Ha ha, silly cow, never had that one before.
They usually like a nice shiny van pulling up and cleaning their windows, they think it impresses the neighbours.

All good posts so far. The way I see it is, custies want clean windows, and most don't give a toss how they're cleaned as long as they're clean when they are done. I suspect she thinks anyone trad or working from a car is cheaper than the shiny van guys.

I'd have found it hard not to laugh at her when she called though. ;D
