gave a quote to Brian Reade, the Mirror columnist/journalist, £30 for a big, many roomed, sash windowed house...called him back to see if he wanted it doing..."my dads going to do it..." !!!!!

he must be on a few bob but would rather send his dad up the old ladders to save a couple of quid...

Not me, but there's loads of famous people living around the Chepstow area.

The closest I've got is the brother of Feeder's frontman Grant Nicholas.

Still, ex-Spice Girl Mel C lives up the road, might go and give her a quote.

Not currently. I once canvassed Judy Dench's house and didn't realise who she was till a few days later. She already had a window cleaner. My father cleaned windows for a while in the 60s. He cleaned the late Harold McMillan's house. He also cleaned for Sir Denis Lowson (former lord mayor of London). I've been paid by cheque by a couple of "Sirs" and "Ladys" over the years but they weren't people I'd ever heard of.

I feel privelidged. We do quite a number.

But there again, I live in an area (Brighton) that attracts them and driving around in an ex hearse done up to look like the ghost busters vechicle helps.

I love it. You can't beat being an exhibitionist. Just to step outside yourself and be that person who does something ordinary in an extrodinary way.

Hey Ross, does that include Jordan?

I know she lives there.(I'm not a stalker!)

« **Reply #12 on:** July 20, 2005, 12:09:29 am »

Hi Squeaky Clean

Jordan lives the other side of Worthing which is 10 miles to the West of here although I've seen her a number of times in Brighton.

In the flesh she is surpringly better looking than she is on tv. And shorter too.

Her famous bits that she is well known for seem to have shrunk lately also.

The strange thing about Brighton is that the rich and famous can walk about with no one bothering them. I saw the dj Boy George last week eating a meal in a greasy joe cafe and no one cared less. Last month my missus and I saw Paul McCartny's wife (or how ever you spell his name) in Waitrose.

The only exception to that is Chris Ewbanks who does every thing to get noticed.

Cheers

Did some W/Cleaning many years ago and used to do those belonging to the late Nikolai Poliakovs.

Who? The olders amongst us knew him as "Coco the clown".
