I did try to make the best of it, put a note through the door saying i cleaned by mistake and as they had not asked me obviously there was no charge and if they would like them done in the future the price would be £xx.......Never heard a thing  ;D

A mate of mine years ago  us to do some window cleaning as a subby  on his days off as an ambulance driver. It was on an estate called South Oxhey built in the 1950s but all the roads look the same.
Him and his mate got several houses into a road before somebody queried what they were doing and it turned out they were on the wrong road.
