It is interesting. Being in a local area myself it'll be interesting to see if anyone else who's not in a town/city hasever got to the stage where they can afford full-time staff.

We're town centre-ish...just outside of the main shopping area. We have one member of staff who only comes in for 4 hours on a thurs...although is debatable whether it's worth having one at the moment...business has been awful recently

Same hear chris, usually this time of year were really busy on plants etc but as weather is so gloomy no ones buying,but i have been quite busy on funeral orders for this time of year, which i know is good but a wee bit depressing.

I'm in quite a big market town just off the main shopping centre. There are no florists slap bang in the centre cos no one can afford the rents! If I moved 100 metres into town my rent would be 10k more and rates double. I have one part timer at the mo with another starting soon.

I was chatting to a friend from Cambridge on wednesday, she mentioned that there are no central florists there eiher, again I guess its the rent. Anyone here from that area?
