Even the weather people are having a meeting next week to discuss the last 3 years climate in this country.

Weather people meet to talk about the weather. Shock horror.

Don't believe the hype. Its just rain.

I know some of you wont believe me...but in all honesty , I have probably only had 2 days off over the past year to bad weather... youv just got to get on with it...

ok.. when it has been really bad I just do the ones that I know are always out...I rarely get  anyone making a fuss about it.....I realy do think that some of us think too much and worry too much , and put objections in the way without trying....

if a custie comes out and says not today, then just move to the next house .... dont fret over it ...just get on with it....
I have to work in all weathers as I live in one of the wettest parts of the uk...

i believe you.  i've been going 3 years and have never missed a day because of the weather.

how can we offer a reliable regular service if weather stops us?

Some of you are a like soooo melodramatic. A bit of rain and the world is ending.

They've been watching too many Lee Burbidge videos involving Yanks, bloody drama queens..


This is how it is Ian, when its dryish enough you go to work. When it's too wettish enough you don't.  Planning your round won't change that.

It is a wet system and I agree its not always nice to work in the rain. But, rarely does it rain heavily all day, not all of our customers are in and see us working in it and most of them accept that to be reliable a third of their cleans maybe on wet or looks like rain days.
