    Posted by Alan Wharton on November 17, 2006 at 11:52 pm

    is it the time of year or something, but the last few months i seem to see sign/gfx outfits closing left right n centre, 2 within 5 miles of me a couple of people on the boards and ebay has 2-3 all selling up. or is this buisness classed as a ‘oh thats easy ill do signs/gfx’ and turns out after 6 months or so its not all what they thought it was going to be. Im going from good to omg how am i going to do this lot, need more staff and moving to bigger premisess in 2 weeks its mad here lol, but i love it 😛 😛

    Its only perceptual Alan,
    It happens to all types off business.
    just you notice what is relevant to you.
    car sales or fast food, all come and go..
    do your own thing,

    That’s the way of the world mate. Companaies come & go all the time. Most that have talent & persistance survive.

    To be honest Alan I think it’s the usual cylce of events. Britain is currently in recession (a fact that will not be recognised officially for another 3 months or so).

    Businesses failing are a fact of life, but good news for the ones that remain as it means less competition 😀 😀

    I’m using Firefox, and get the same error. When I click on the www link at the bottom of your post, I get a home page. When I click the link to enter the site, it throws up the error….

    Phill edit your index.htm (the one that’s in the root directory) and change http://www.therightsigns.co.uk/\company\index.htm to http://www.therightsigns.co.uk/company/index.htm

    I’m using Mozilla too, could this be the cause?

    Just tried it on the computer I’m using now, and it works. No mozilla on here……
