According to my local Pathologist (he comes window cleaning with me some times) this year hasn't been to bad. The last two winters, due to the extreme and prolonged cold, finished off very large numbers of the elderly and vulnerable. I know we're not social services but it doesn't take much to keep an eye on some of the older customers and check that they're at least keeping warm and looking after themselves properly.

I think it is very inconsiderate for a customer to die, without giving you a least a couple of weeks notice !

The only 2 certainties in life:
Death & Taxes.

I have a round in a small village town, about 4 years ago 3 seperate custys all commited suicide within the space of 6 months. one was a retired GP one was a something otologist and the other was a lady in her 50s who didnt work. All 3 houses were worth half a million +.
So it wasnt financial they were just sick of life :(. i was known as the grim reaper as i only had 25 customers. i have now sold the round :).

How do you know it wasn't financial? A big house doesn't necessarily mean wealthy, they cost alot to run and maintain, they may not have been cash rich and were struggling.
Just today I did a house, nice place on an estate, not big but well presented, new car and good furniture. But they have bounced 3 cheques in the last 6 months, will only do it for cash now.
I alsodo a house that is up for sale at 2million, she has no mortgage on it but cannot afford to live there anymore.
