Only on very windy days!

Had a job next to some farmland once that had that problem. The field was ploughed, dust everywhere.

On days like that we don't bother with water; that way everyone's a winner ;D

This is what I love about this forum ;-)
Seriously, doesn't really worry customers. Just give a no quibble guarantee and any problem go back and sort it.

I had a similar problem today. The customers garden was full of dandelions gone to seed.

Every time the wind blew a little, the seeds stuck to the glass.

Here in Ireland there has hardly been a day gone by over the last 2 months when it hasn't rained at some point.

Yesterday was a rare dry one, so imagine my undisguised incredulous look I gave a customer when he told me to leave the windows, as it was too dry!

I kid you not.

Get this ...

Yesterday I'm motoring on so I can have today off and chat to you lot! Anyway I'm cleaning away and another custy (Mrs T.) out with her dog calls me and asks if I'm going to her place today. (£10 bungalow)

It went downhill from there:-

MG: Yes, be there in about an hour
MrsT: (Whinging) Oh can you leave it this time we had all that rain at the weekend and the ground is only just drying out (this is four days previously and we haven't had a drop since and her place is surrounded by patio slabs anyway)  and we don't like all that water.

MG: (Looking perplexed but politely asking) What do you do when it rains?
MrsT: Well the bottom of the doors are all splashed with dirty rainwater and we don't want more of it.

MG: (Showing a teeny bit of irritation) Surely they need cleaning then?
MrsT: Yes but the cills get wet not like when you used to do them with that blade thing. (six years ago now mind)

MG: That's why we wipe them Mrs. T. I'm a bit perplexed as to why you are concerned.
Mrs T: Well Brian (hubby) thinks you're around too often (the real reason?) and it does his head in.

MG: I can offer two monthly for £13 if you prefer.
Mrs T: Oh I don't know.

MG: Well blah blah reliable blah blah up to you; can't turn up and be turned away blah blah.
Mrs T: Can you do every other month, it isn't the money, mind. (Yeah right!)
MG: OK

......

Next instalment soon.

Anyhoo I start on her neighbours and she collars Dan the man and says she's changed her mind and she will stick with monthly but we must wipe down the cills (which we do anyway).

Dan comes and tells me. I say "let's not bother".

So we drove off and left it... ho hum.
