Bought some work off a guy, so went round poating explanation letters.

One chap phones me up. Asking when im coming etc....

Then proceeds to ask if I clean in bad weather, I replied we work in light rain

'oh, me & (previous cleaner) had an agreement, not to clean in the rain or if its going to rain'

I replied, of course it going to rain, at some point after the clean!

'no, I just mean if its going to rain within a few hours'

I replied, with all due respect mate, I dont work for the met office, so I dont know if it will rain.

The conversation was quite comical, wish I recorded it ;D

Needless to say, I never bothered going anyway

The stock answer to that one is:
"Any particular year?"

My standard response to this is.

'This is England it's always 'about to rain' if I didn't work in case it rained I'd never work'

All said nicely and with a smile, in 9 years of syaing that all but one of the customers has backed down and the other one I just left.

"It takes six weeks of rain to get your windows dirty enough for me to be coming round to clean them, so one day isn't going to make a difference"
