not raining here. We work in light to moderate rain also unless customer not happy with it. Most are OK though as long as it's not lashing it down

if the rain and lightening doesnt stop you the custies will with a "not today we are going on holiday tommorrow!".

even if you do manage to clean a few theyll prob be on holiday so you wont get paid for at least 2 weeks!

oh the joys of being a window cleaner!i hate august!! >:( >:( ;D ;D
