Perhaps not but then if someone turned up at your house and asked to take your laundry home to Iron would you just give it to them without any questions similarly would you let them take your of for a walk.

you really do have a breathtakingly negative, no-can-do attitude.

just hope you have no influence on the young person wanting to make something of themselves

Well, as I say, the chap I know started his business by creating flyers for dog walking and posting them through letter boxes to total strangers.

And I've actually used mowing and cleaning services that posted flyers through my letterbox.

So yes, I'd say it's absolutely possible.

Answer the question.

"No can do" no just a realist

The programme was pretty lame. Two of the panelists got stuck in their train. The politicos who did arrive were so terrified of saying anything to upset the boomer brigade the Labour woman couldn't even bring herself to say 'older people', when talking about the longitudinally divided audience, even when pressed by Dimbleby.

It just shows how paralysed with fear Britain's spineless politicians are when it comes to what they all still see as their core powerbase.

The boomers by contrast seemed to be more worried about the young people's futures than the young people were. Apart from one gnarled misanthrope who I imagine has a login to this forum and was just jonesing to voice his 'get on your bike and look for a job' prejudice, (including some bizarre assertion that the solution to young people's housing woes is to move to London) most of the boomer audience considered house prices and lack of entry level jobs for the young to be a disgrace.

Good on them.

maybe the panelists don't hate their parents or their children as much as you seem to do and see no value in artificially creating hatred and dissent where non exists.

I'm not sure there is a big demand for dog walking or ironing in Peckham.

That's exactly what I meant when I said B]and you quoted[/B "Difficulties include ..... picking the right business in the right area.".

Why would you choose to open an ironing or dog walking business there?

Normally, you would choose to sell.... er.... flour, sugar, salt, or other various 'cooking ingredients' on the street corner....
