Would you open a local PC repair shop nowadays?

Is this a one time offer or is it open to anyone? :laugh: :laugh: Cuz i might have to find myself a plane ticket to the USA

Sure, but you have to be good.

Thanks for your kind suggestion and yes, that is considerably better than what I earn now. The name of the game down here is survival, whether we like it or not and I've had to supplement my income by offering door to door collection and delivery on top of my motorcycle courier work, VHS to digital conversions and whatever else springs to mind - within reason.
If we were ever to uproot ourselves and bearing in mind that I'm over 60, it would have to be back in my homeland, the UK. I'm no spring chicken any more! :D

There are pros and cons to age... the older generation knows how to work and interact with customers. The younger generation expects high pay for little to no work and gets upset or disgruntled when you tell them that they did a $hit job, as if they've never been told that before.
