Hey I know magic is in love, but I am with him on this.
Just because they are oaps you have not increased their price for 10 years. they may have been that for 5 or ten years with the last bloke
Don't respect the business, respect yourself and put them up

Wish I could but I have been left to my own devices,if you charge 2.50 a pop,and il add a ridiculous price at that ,then why shouldn't someone undercut that and so on.
Ks why not give him some advice instead of advising me ?

This wins post of the year 1990!

If you have been undercut on this then just think yourself lucky - you don't have to waste time and diesel servicing these underpriced and ungrateful customers.

And when matey boy goes back under his rock or doesn't turn up for six months until he needs some special brew and your erstwhile custies want you back you can say "Sorry, I'm looking after my loyal customers who appreciate my work."

It's win-win I tell thee!  ;)

Ah,it's all Art's fault! You tried to be a smart ar## with the 'just a clue fir ya' then try to pass the buck to someone else.
I do pensioners bungalows for £2.50,and still make good money,I am happy the customer is happy :-*

it is entirely up to him what he charges, I have bungalows on my round with three windows, you don't know any of the facts, and even if he had increased he still would have been undercut, so the price he charged is irrelevant really, so what is your point?

Lol never try to be a smart ass it comes naturally,and not blaming art simply enlightened you where the figure come.

To be simple,you clean windows for 2.50 a go,you deserve to be undercut.
Ps ,,,,hope you can understand my point

Why? and no I don't understand your point, as it makes no sense
Title: Re: cant believe this
Post by: magic moments on September 07, 2012, 08:24:41 pm
I believe and its my opinion,that cleaning windows for 2.50 is a joke ,its degrading to the business that's my point,of course you may not agree but that is my point ,
Now more importantly did you try the magica?
Title: Re: cant believe this
Post by: stuart mc on September 07, 2012, 08:33:09 pm
I never bought magica ??? or do you mean the stuff I bought that I think magica is rebranded from, then no as it hasn't arrived and I spent the day cleaning windows with no need for any chemicals

and I will let you into a wee secret next week I will be cleaning OAP flats and bungalows and the highest price is 3.50 and I easily earn £30 and hour on them ;)

is that a joke if so keep laughing at me :D

and ps that is trad they are so easy

And I enlightened Art that he had mis-read the OP,but you still couldn't see it..next time try engaging the brain before you try to get witty ;)

Hey whatever you earn good for you,30 pound an hour better then most so well played,,I still won't clean anywhere for 2.50  but hey that's me.

Poor Bosh. I guess his positive outlook didn't survive CIU.
