whole country is the same,

i do speak to other locksmiths from all over,

people i know are now having to spend silly money on advertising to get work,

i only spend 15k on advertising a year, but with most of my work coming from two retail shops and 20 years trading, lots of repeat business,

problem you have is you have missed the locksmith boat by ten years,

with the internet and al these taining couses ( which is just easy money for the training company) they have flooded the locksmith labour market,

my 2 pence worth, but whot do i know with only 25 years doing it.
