The Goans who started off giving us excellent service quality and prices of their goods - now they have got really greedy with the prices over the last few years going through the roof.

e.g. making chair covers OH! madam the material has gone up - go to Mapsa and you will find that they are putting 200% + onto the price of the material before the making. The carpenters!!!!. Electricians!!

They are the ones that are loosing out, and are now laying off their workers just because of greed.

This year they are going to find it harder again to get business.
