One of my lads arrived at an elderly chaps house today, the old fella came to the door very slowly on his zimmer fame and said can you leave the back of the house as I cant get round to unlock the gate, then held out his had to pay for "just the fronts" Andy looked down and had to say sorry but it will be a bit more than 40p.
Apparently the old fella was gobsmacked as 40p was "a fair price for less than half the job. (normally £12)
If ever I get like that can someone book me a one way ticket to Sweden please

It's sad when this happens. I remember a nice old dear that was a customer years ago. She went downhill really fast. She was always singing my praises about how happy she was with my work, then one day I was up the ladder when she asked me what I was doing. When I replied, she sharply said that she had never had a window cleaner. She had a sister,who was also a customer, and she also succumbed to Alzheimers.

I turned up at one house and the couple didn't even recognise me because they forgot they had a window cleaner. No problem I thought, I left them a leaflet last time and it's got a pic of me on it. Just look at the leaflet, I said, and you'll see it's me. They couldn't remember where they left the leaflet!! Managed to do them though all ok on an 8 weekly. I'm thinking of making it twice weekly if they can't remember ;D

There certainly are some rude window cleaners about, they probably think by being friendly you will somehow steal their customers.
Def wasnt me you saw my dispatch is 56plate so at least someone ellse is being friendly!
