The scan does not show the ragged edges of the leaflet that were cut with a pair of scissors by someone who was possibly high on drugs at the time!

Which old way is that? A leather and a bucket, or the modern squeegie method?

fair play to the person

a flyer that offers a service and offers a method in a way people understand / want

the WCBC will be happy

i expect they were not even his scissors, but the scissors of the OAP he had bound and gagged in her kitchen whilst he ransacked her home to pay for his drugs, whilst his Muslim asylum seeking partner got the old ladies car out of the garage

For a 'Southerner', you're quite a perceptive bloke.  (I hope your hernia thing went well and you're enjoying your time off; I expect to see you all over this site like a rash; with all that time on your hands).

But to be honest, I only lost two lower-end residential to him; and one of those I think were either friends or family to him!

I like the old way, but the new way is quicker and produces better cleans, that stay cleaner for longer.

However i may introduce back ladder window cleaning and charge extra than what i charge with wfp, where there is no real safety issues.

Ive not stopped using ladders, its just most properties are ideal for wfp. However i do have some where wfp is impracticable and ladder use is quicker and easier.

I thought it was your leaflet Rog! But then I looked more carefully and realised it was the result of a collaboration between PureHYDRO and Business Coach!

Squeaks, you're not often right... etc!

The guy only started up again in May 08; we're not in May 09 yet are we?. 

I know because I spoke to him yesturday; but he's still shoving them out because a customer showed me this last week.

And I have mentioned it, but this is the first time I've posted a scan of it!

Sigh!
