Cheers funny though i said to my wife its something weve already thought about.Whats annoying is the fact it says no canvassing so how long and how many houses would you have to put these into? surely this is still canvassing the robbing xxxx

Snap.

I fell for it out of curiosity but I did think for the small cost it may have been worth it but it wasn't.

I also bought a pile of duff rubbers advertised on eBay for 10 quid or something similar only to find the whole lot were naff. They were supposedly made by Dunlop but they had no trade stamp on them and were all off cuts of different lengths not the 20 or so metres advertised.

The whole lot were useless.

Yes, I know, don't tell me ...... there's one born every minute ......

lol.....nevr mind hopefully ive stopped them trading as ive reported it to ebay and paypal and as soon as they get a cmplaint about non payment they will hopefully block his/her account.I might even put it back on ebay free of charge and all the people whove got it from him will be very annoyed oops

Hi Easyclean

That is such a good idea.

If I can find the few bits of paper I will do that and include on my ebay listing that it is a waste of money and just charge the postage.

Cheers

This is what you get.

Go around as many houses as you can and leave a a4 peice of paper.on the top it says do you want you windows cleaned if so leave this in a front window and we will be back tomorrow to clean them and get money same night.On the bottom half of the paper it says in big bold letters "clean my windows".

How long would it take to go back to all the houses you put them in ?
