    Working Christmas Day in a hotel

    As a former submariner myself, it's a no from me. Hot bunking was bad enough. Submarines seems to contain moatly misfits from normal society. Working Christmas day would be a no, done enough of that ?

    Improving Daily Schedule

    I'm as productive as I "want to be". I charge accordingly, where I only need 1-2 jobs a day to make it viable, and that it covers slacker times (like when I go on holiday over Christmas) I form an orderly queue, first come, first served. This week I told a customer their job couldn't be...

    Who do you use to credit check new customers?

    The debt recovery company we use, provide this as part of their service. So we can credit check customers, and if they don't pay they'll pursue them (with great results too) We're in a similar line of work to you (not as big) but I decide who gets credit, they have to be spending regularly...

    Properly implement a lien over property/vehicle

    Correct, I've not suggested going round removing it, the question was whether there is a statutory right to keep hold of the vehicle (like mechanics can) or if @eteb3 says get it written into the contract.

    Is sharing invoice details with the recipient of an order a breach of GDPR?

    I would go with @fisicx suggestion. When I worked in another job, people wanted to contact some of our clients, we would take their details and pass it onto the client, but never hand over the clients data. I would imagine your contract/obligations are to the person who placed/paid for the...

    Properly implement a lien over property/vehicle

    I'll drop our solicitor an email and get our terms reviewed and updated. Sale of goods act 1979, section V seems to relevant. Just need to ensure we do everything correctly so it can't be challenged.

    Properly implement a lien over property/vehicle

    Our payment terms have been effective for many years, however one person has found a way to evade payment... Being the pedantic sod I am, I now wish to prevent future occurrences. We primarily install vehicle signage, taking a initial deposit before any work commences and the balance is due on...

    Small claims dispute

    As a fellow sign maker this ^^ Your terms should include it's still yours until paid for. Let them call the old bill, and if my some miracle they do turn up, politely and calmly remind them it is a civil matter and you are removing what is legally yours. My experience of small claims, and...

    Prolific shoplifter

    My limited understanding would be that until they've left the shop, they've not actually shop lifted, thus no crime has been comitted.

    Missleading website - Crafty or should be closed down?

    Out interest I changed the domain linked earlier to a local parish (Westhoughton) and as if by magic a similar page appeared populated with similar information about that Parish.

    Anyone a member of BNI?

    Interesting this old thread be resurrected. I'm still of the same opinion, and agree with @MarkTJones says above. I speak with a BNI member regulalrly, and has been for some years. They do get work, but nothing 'new' or startling, and if they weren't in the room, they'd quickly be replaced...

    Music Tutorial business

    I'm having music lessons again after a long break, although not electronic music. Whilst you may be very good at producing the music, are you very good at teaching? (don't take it the wrong way! I'm quite good on computers, absolutely pants at teaching it) My teacher is a very good...

    Coping with inflation: Has anybody renegotiated terms or prices with their suppliers?

    Ultimately it all gets passed on with us. We've looked at alternative suppliers, and the prices are pretty much the same. We could of course use an inferior, cheaper material, but that's not what we built our reputation on. We sacked off our in house small format print set up after covid, and...
