Would you look at that...... I pop out to get some milk and your all pulling faces behind me back lol

I offered him 2k all in. He wanted 3k and mentioned the stupid prices he had seen on the internet for the a 700 pound per month ( you know the ones....... 700 quid round for 15k or something)

His purefreedom trolley cost him 900. Is that true? I thought that was a bit steep. I got a Gardiner trolley system for 350.

He is having a think about it Ian. He is a Brazillian guy - he has been window cleaning for 10 months and says that he hates it now despite the last time I saw him when I encouraged him to canvass around my village. I tried to big window cleaning up for him but he has decided to go back to fitting bathrooms. He says he can earn way more in such a short time ( he is self employed) and he is starting to get busy.

I have told him even if he does not sell to me, to make sure he keeps his round well maitained even tho he is getting busy with his bathrooms. It takes him 4 days to do the work so I have offered to help him. He can sell to me or to someone else but at least he keeps his customers happy  ;D

So it might be true then that he may have paid 900  :o
