It is crazy busy right now. I'm turning down so much work every week.
I would actually be happy if they turned me down. It's the ghosting. Having to go cap in hand to the guy who's already halfway through some work here, starting every message with "I know you're busy.." is fucking annoying.
Mate*, I'M really busy (he says, posting on a cycling forum), but I don't just not return calls or not attend meetings I said I would.
*not you

It is crazy busy right now. I'm turning down so much work every week. Trades doing a lot of small works are probably struggling to manage it.
I see a lot of people getting responses to requests for trades on the Nextdoor forum. Seems there are more local people looking for small works on there.
When for dinner with some neighbours over the weekend, they had been paying £100 per hour per person for an emergency plumbing repair.
