Title: What a waste...
Post by: supernova77 on October 28, 2014, 03:53:54 pm
This is one of my 12 weekly jobs...

It's in the middle of nowhere in the Hampshire countryside.

The guy who owns it can't live in it for more than 4 months in a year because of tax reasons... The rest of the time he lives in Guernsey.

What a waste of a house!  :'(

Has anyone else got any similar customers?

That's well nice. You should offer to live there and look after it for him :)

We have a big place in Weybridge we do full exterior clean twice a year. 'Madam' as she is known is there about 6/8 weeks of the year. It's then panic stations for when she is visiting to make sure there's not so much as a leaf dirtying the driveway. They're owners of the bank of Abu Dhabi or something. Crazy life really. Their house is way over the top, the one in the pics is much nicer.

That's a window cleaners house - you can tell that by his van on the drive.

Used to do very similar in Donegal, Ireland they only lived in it for 6 weeks a year but kept the windows cleaned all year long!! - think it's a backward country - think again - crawling with millionaires - but you'd never spot them - they keep it well hidden.

'Tis true, its good though being wasted all the time because my earnings of £40 per day look like £400 so I can say I earn £400 a day :)

Well going by what some earn on here they could well afford it.

That's well nice. You should offer to live there and look after it for him :)

We have a big place in Weybridge we do full exterior clean twice a year. 'Madam' as she is known is there about 6/8 weeks of the year. It's then panic stations for when she is visiting to make sure there's not so much as a leaf dirtying the driveway. They're owners of the bank of Abu Dhabi or something. Crazy life really. Their house is way over the top, the one in the pics is much nicer.



I wouldn't work for ISIS, but that's just me

Try finding it in the middle of nowhere... Then get in the locked gates... Then go unnoticed by the CCTV cameras!

can't you cross reference pictures in search engines to find where something is these days? as for cctv and gates, gates not a problem and most cctv systems are internal only so not much help.

 My point though, is that If I was your customer and I new you had done this I would be getting a new cleaner.

It drives me mad guy earning a wack here but don`t want to pay tax here.There are two Gents in the Cameron government making money hand over fist and not paying a penny in tax in the U K. Its a disgrace, then they chase us for every penny. There are many companies in the U K  doing  the same thing thats why we need to cut back to same the economy.
