just posted a similar post in the poll section. Personally I think the Oldham area is quiet at the moment. I have asked the local tile shops if they are busy and it seems not. Probably down to the holiday season.

Dave posted that the last week in July which is still good to have almost 8 weeks work ahead of you.
At the moment it looks like i have about 2 weeks ahead, which i am happy with.
