite will pick up as soon as we get the weather. I think people will go away whatever and in tough times, camping in Britain should do well versus more exotic holidays.
Gotta keep optimistic or else the media will talk us all in to giving up and committing suicide!

I've been in the mobile catering business for over 20 years, have a small cafe/takeaway with a wood fired oven fitted. Mobile catering is hard, damned hard, the rewards can be good, but to succeed nowadays you HAVE to be different. Rents can be very expensive, I've paid over three grand for a 3 day event in the past. You'll not pay that for pizza, but it still probably won't be peanuts. Feel free to give me a ring if you've any questions. Hi all, My pastimes are being a petrolhead, Campervanning and building Wood Ovens (#3 at the mo) Basically the mobile oven I am building now will more than likely be put up for sale when I am happy it's completed but I also got thinking, How good/bad is the mobile Pizza business, Artisan Bread etc. I work in construction (Shuttering/Reinforcement) But age is catching up and as you all know decent work is harder to find. It's an open question I know but do these businesses we see popping up all over the place make a good living, What's the best way to go about running the business and pretty much everything else or would I be better off concentrating on building the odd bespoke oven and selling it or finally my first idea, Selling Moulds for people to cast thier own ovens??? Any ideas and pointers greatly appreciated. Thank you See my build at www.fornobravo.com/forum/f21/my-l....oday-16182.html and www.fornobravo.com/forum/f43/cast....uild-17613.htmlIf I can help in any way please don't hesitate to contact. Thank you |
